So many people don't understand that when the fire department needs access they NEED access. There was a picture going around of a fire hose going through the front windows of a car that was parked in front of a fire hydrant. Tons of people were being critical, saying they should have gone around or over or under the car. What they don't get is that every kink in the hose reduces the water flow by 50%. I hope everyone would agree that the lives of the eight people trapped in the building were more important than a couple of car windows.
Absolutely correct..HOWEVER then thing with this case is this was NOT an Actual fire, it was a drill contrived specifically to destroy this guy's car. It's a REALLY Good way to get the FD and Store Sued, when they had MORE than enough time in the past to address it with enforcement means through the PD.
Seriously and I always find it find people that get upset that you could have gone over the vehicle know a kink in the hose or just going up more than necessary is a detriment to them that can cost lives
Does everyone forget that a lot of "rent-a-cops" are either retired cops or ones who'd been injured on the job to where they couldn't keep up with the physical demands so they went into security?
I used to think that firefighters putting a hose through a car was fake, and I had seen it done in movies. Now I have seen actual photos and videos of people screaming about damage to their car. They got what they deserve.
The best one are the ones where a traffic cop goes and places a ticket on the vehicle... I hope the insurance catches wind and refuses to pay out... they aren't insuring willful disregard of the laws
And the laws on blocking fire hydrants are in place not just for the firefighters' convenience, but also fluid dynamics. The fire hoses need the extra space so they don't kink and reduce the available water volume/pressure.
Firefighters can in fact 🎶bust the windows out your car🎶 if you're parked in a space where they need to be. In front of a fire hydrant, in the fire lane, etc and I'm pretty sure they don't have to pay for the damages because you shouldn't have been there.
@@LivxLaughxLove it wouldn't be the firefighters anyway. They would have to file a suit against the city or the area the ff worked for so good luck getting that money, lol😂
That last story. I love it. Not only is that a police record that no employer would want to see, but no matter the insurance he has, I am sure it doesn’t cover criminal conduct and illegal bs. So even with full coverage, they won’t cover that.
I was quite happy to witness an incident of rough justice for an illegal parker. It was about 1982 and I was on a city bus going west on Hastings St. In Vancouver, BC. The city buses were all electric (powered by booms that connected to overhead power lines). Even though many of these buses were ancient (late 40s to 50s vintage) they were solidly built and, being electric, had instant and considerable acceleration. Bus stops in the city were usually right after an intersection and this one was no different. So the driver needed to stop (right in front of the Waldorf for any Vancouverites) and a taxi was parked, sloppily, in the bus stop. This meant that the rear half of the bus was still in the intersection - not safe at all. The bus driver laid on the horn but the cabbie wouldn't get out of the way other than to creep forward a couple of feet. The bus was right on this guy's tail but it seemed that the cabbie was under the misapprehenson that a bus stop was his personal taxi stand. After about a minute of honking the bus driver just punched the accelerator. As anyone familiar with electric vehicles can tell you, instant power and a lot of torque can be a wonderful thing. Within about two feet contact was made between a multi ton, solidly built 30-year-old bus and the cab, which was punched right out of the bus stop and, to the delight of us passengers, got a great deal of air in the process. Some people got on, some got off, and everyone was laughing. The bus driver just pulled back into traffic, leaving a hopefully more humble cabbie to contemplate how he was going to explain his destroyed car to the boss. Similar moral: if you're going to pick an entitled parking fight don't do it with someone who can, literally, crush your car. It's been many years since I've thought of this experince but it never fails to give me a warm, satisfied feeling.
There was a story some decades ago when they were testing electric trains out east (in the early 20th century). The factory rep was demonstrating how to start up the new electric locomotive, and was gently easing up to speed. The yard manager wasn't having it and insisted that they should go ahead and apply full power to the locomotive (thinking of how a steam locomotive worked). The factory rep reluctantly complied, only for everyone in the yard immediately shout to stop the train. The sudden lurch forward had resulted in the train pulling the end off an old wooden grain car, and the tracks were now under a pile of grain. The now red-faced yard manager said nothing as he walked back to his office.
reminds me of something i saw: a bus stopped right after turning at an intersection, forcing a SECOND bus to stop IN the intersection, blocking BOTH roads! it only stayed there for a minute, but it was absurd to stop THAT close to the corner...
