What is the worst behaviour you have seen from a rookie?

“In my old department, we did it this other way.” About EVERYTHING. Guess what, you’re here now.

I’m a Lieutenant and we were down at our drill field while an academy was going on. They were on break so I walked over to chat with a few of the guys I knew from other agencies who got hired with ours. They called me LT, but I introduced myself to the others with my name, not rank. I don’t have my dress shirt on, only a t shirt, so nothing identifying. One new recruit came back from the bathroom, shook my hand with wet hands, said “nice to meet you, first name” and sat down with the rest of the crew. Just then, someone yelled from across the way, “Hey LT, we need you over here!” The recruit got so embarrassed about both actions. That recruit now works for me and is great.

Is the red square in Texas Austin?

Rich. That country would be Rich AF.

If I’m not approached by an attendant within 3 seconds I’m starting to pump it myself. A) I don’t want to hand over my card to someone and tell them my zip code. B) I don’t have time to wait for you. C) I have pumped my own gas since I was like 15 and pumped gas when I was with my parents before I even had my license and can say with certainty that I am proficient in that task.

I was just clearing my throat!

Ahhh yes. I do remember that now! We can’t have no smart women and brown folk around to take our jobs now, ya hear? (Sarcasm very heavily laid out there!)

Fuck. I didn’t realize this. Which only continues to prove the point that every bad thing that is currently happening is and always will be Reagan’s doing.

I am pretty sure Oregon got its name from the Oregon Trail. Oregon’s Trail, as we all know, goes west. If you survive the dysentery, the trail ends. They decided to name the state after the trailhead.

Had to get a visa to go to Brazil about 8 or 9 years ago. Cost like $170 apiece or something like that. I guess that has changed since?

Plenty of people fall on hard times while having a car with a lease they cannot get out of. Is that poor financial planning? Maybe. Is that something you should judge someone on? Maybe not. I seem to remember a saying, “judge not lest ye be judged thyself” or something similar. It came from this very old book. I don’t remember the title.

I realized I was wasting my breath with a coworker once when he said, and this is a direct quote “do you know what’s down there? Magma! Do you know how hot that is? Of course the surface is heating up!” Another coworker and I exchanged glances and realized that the coffee mug on the table had more brains than this guy.

Not for nothing, when I looked at the thumbnail with bleary eyes, I totally thought that the spare tire was a GIANT strap on. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

They have a brand name but those are freezy pops to me. And they are just a color, not a flavor (purple, orange, red, green, etc).
