Uhhh, since when is a 911 dispatcher an authority figure?
I know you are asserting this. But that most people would assume they are scares me. No disrespect to any dispatchers out there, I know many are well trained and perform a very noble duty. But it ain't exactly having a cop or fireman or paramedic on the horn...
Anyone can be an authority figure. Since when is a frumpy office worker on a staircase an authority figure? Since when is the fake experimenter in Milgram's experiment an authority figure over a volunteer who is free to disobey, discontinue, and leave at any time?
I can be and have been an authority figure; you have too. Criminals are often authority figures. The only thing it takes to be an authority figure is at least one person to perceive you as one.
This is funny too.
