Poll : Pet Peeves

What are your pet peeves at work? The officer that tells you "stand by a sec, I'm on a stop" every time you try to radio him...even if it's just to give him the info HE asked for!!! The field supervisor who keeps reassigning units to calls after you've dispatched them.....to that person I say, " You wanna come up here and dispatch? You can have my headset and I'll take a break" LOL But I guess you can't take things like that too seriously..... ...so, What are your pet peeves at work? Paula

Well, we have a really nice but really annoying trooper who goes out on a traffic stop like this: "I'll be on Wall near Court on ABC123" Then you sign him off. Then: "30, Make that Court near Adams." Then you sign him off again. Then: "30, it'll be Adams at Grand..." AGAIN... Then: "30, we're pulling into the AM/PM parking lot..." Urrrrghhhh!!!

Oh and let me not forget the troop who actually (SERIOUSLY!) told me he was going into pursuit mode as a car looked like it was going to try to run on him....and it ended up being an *abandoned vehicle*. Ummmmm.....must have been a Mazda - or whatever one they advertise that looks like it's fast. Would have been a perfect commercial for it! Dina

That is too funny!! I think I know that officer's cousin from Chicago!!! A few years back we heard about an unusual foot chase.Not sure waht it was for, but they had already chased this guy for several blocks. The offender ran into a fairly large grocery store with the officers close behind. The dispatcher on duty during this told us how the officers were giving direction of flight info, "he's heading towards the produce section"...it was too funny!

....."Watch out! He's headed for the donuts!!!"
