This guy in the computer lab apparently has lost his cell phone. He'd been in the lab, printed things, then wandered around the library for a bit. He came back to my desk and asked if anyone had turned in a phone. No one had. Then he asked if we could use our desk phone to call it so he could find it. I was reluctant but did. So it's ringing and ringing, I told him that I couldn't hear the phone ring, and he said, "It's on vibrate."
...
Then he went and searched the area near the desk he had been sitting at, which made sense to me. The guys who had the computer at the time were totally cool about it and helped him look. No luck. So he heads up to our main desk to see if anyone turned in the phone up there. No one had. He heads back to my desk and asks if anyone turned in a phone back here. No one had, in the past five minutes since he'd been back here before. Then the two guys that had been at the computer station he'd been at before got up to leave. The guy with the missing cell phone stopped them and asked if they'd seen his phone. The two guys said no, sorry. Then the guy asked him, "Wait, what's that in your pocket??" I was taken aback by that blatantly rude statement. The guy got annoyed and took out the phone in his pocket. "It's my own damn cell phone, want to strip search us??"
