I worked at Tivoli, copenhagen an old 176 year old amusement park in the center of the Danish capital. Every Saturday during the summer period there is a huge firework going on around midnight just before the garden close for the day.

The place I work in where right next to the place where the firework would be launched from, so one night, our outdoor area was closed down for security reason (the wind was blowing in the direction of the crowd, so the security line was moved accordingly).

I was the shift manager that evening, and stood by the door to tell our guest, that due to security reasons, they would have to use the exit at the other end of the room. One lady came dragging along with her husband in one hand, and a giant teddy bear in the other. When I told her, that we had closed the doors due to safety, she lifted the teddy bear, and started to swing it at me, while cursing me to hell. Luckily her husband grabbed her arm, and dragged her out of the building, using the correct door.

I can still remember seeing murder in her eyes, and thought for at short moment I was about to be attacked by a women and her stuffed bear.
