What not to do

In Today's lesson, we are going to talk about the concept of making people feel uncomfortable. I've recently discovered/witnessed/been victimized by several methodologies for causing moderate social discomfort, and I'd like to share a few of them with you.

Technique 1: Making customers feel awkward.
Step 1. Get a job as a receptionist in a smallish office. Small enough so that you know everyone that works there. The office should be part of a larger business such that people will come in from other offices. You may not know these visitors.
Step 2. Speak with someone from a different office, but whom you do not know, on the phone. Tell them that yes, they may use the conference room at your office to meet with a customer later that day. Be sure to not remember who you were talking to after you've hung up.
Step 3. When the customer arrives in advance of the employee they are meeting with (let's call him Joe), welcome them to your office with a blank, pleasant stare. When they ask for Joe, have the following conversation with them:
Them: I'm here to see Joe.
You: What? (say this as if they asked you where you keep the goats)
Them: I have a meeting with Joe.
You: You want to see Joe? (say this as if Joe is Ebola)
Them: Yes
You: Are you sure you are in the right office? (say this as if you suspect they were looking for KGB headquarters)
Them: Yes (smiles, albeit confusedly)
You: Oh well you should wait in here, I think he might have called earlier (direct them to a small conference with glass walls)
You: << Whine to co-workers about how it's late and you want to go home (it's 5:00) >>


OK I was going to write about another one but we'll save that for another time.
