I'm a commercial loan officer. Some real estate had been referred to me by a broker. He had called me demanding approval, and I told him it would likely go to our loan committee scheduled for the following day. Unknown to me, he called our headquarters and bullied the receptionist into pulling our bank's president out of a meeting so this random broker could demand our approval.

My favorite ever bank president told him, "If you must have an answer right now, then the answer is no.".