I'm a paramedic on a small fire department, and yes, we do such things: not necessarily out of any maliciousness, but for the safe operation of our equipment. 😉 However, the results do make us smile (once we're back at station).
Some people just don't live in the real world and think, that rules only exist to bother people and therefore can be ignored. But when it comes to an emergency situation, these same people complain when things don't go well because of stuff like this.
Story 4 - Even better is that the auto insurance company will most likely refuse to cover it when they figure out it was caused by him illegally parking in a fire lane.
Story 2: Being spoiled rotten explains everything. He's a narc who boasts about anything (including crimes) and looks down on others. Hope jail time sets him straight
That gloves thing, really amused me "oh you wear gloves because you don't wanna get calluses when you get home" yes Carl because unlike you, I don't please my +1 with sandpaper fingers
@@Josh_the_jesterI doubt he even HAS a +1. If he does, something tells me he’s the kind of guy who only cares about himself getting off and doesn’t give a damn about his partner’s pleasure. Also I thought the gloves were for safety not avoiding callouses?
In the last story as a former firefighter/paramedic I assure you we will do that to your car. And if you’re parking in the wrong place you are going to be the one paying. We once ran hoses through a Land-rover parked by a fire hydrant in Milwaukee by the Art Museum for a fire as we had no other access due to idiots parking and Summerfest.
Last story, he got off lightly. Where I live, assaulting an emergency worker in the course of duty is jail time, lots of it, no matter how much money you make in a day.
#3 - As (now retired) Sgt. Larkin from OK used to say on Live PD, 'we don't catch the smart ones'. I remember that every time some idiot gets busted on minor traffic violations (speeding, expired tags, etc) or acting up like this idiot did at the hotel. So glad OP recovered from that attack!
I do wonder if the job where he “makes more in a week” will give him the time off for being in jail, and if that reputation will help or harm the company image … companies can be quite sensitive about having criminals on their staff, especially visible staff like sales.
Story 3: that old 1980s "This is your brain on drugs" PSA commercial really wasn't kidding when it came to those guys. Last story: Whatever job that guy had that was making him a lot of money might have been placed in jeopardy now that he has a criminal record.
I have never understood why saving 7 seconds of walking time is worth a potential ticket. Or worse, in this case. Especially when they would be walking for quite a while in the store, anyway. Long enough for this to be set up, at least.
Story 4: his insurance probably won’t pay either because he was parked illegally and most insurance have a clause that if your vehicle is damaged while you are committing an illegal act
this is important to remember, I know one of my old bosses refused to buy all the state rquired life saving medical equipment required for the first aid station in his type of business because he felt he had enough insurance to pay off a wrongful death suit. I pointed out that he was in violation of a sate mandate and thus his insurance would just laugh an refuse to pay and if he looked ther would be a clause in the paperwork saying they did not have to pay if the liability was caused by him breaking the law. by the time I quit, he still didnt beleive me and was still refusing to buy the equipment, as the inspector had been willing to sign his permit without seeing it, guy saw ther Was an aid station, and decided he would sign the pperwork for us to open.
Story 4: We had a similar situation on my street a couple years ago. At one end of my street between the free and paid parking spots Is a fire plug that people regularly park in front of. One day I got home from work just as the fire department was getting ready to leave. They had come to put out a car fire but had a problem with a jeep blocking the plug. So they knocked the driver and passenger windows in the jeep and ran the firehose through the jeep. The hose had already been removed by the time I got there but the girl who owned the jeep was sitting on an apartment stoop crying about the damage to her car. People still park in front of that fire plug.
Story 1: I had a job where the boss sounded entitled like that. Truth is that he was downplaying the severity of issues to deescalate the situation. In this case, cops do have the right to block a driveway for a traffic stop, but a 45-minute traffic stop could be considered excessive and thus spiteful knowing someone unrelated was (illegally) detained. Making OP feel "above the law" in this case beats the bad press.
