I have about 3 years of security experience total, with 2 years at this job. You can probably guess where it was that I worked at… a certain clothing store that might remind you of Bob Ross (hint hint). There were lots of good and bad memories, I'll mostly miss… ## [Conference Center Chronicles: The Level of C.E.O. Ass Kissing Was Overwhelming](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1u06t4s/conference_center_chronicles_the_level_of_ceo_ass/) _2026-06-08 · /u/GuardGuidesdotcom_ This is another entry into the conference center chronicles but a little more... abstract. One day the CEO came in for a meeting. Not common but not once in a lifetime either. He pulled up in his own convertible BMW. I come in to clock in, and my supervisor Paul is in the office like, “Yeah, CEO is here, that’s his car. I’m watching that thing like a hawk haha.” Yea tee hee... I just looked at… ## [Inspired to poetry](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1tj50ec/inspired_to_poetry/) _2026-05-21 · /u/one\_who\_reads_ So, the other night, I had someone call the site phone only to make pig oinking sounds. This inspired me to write a short rhyme. Censored to make it SFW. I don't understand why you call me a pig,/ perhaps it's a sign that your d\*\*\* isn't big./ I'm not the police here to curb what you do,/ but I can call them up to have them tresspass you. submitted by /u/one\_who\_reads \[link\] \[comments\] ## [Scary noises late at night.](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1rbnhkb/scary_noises_late_at_night/) _2026-02-22 · /u/BearFLSTS_ I worked security while in junior college and got a night shift at a construction site out in the bookies. About 3 am one morning I started hearing these horrible yowling and screaming sounds echoing between the buildings. The weather patterns had the area in some dense fogs and my flashlight was nearly useless. I think I almost soiled myself before discovering a pair of stray cats who were either… ## [A moment from my time in security that still sticks with me](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1rbhrkg/a_moment_from_my_time_in_security_that_still/) _2026-02-22 · /u/candidapollo2_ It's been a few years since I worked in security, but this event still stands out in my memory. TL;DR: Cop shot a deer, it was left by a playground, and I left security some time after this. In my last month as a security guard, I was getting ready to switch to a job as a bank teller. I was frustrated because I had been working a two-person weekend post at a company's headquarters alone for three… ## [Conference Center Chronicles: Allergic to Dogs, Addicted to Petting Them](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1qtdbil/conference_center_chronicles_allergic_to_dogs/) _2026-02-01 · /u/GuardGuidesdotcom_ There was a meeting of the client’s corporate HR department, or at least a portion of it, which included the national HR head. So it’s about 11am and myself, the client assistant general manager, and my security coworker are in building 1. We had already received and settled the HR group arrivals a couple hours before, so they were mostly in their rooms unpacking until their first conference at 1… ## [Moderation update](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1qmz6q5/moderation_update/) _2026-01-25 · /u/jacksalssome_ Hi all, You've probably noticed the lack of moderation the last few months.

This was at a City government bldg downtown, where I did 2nd shift. Al relieved me for the overnight. Al was an interesting character in his youth he raced baja Beetle's in the dessert dunes of California. You know, the volks-wagen beetles with the snub nose and the fat exhausts sticking out the back? Big tires, exposed engine, whole shebang.… ## [Refer a Friend, Earn Rewards (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/ufgxccTYcLcz) _2025-12-02 · **Sponsored**_ Earn rewards when friends get the Graphite Business Card through your referral. ## [Conference Center Chronicles: The Lobby Showdown That Turned Into a National Geographic Episode](https://www.reddit.com/r/talesfromsecurity/comments/1pbllr4/conference_center_chronicles_the_lobby_showdown/) _2025-12-01 · /u/GuardGuidesdotcom_ This is yet another tale from my time working at the conference center, part of the series I’ve been putting together. If you want the earlier episodes, they are at the bottom, but on to today's chapter: So I’m at the front desk of the main conference center building, minding my business, when I hear two client employees screaming at each other. Not arguing. Screaming. I walk to the front entrance…
