As I asked a couple of times to please open and he refused unless I got out of the car and pushed the button he left the "non residents" gate open and cars were flying through while I was being held up along with the cars behind me. I take responsibility for dropping the gate pass but the gate employee, was on a power trip which is a first for me. As an aside, he was smirking as he was shaking his head that he would not open the gate. We have been residents around 14 years and I have never had an experience like this from a Village Employee. I should add that I had just made a round trip to Mayo Clinic and was tired and not prepared for someone who needed attention at my expense. Please no lecturers on responsibilities. I really don't
need that right now!!!

Give the man some respect for doing his job~