I'd be curious, if they can block a driveway if it isn't an emergency. Not that they couldn't if there was an emergency, but (and I'm no cop or lawyer) blocking it without other cause seems like a bad idea if there is another option.
Look up what being detained means. The 3rd party is NOT detained. Is it fair they cant use their car? No. Is it proper? No. But they are not detained. Dont use legal words you are too lazy to undertand
@madhatter1057 for the laymen (not a lawyer not legal advice) detention short of an arrest os when a reasonable person would reasonably believe they are not free to leave...this can be by word or action of the officer (not disagreeing with you but including it for those who don't know...and from memory what I've read defined by the Supreme Court, not an exact quote)
@@75ur15 As far as I know from the channel Audit the Auditor, Legislation states they can if performing a traffic stop in a marked car. Though the average traffic stop is, at most, 15 minutes.
@@madhatter1057 From what I recall, the police definition of detainment is to prevent one from leaving by normal means. This may include parking behind a car in a parking lot or at the end of a driveway, or standing behind your bike in a bike rack, as it prevents you from lawfully using your vehicle (this part I could be wrong, but I do believe it is a 4th amendment violation... the freedom of travel, if I recall) This can be overseen during the course of duty (such as blocking traffic or using your mustang as a rest to sniper the mugger in your neighbor's house), but these exemptions cannot be done for an excessive amount of time... And I do believe we can both agree that 45 minutes for a traffic stop is excessive.
By Law, not even Police Officers are allowed to Park blocking a driveway unless the driveway is attached to a home they are responding to an Emergency call AT that specific location... It's actually happened to me and when the Officer refused to move his Cruiser, I called Parking Enforcement (a separate Division in the City government) to report an Illegally Parked vehicle blocking my Driveway...I told them the make and model, but 'forgot' to mention it belonged to City PD...when the Parking Enforcement Officer showed up, he told the Officer to move his Cruiser and the Cop told him what OP's Cop told him..."he'll move when he's finished with his Call"...I wish I had taken a picture of his expression when the Parking Enforcement Officer started writing a Ticket and called for an Impound Tow...Needless to say, Police stopped blocking my Driveway... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Friend of mine is a Firefighter assigned to driving the Pump and his stubborn declaration is "If I've got the blues and twos on and you ain't budging on your own, I'm MAKING you move!"
That story is almost 100% fake. To start, Security isn't just a position you "slide" into. You have to be certified for it, and that's if your place of employment doesn't just contract out their security. Also, guys like the offender don't usually attack people by themselves. They almost always get their friends and jump their targets together. Finally, the most egregious lie was how detailed the fight was. It was played out by someone who has clearly never been hit in the back of the head before. It's grade A Bullshit and it reeks.
.....probably fake i know because ive seen what happened in a situation similar to this the guard at the hotel i was at was beaten to a pulp by the drunken group so badly that he nearly died so yeah this is fake
Fake because at the smell of weed, he should IMMEDIATELY call in the police. It's not his job to get involved or get the risk AT ALL. Totally impossible to suspend disbelief on that one.
The story that Fluff mentions after story 2: It's like people aren't aware that automotive paint shops exist. Or wraps, if you're into that sort of thing. If I got a car that I loved in every way *except* the color, I'd much rather drop a couple thousand for one of those. And it'd probably be the wrap, because then I could get all fancy with designs and stuff.
Last Story: I absolutely hate bad parkers. We had a Camaro take 4 spots, and the only things that saved him from the "sorry for the scratch" note were the cameras and the fact I was late.
Honestly while the captain in the first story framed the yelling around the coffee I can probably play devil's advocate and say that likely isn't the only thing he was worried about and that the officer wasn't punished just for that.
I mean Have you seen how some people get with coffee? If not have you seen how drug addicts get when they can't get a smoke or shoot up? Caffine can do the same as nicotine or many other drugs
@@whitewolf3051 It doesn't matter if it's your own property if you gain financially because of it. People burn their own houses down and get charged with arson, too.
