Picked The Wrong Piggy To Back

Bizarre, Employees, Hospital, Ignoring & Inattentive, New Hires, USA | Working | May 13, 2020

I work for a rather big cafeteria inside a large hospital. This happens shortly after I start and am still trying to find my way around. I have an issue that needs a supervisor’s attention, but I cannot find one. A coworker tells me that they’ve seen the supervisor near the back storage area, a huge, unorganized maze of an area that I am not familiar with. I see someone who vaguely looks like her going through a door, so I run after to catch up, grabbing the lady by the arm… except it’s not my manager.

Me: “I’m sorry. I’m looking for [Supervisor]. Has she come back here?”

Lady: “[Supervisor]? [Supervisor]? No such person exists here. Who are you? Where did you come from? What are you doing here? Do you know where you are? What have you seen? Who sent you? What have you done? Do you know what we do with lost sheep back here? BAA BAA BAA.”

As she’s saying this, she grabs my shoulders and starts practically screaming in my face, walking me backwards towards the door we came through. I try to stammer out an answer while struggling to get away from her when she reaches behind me and opens the door. She leads me out the door and around the corner to a room where my supervisor is talking with another coworker.

Lady: “Ah, [Supervisor], seems like you’ve lost another sheep; keep better watch over your flock, shepherd. BAA BAA BAA.”

I was shaking and in tears as I told my supervisor what happened and angry when she burst out laughing.

Turns out, the door I went through was to a very restricted area that I definitely was not allowed to be in. Running up behind someone as they use their clearance to enter a door is a rather serious offense called “piggybacking” and I could have gotten into trouble if I had been caught by the wrong person. The lady I ran into meant no harm and knew I was there by mistake and just wanted to scare me so I didn’t try to do it again.

She apologized later and, as it turns out, she’s actually a nice person. Just really, really weird.
