For example, I once saw a man throw his hat down in anger. He didn't stomp on it which was kind of a let down.

You know when a scientist/expert warns people about a disaster and they don't believe him and a short time later they actually suffer from that disaster?

Well. I was that expert. I do disaster response planning for a living.Told a large public company that they are at risk of a certain scenario. They told me that they don't believe it would apply to them and basically kicked me out.

Two weeks later they were on national news for it.

Not that it would have changed a thing - projects we do take months and do not prevent a disaster, just deal with the risk much better.

But still. Felt surreal.

What was the scenario (if you don't mind saying)?

Sorry, it would be easy to identify the customer then, so sadly I can't.
