I walk into the theatre to grab some stuff and I see a student on stage looking up at the grid (electrical grid, we have no fly system). We have a sort of talent show for students to be named Mr. BHS. He sees me and says, "You're on the tech crew right?"
"Yeah."
"How much weight can these bars hold?"
"Not enough to hold up a human's weight. No one is flying in for the contest."
"But you did it for the musical last year!"
"Yes, we hired a professional rigging company to install a rig."
"Then can I use it?"
"It's gone, we rented it. No one is flying in."
Apparently, he later went and spoke to my advisor with his climbing harness asking if he could use it. My advisor told him what I told him. He isn't the only person who has asked. Why do they want this friggin title so badly? Like, I'm surprised that he would go to so much effort to the point of setting up a fly rig. I loved the moment though, as soon as I saw him in there, I knew exactly what he was looking for, because of that, I was able to shut him down immediately
