Douche Box kid

DBK. He comes into the arcade and says he has project room 2 reserved, 5 minutes earlier he was on a computer upstairs reserving the room, I have already told him twice that he needs to reserve it atleast a day in advance before it is "reserved" otherwise its first come first serve. Today he wanted the mic, so I gave it to him and he asks "are you going to unlock it for me?", I reply, "It's already unlocked you can just go on in", "What?", "Its already unlocked you can go right in", "Are you sure its wise to keep it unlocked", "yeah, why", "people could take things in there", "All the computers are locked down and I can see the door from here", "I don't think YOU should keep it unlocked" and he turns and walks away. Later he walks up, "I can't get the sound to play from audacity in there, something is wrong with your computer", "Alright I'll come take a look at it.", "Alright you'll have to unlock it", "What?", "I locked the door", "Why?", "I didn't want my stuff to get taken and if my stuff got taken it would be your fault and you wouldn't like that would you", "First, your stuff isn't going to get taken, I can see the door from here and no one else goes in those rooms. Second, it wouldn't be my fault you didn't take your stuff with you when you left, thus not my problem if it gets taken. Third, you can't lock those doors University policy", "It would totally be your fault, you weren't watching my stuff in your room" , "Sorry man, the law doesn't work that way with public areas, the city doesn't owe you anything if you leave your stuff in a park", "Well, why can't I lock the door then!", "As I just said its a public area, we try our best to monitor these areas and keep any areas closed that aren't in use, but anyone has the right with legitimate reason to use the facilities. That includes the policy to lock rooms that aren't in use and keep rooms unlocked that are", "I would totally sue you guys then and win.", "Right.."So I ask mei for her keys, she doesn't have them and took the spare key and left it at home. Mei is supposed to be closing tonight... Luckly Choong Hee was around, this is where I left and let mei deal with the Douche.

Okay, another quick one, the other day he was trying to talk to Scott about sound editing. He is working I think in premiere and wants to get a huge view of the wave form to edit or something. Scott was like why don't you pull it in to audacity? So Scott was showing him stuff in audacity and the DBK starts whistling right in Scott's ear. Loud enough that everyone in the arcade can hear it. He then tries to talk to Scott about sound editing like he knows a bunch of stuff and like his projects are extremely important. I'm pretty sure its the same kid and I'll have to have Scott to confirm this story, but I think I'm about 90% correct on this one.