Torching your own vehicle is not arson... you can do what you want with your own property, including burning it... as long as it doesn't cause damage to anything else which isn't yours.
@@recycledapathy7411 do you have any records of anyone convicted of arson, when it is only their own property damaged? Not just charged, as they are innocent until proven guilty. If they are in any sort of shared accomodations, it would be for the willful destruction of the other person/people's property.
that last story I can confirm most ladder trucks have outriggers that are so powerful they can split cinder blocks as they are meant to transfer gravity to balance to be able to support the massive ladder
I enjoy listening to you. I tried listening to other reddit posts but they all sound like they are reading a piece of paper and monotonous. You make it sound like a good story and listening to your best friend. Keep finding those gems and entertaining me for years to come!
The fire fighter story, I'm going to say this, DO NOT PARK IN THOSE SPOTS, OR INFRONT OF FIRE HYDRENTS, FIRE FIGHTERS CAN AND WILL TURN THEIR HOSES THROUGH THE WINDOWS. Also, if all they do is break the windows, those hoses leak, so think before you park where you shouldn't.
Story 2 - Ah the classic school jock bully coworker, the type that harasses and torments people around them but when confronted plays the innocent card. Good on OP for recording that idiot’s boasting about him past crimes without him realizing that he’s being recorded. Also him saying to OP, “I’m smarter than I look.” Had me saying ‘Guess you forgot about karma, moron.’
I hope he develops a hydrocele, and it becomes so large that he can't stand to relieve his bladder, without it running down the front of himself. About the size of a plastic toy basketball although a softball or navel orange will also have the same impact. I know been there done that.
I used to manage an old theater in an even older mall. All cops and security guards got free small cups of popcorn, soda and coffee anytime we were open. I never had to pay for security. Security came right to me!
I instantly knew that the firefighters were going to go through that jerk's car windows. In the words of the late Don Knotts as Barney Fife on the classic TV show, The Andy Griffith Show, "What an idiot!"
Actually what the captain did was make an example. If you have ever ran a team, you know how they worked. When I began my current career, I forgot a process. My manager, who was a chill guy, made an “example” out of me by letting the team know that if they didn’t know that their N.A. creds gave you CA access to Canadian systems, to please tinder your resignation and, in his words, “I’ll write your ‘pimp’ aka staffing company, a great letter of reference. Nobody on the team knew I was the dude who forgot that his US creds had CA privs. Tge captain basically did the same thing and he “removed” the guy who couldn’t remember to ‘protect and serve’
Story 3: I'm curious on what sort of reality those three came from, because having a warrant for four criminal charges, repeating said crimes at the OP hotel was at, and having zero consideration for others' sleep feels unreal. Being this trashy is rare
😂 I was skeptical until the kid said he was a “Maintenance Engineer”. Boy howdy, engineering degrees are fairly tough to get, so he must be one of those soooper smart prodigies. Also, he was so high up the chain of command he referred to other employees (who were all ever so very, very beneath him) with titles like “Front Desk Lady”. Add in how he made a point to specify the trashy hotel guests as “adults” and, gosh, who could question him?? 😆 Ooooh, I’ll bet he was being modest about his fighting skillz, cuz he knocked that big “adult" down and cuffed him! He was prolly trained in some type of classified military operation of super-soldiers… JK
First one both the Captain and the Officer were clearly entitled, but at the very least the Captain's entitlement was aimed right where it needed to go.
2:45 - In all fairness, coffee addiction can make people do crazy things. 3:57 - The fact that this guy took note of how his coworkers used the toilet is scary!
Ty for calling it what it is, an addiction! Nothing against addicts, it just pisses me off that people look down on other substances people are addicted to but not coffee.
I will never understand some people’s sense of entitlement. I once dropped my car off at the mechanic. I parked it on the side street and gave the mechanic my keys. On my way out I noticed that I had accidentally parked a few inches into a red zone. I went in to get my keys to move my car. Luckily the mechanic was on his way out to get my car anyway. I’m sure a case like mine worst case would have been a talking to but still.
