There's been a home invasion! It looks like baby-R-Us exploded in our living room. wtbf...
Feeling tired, think I'll try to get some rest. I don't expect I'll fall asleep though, my sleep schedule is so screwed up. Down side to working nights, the nights you have off you can't sleep.
6 pm can NOT come soon enough. Idk if I've ever missed Cass this much in all my life. I would meet her in the parking lot but that would require getting this little
Shhhhhh do NOT move, do NOT make a sound. Do NOT wake that kid up.
Last night was relatively quiet for a Saturday, Not all that many calls and the ones we did have were nothing all that notable. So that was a good thing.
some ppl are beyond help, esp those who refuse to listen to reason.
Down boy. How you been? Im about to hop off but thought I would pop in to pester you. Lol
ok, I suppose. sorry, I was offline for bit. s'ok I'll catch ya next time.
I must be getting tired, I've had an infomercial on for like the last 10 minutes....
Sometimes my dad will get really into an infomercial.

Just for shits and giggles, think we can keep the tomfuckery to a minimum today? I really don't have the patience to deal with idiots atm
I get you. I'm not in that kind of mood, but they come all too often.
They come less now than they did but when they hit, they hit hard. On the upside they seem to pass quicker.
That's good :) nice to get it over with
Today was NOT the day to try and accomplish anything. I should have known better! wtbh!
"it's just a scratch, can probably be buffed out." So get buffing buddy boy. smh F*&%ing asshole.
On hold for over 20 minutes, finally someone answers, goes to place me back on hold only to disconnect the call. ARRGHHHH! this has been my day.
I have a very interesting story to tell, but it will have to wait cus I have to work tonight.
I am dragging tonight and I shouldn't be after 10hrs sleep. I'm reallllly not looking forward to this shift. Hopefully it goes quick.
ok, the story -for those unfortunate enough to click on this thread I apologize- and for those who purposely clicked in this thread..I apologize, JK, anyway, the latest work related incident, we get a call from the state trooper, report of a car off the road, we pull up and they seem to be quite amused...the guy is hand cuffed to the steering wheel with fuzzy handcuffs, butt ass naked. One of the officers had a blanket in his trunk to cover the bloke. smh that was probably the worst night of his life.
Don't you just love it when ppl volunteer you for things without your knowledge or approval?
Bahahahaha I wonder what the story behind that was. Especially because fuzzy handcuffs are pretty easy to get out of XD

It was def an entertaining call.
Dang. Rofl. That's hilarious
The call after that was a wreck, they took the guy to the hospital he kept telling the emt he needed his flip flop, they thought he was just disoriented, and when we went to hook up the car realized there was a small dog cowering in the back, tags read Flip Flop, poor thing was scared to death. Had to track down a family member to come get the pup. Once I put him in our rig and held him he was ok. Idk what kind of dog it was.
Awwwww poor baby <3 what did it look like?
tan, black muzzle tiny though, that's why I can't pin point the breed, just a pup manybe 6 mo?
Huh, interesting. And Flip Flop is an adorable dog name. Lol
I googled it almost looks like a pug but not quite...def mix breed. we'll agree to disagree, and thank God you will never name one of my pets (should I ever have one)
Huh, interesting. Sounds adorable :) Lol it is cute but I'd never name my pet Flip Flop. Unless it was like a rabbit or something
smh could you imagine though? thinking you're gonna get lucky, nice lil menage a trois and then....poor bloke, he'll never live that one down.
I bet you see a lot of interesting things with your job.
Elizabeth wrote: "I bet you see a lot of interesting things with your job."...come to think of it, yeah I do. I should come up with a list of the top 10
Elizabeth wrote: "you should!"ok, give me a few days. (Yes I'm that lazy atm)
Most notable calls/recoveries: (In no particular order) - Treed car - this car had apparently gone air born and landed up in a tree. The limbs supporting the car were sagging but this became a debate on how to remove said car because the town wanted to safe the tree if at all possible. In the end we were called back 3 days later when it was decided the only thing that could be done was to cut the tree down to remove the car.
- Truck in pond - scorned ex lover sent a guys f150 into the a pond.
- Fuzzy Handcuff guy - got a call for a car that was off road, when we arrived the cops on scene were quite amused, here the guy was butt ass naked, handcuffed to the steering wheel of his car. He had apparently tried to drive but the handcuffs hindered the process and he ended up off the road and stuck. He had also been robbed of his wallet, phone, clothes and some drugs...
- Fire! - arrived on the scene of an average wreck, once we got the go we started to prepare to load the vehicles up when all of a sudden one of the guys yelled Fire, as he is backing away flames just shot up from this car, it was like something out of a movie.
- Hold my kid -got a road side assistance call, this lady had like three kids and has she is trying to handle everything she turns to me - me! of all ppl, shoves this kid in my arms and says, 'hold my kid' ...I can only imagine the look on my face.
- Teeter tooter - Car involved in a collision ended up sideways on the cement barrier wall on the highway and was just perfectly balanced there, but if you touch one end or the other it was like a teeter tooter.
- repeat customer - roadside assistance call - lady had a flat, we replaced the flat with the spare and she was once again on her way. About half hour later we get a call and arrive, its the same lady with another flat tire.
- Paid invite - show up for a road side assistance call, while I'm changing the tire this girl offers to pay me to accompany her to a dinner obligation. Apparently she was attending an event and her parents were under the impression that she was in a relationship (apparently she works a lot so she 'technically' considers herself married to her work) so in order to hold up the facade she asked if I would attend the event with her and maybe another while her parents were in town.
- Flip Flop - apparently a guy that had been involved in a wreck kept saying he needed his flip flop emt's assumed he was disoriented. But has we went to load the car up we found a small dog cowering on the floor behind the backseats. Tags showed the dogs name was Flip Flop.
On the Darker side
- Man down - One of our guys while assisting a customer on the side of the highway was hit by a passing motorist. He was in critical condition for several weeks. He survived but is unable to return to work.
- Shoe - They say you will always have that one call that sticks with you, for me I think it would be this one. - We arrived to a massive accident. these cars were so mangled they were virtually unrecognizable. Twisted medal, shattered glass are all too common in our line of work, its also not uncommon to come across blood stained windshields and interior....but this one particular scene as we were pulling the wreckage apart and removing the vehicles I was walking around the one car, or what was left of it, and I kicked something, when I looked down I realized it was a shoe...not that surprising...until I looked closer and realized there was still a foot in the shoe. That's when it really hits you, in a matter of seconds someone's live had been forever altered that night, the owner of that shoe no longer has a foot attached and that is probably the least of their worries...idk if that person survived or not, but it just really stuck with me. These aren't just mangled pieces of metal, there were people inside.
- stuffed animal - another one that will hit you hard is having to load up a vehicle onto your flatbed that is totaled and see little kids things scattered about.
...that's all I can think of at the moment.
it's personal
