So I work at a law office. Paralegal by trade and I man the front desk.

I am sitting at my desk after lunch and the attorney has a clear calendar so I am not expecting any one. This guy walks in shaking with papers in his hand and he is not a client.

I am alone and not happy at this point. Thank goodness I am also a mediator and have lots of practice and training at reading people and talking to people. We had a good conversation and while still alert that he was not "right" I managed to get him out the door happy and hopefully he will not be back.

Working downtown brings in the weird ones. I know that when I worked for a family law attorney she used to tell me horror stories of angry family members and people beating on her doors. This is why she had a mobile office, her car, and only met clients in public areas. I worked at her physical office and we got the stalkers cause someone would follow her back the physical office and start ranting and raving. She actually advised that if I went into family law that I get a gun and keep it at my desk. I'll stick with pepper spray. Something about shooting client's exes while at work is just weird.
