Schizophrenic Office Incident
Share
Andrew Wilkinson shares a concerning security incident from his past about an unstable visitor to his office.
"I had this incident 6 years ago where a schizophrenic guy in my city thought that because we worked with Apple, we had the Apple Watch plans - this was before the Apple Watch came out. He showed up in our office in a super manic state, quivering and demanding with his fist bared that we give him the Apple Watch stuff.
We were able to cool him down and get him out since I have some schizophrenic people in my family who knew how to deal with it. But you think about it - that kind of stuff's only going to happen more as you have a bigger and bigger presence. That kind of stuff's a little freaky. You don't want to get like John Lennon'd."