The loud, drunk, high party in the hotel reminds me of a local, Scottish, crime writer saying in an interview… the smart criminals don’t get caught out easily.
The insurance fraud one was definitely charged with at LEAST 3 THINGS, 1. INSURANCE FRAUD, 2 filing a false police report, 3. Arson, as well as possibly 4. wasting police time, and possibly finned the money used to employ the police time and resources to investigate the original, false, case.
it's not arson... you are allowed to set fire to your own property. 1, 2, 4... yes. If you call your insurance "Hey, I'm calling to cancel my insurance... because I torched my own vehicle" and they want to pay out for it... that is on their own! If you torch it without the permits for a fire, and don't clean it up after... that could be a separate issue :)
The main fire truck for my rural area is a behemoth of a tanker, which they apparently bought as military surplus... It's the size of a locomotive and has a bulldozer engine. If there's a car in the fire lane, they just run it over. Or shunt it off into a ditch. Needless to say, that happens very rarely!
I'm so excited for these stories. I've been away for a while as these stories were causing me anxiety. As someone who used to work in the service industry, the audacity of some people never ceases to amaze me. Thanks DarkFluff!
I heard of a story that was pretty similar to the second Entitled story. This teenage girl just turned sixteen, and her parents got her a new car for her birthday, but then she started crying about how it wasn't the model that she wanted, and it was a pretty kickass car, I'd take it if driving didn't scare or stress the 🔥🔥🔥🔥 out of me
I have seen several video's where a person parked in front of a fire hydrant. Yess, the fire department will beak your window, and put the hose into your car to get to the hydrant. So as Foest Gump would say, stupid is as stupid does. Lol
I have seen photos of cars that parked in a fire or fire hydrant zones and their windows got totally smashed when an emergency happened. I wonder if the repair expense was worth the entitlement? Maybe the cars and owners were severely FINED for being stupid and entitled?
Story 1: here in the UK the emergency services can block your car for as long as they need to, it's the law. In the last few years they've had to put up with entitled idiots barging in on resuscitations, severe injuries, heart attacks etc.. to demand they move their vehicles. They get told to go away but probably not that politely, I mean imagine if it was your family member! There was one on tv where a white van man (known for being terrible drivers in the UK) even blocked an ambulance in being a right dick and he refused to move when the patients family were begging him because their father was so sick the delay could kill him! He only moved when he realised he was being recorded. Sadly their father did die a few days later.
This was a traffic stop though. And should have not taken so long. For a routine traffic stop in the US, they shouldn't be blocking a driveway. For a full "Code 3" response, or fire and medical, yes, they can, but they try not to if possible. For medical, that driveway might be needed for a gurney, so blocking it would make it more difficult to get a patient in an ambulance
@@oldmanjim2376 I'll agree the traffic stop took too long, and it's the same in the UK they don't block a drive unless they have to. But, it's still the law so if they're actually working and not just sitting in the car there isn't a lot you can do. If it's just a traffic stop you could ask nicely I suppose but there is nothing that legally compels them to move. If you are going to be late for work all you can do is what the OP did and take a photo and send it to your boss.
Story 3: this. This is why stupid people shouldn't commit crimes, they always get caught in the most obvious and idiotic Ways. What was even his plan, he hit the guy with the bottle and he'll just ...not do anything?
Most likely he was hoping to knock him out so him and his gang could flee. However having adrenaline already pumping from dealing with idiots make this almost impossible. Very likely OP was fuzzy for a moment but thanks to adrenaline already pumping and the immediate pain dose of adrenaline it gave him enough juice to do what he did.
Perhaps he played more f those video games which a single action impedes one’s opponent, and there are really no downstream consequences for any “completed” action.
story 4 I'm pretty sure his insurance would refuse to pay out for the BMW since he caused it's destruction by his own negligence.( and any future car insurance premiums would go up if he ever got a new vehicle)
What? This person is normally the ‘maintenance’ guy, and the hotel brass decide to make him a security guard for a couple of weeks? Hell no! The hotel should have paid for a trained security guard! He would know the do’s and don’ts….
