During an ATSA strike at my Unit many years ago the General Manager, having updated the movement log was pacing up and down behind the tower controller, making him feel a bit nervous.
The ATCO asked him several times if he wouldn't mind leaving the tower, but the GM just ignored him and kept lurking.
In desperation (or was it devilment
) the tower controller called the airport police and reported the GM for compromising flight safety!
Shortly afterwards the airport Plods arrived with blue lights flashing as the GM scurried down the stairs to explain himself.
Class!