Story 1: Though the police captain comes off as entitled, that may not be the ACTUAL case. It is not incommon for law enforcement issues like this to result in a public beratement geared towards maximum humiliation, but once back in the station they get punishment for the more appropriate reason - be it just a chewing out or domething more official. Public humiliation IS a proven effective punishment(as long as its not TOO extreme), after all. But also, consider this: these officers all would have known each other well. The officer would probably know if it was actually the coffee delay that angered the captain, or the blocked driveway. The ribbing he'd get later from the other officers afterwards, though, would be much more brutal after being chewed out over something like that, which could make the whole punishment MORE effective than if he'd been chewed out JUST for blocking the driveway. Blocking a driveway likely does not get an official punishment, so the chewout needs to be as effective as possible. And making it seem utterly insane would ABSOLUTELY help. Now, not knowing these cops, I can't say if ANY of the above is the case here. But I do know such is practiced by the city police up where I live, so its a possibility to be acknowledged.
Regarding the last story, wealthy people don't see things like others. When told you can't park there (no parking zone for example), they say, sure you can it just costs X (no parking ticket fees). They don't see themselves doing anything wrong, it's just X amount of dollars to do what they want.
Story 3: I once heard the philosophy: "Don't commit two crimes". If you're trying to get away with one thing, don't call attention to yourself with another. Driving license unpaid/suspended? Drive like an angel (no speeding, no blown stop signs/red lights). Wanted for drugs, don't have a bunch of drugs you're not allowed to smoke in a hotel room anyway, AND cause such a ruckus that the hotel throws you out AND assault the guy just doing his job so they call the cops on you, etc. :) Another story of yours I said the same thing, a parent with no access tried to bully a library into telling her if her daughter was there - against their rules for exactly such a reason - then the idiot called the cops HERSELF with tales that the library was hiding her daughter in the STAFF ROOM. Yeah, they'd really let a random teenaged patron into the staff-only room for no particular reason.
Story 3: It doesn't seem like the majority of these selfish idiots resort to assault and/or murder when they don't get their way, but it's worrying how many do. Story 4: I guess in that guy's mind, "emergency vehicle parking" means "I have to park my vehicle somewhere, and that's an emergency!"
As to the hotel story it's a case of instant idiots just ad alcohol. As to the last story the manager should have called the police the first and every time the jerk parked in the emergency zone to have him ticketed and towed. Since the jerk made so much money he could afford it. He also should have to pay for repainting the outriggers on the fire truck.
Being an actual female firefighter, yes, people complain about fire trucks parking in the fire lane because they want to park there 2. Yes people think because you're a girl you can't be a firefighter 3. I will ABSOLUTELY put a 5-inch line through your window if you park next to the hydrant 🫠 4. Probation is a light sentence because interfering with a firefighter is a felony & judges typically don't play 5. My chief would do the same but the people in the neighborhood I work love me & I love them
For that last story, if he was as rich and as a big shot as he thought he was. He would have just have had to deal with the insurance claim and buying a new car, and about 800 in tickets and fines, no need to go to jail over $800 in pocket change to have the privilege of parking in the emergency lane. Or he could have just saved half of that and just parked illegally in a handicap spot. Since tickets aren't really a deterrent but the cost of privilege
1983 in Phoenix, AZ a idiot in a pickup parked in a fire lane all the time rather than walk 100 ft or less. A fire broke out in the storage part of the business and the alarm goes hey tried to locate the guy in the store. he was not there. The fire truck-pumper- shoved his pickup thru a cinder block wall and went to work. Entitled ass tried to sue and got over $5000 total fines and a smashed up truck that was impounded and sold for scrap.
Last story - wouldn't it be easier to call the police for a vehicle parked in the fire lane (making the dispatcher aware that it is a repeat, and arrogant, offender), have the car ticketed and booted, ..... and then towed? But, of course, the police will only respond on the call as soon as they are available. Plus, not as much fun for the fire fighters either.
I had an interesting parking situation. I live in rural America. My nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. I’m surrounded by far fields and woods on one side. On Saturday morning during harvest season I went out to cut my grass and to my surprise there were 2 grain haulers in my gravel driveway. They offered to move but I said no I’m not going anywhere. 2 weeks later the farmer came by and gave me $200 for the inconvenience. Then 2 weeks later a gravel truck showed up and spread fresh gravel. The arrangement is still going on 5 years later.
Story 4: I'm curious as why the car was crushed! New side windows and pounding out the dents in his hood don't add up to the value of a newish BMW. I mean, unless it was done "accidentally on purpose."
I'm unsure of what the OP meant. Maybe the OP was referring to it being crushed by the ladder truck supports, but maybe it was crushed after it was towed because it was unrepairable? After all, if the supports were large enough then they probably severely damaged the engine block and frame of the car. I think that's the more likely meaning.
story 1: 40 minutes? how long was that ticket? it should take 5 minutes at most, either he's the worst cop in the world or he was just making an excuse to skip work, either way he should be fired.
I had a student, a spoiled rich kid, who was dissatisfied with his ipad. He deliberately smashed it (I witnessed the smashing) on the assumption Mommy would buy him a new one. She did not. This made me happy.
I'm deeply confused why the store hadn't called the cops on that entitled jerk. The very first time he did it and refused to move would have warranted a call and the police would have ticketed him.
RIIIIGGGHHHTTT...... "CARL" WAS A CLOSET HARDCORE "BOTTOM".... DUDE LOVED GETTING "PEGGED"...... WE'RE TALKING "PARKING CONES" AND "NO LUBE" LEVEL PEGGING!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We had a situation in Brooklyn, NYC when I resided there. Someone parked their high end Mercedes Benz next to a hydrant. (A 7 series, I think.) Bad move! A fire did break out and his precious Benz had the windows smashed out to allow the larger hose to pass through. The team "accidentally" didn't tighten the coupling that joined two hoses and the Benz became a swimming pool! The fire was extinguished after about three hours and the fire crew took over an hour to break things down and leave. Eventually, a tow truck arrived to haul the Benz pool away! Plenty of photos were taken at the time by both the fire crew and the police. We never found out what happened to the Benz or the owner but, that hydrant remained clear for a long time afterward. LOL
Fluff in my family coffee isn’t referred to as coffee it’s referred to as Anti Murder Juice and based on that story that would apply to the captain as well. 😂🤣😂 2:51
Fourth story: Being a dougebag and disregard the fire fighters by parking illegall is an expensive mistake. They are allowed to destroy any car that is in the way of their work if is parked. Worse is to assault a fire fighter.
With wanting a different color of a car just save up the amount of you need to repaint it and to register it with DMV. The color of the car has to be on the registration form.
Something about the last story: Most of the people that live rich actually just have the highest amount of debt. A lot (but not most) of the people that are actually rich don't live lavishly. Most of the people that are actually rich understand how not to risk a "high risk, no reward" way of just bleeding money. Essentially: pretty sure that guy wouldn't be able to get another luxury car anytime soon. While I may be wrong, I at least like to hope that's the case here, lol.
Never underestimate the power of stupidity, particularly when alcohol is involved. I have seen drug users do particularly stupid things all the while telling people how smart they are. Usually happens just before they get busted. I worked for a volunteer fire department in a very small town and we had two guys who abused alcohol and drugs. The number of ways those two got caught were astounding. Their brilliant plans usually resulted in a fire, a car wreck or some other incident involving an emergency response. At least we didn’t get bored. The police after a while just took whatever they were doing that week and didn’t even bother to arrest them. Someone wrote a book about those two but labeled it comedy fiction because no one would believe the idiocy that they came up with. Eventually one of them got killed during one of their harebrained schemes and the other fried his brain completely and was institutionalized. Tragic end to comedy gold.
This is really true what happens if you think you have the right to do whatever you want including insulting a firefighter. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
