"I'll tell you what the problem is. The chief is an idiot, the fat bastards in the station don't know CPR from CPWHO, minorities are running city hall and the streets are full of crackheads."

"And these assholes couldn't dispatch a dumptruck to a pile of shit. Rescue 1 to Fire alarm, go ahead."
"Rescue 1, you have an open mic."
"Roger. Disregard the last message."

One of the most memorable open mic nights we had involved a driver alone in his engine (or so he thought) singing badly to himself. Of course, much ragging followed.
Is it wrong that I laughed at that? Lesson for the future – don't say anything in private that you'd be too scared to say out loud!!
The real lesson is pay attention to your microphone!
Darn portables get me every time!
If they are those Motorolas with the huge PTT button on them, I key mine accidentally several times a shift. Usually, the wait tone gets my attention and I unkey. Usually.
Same ones, and i too usually catch myself!
Sometimes the truth hurts.

As a friend of mine says, it only hurts who it's about.
Fire Alarm to Rescue 1, Would you kindly call the "Chiefs" office when you get back to quarters…….
Oh Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Good thing the chief isn't listening at 0400!
As it happens by "accident" to those in the field it also happens to those of us sitting behind the keyboard….. <G>
I've been on the recieving end of a few of the reverse open mic rants! Thanks Chris.
Mike, been there done that and bought the t-shirt. Know just how you feel. And of course I laughed as well.
One thing about you, Michael: you're thorough. EV-eryone got taken out …
Whether it is the hand on the radio or the foot on the console pedal…………Whoops……couple of days off.
Ha, loved Monique's comment. It happens….I still have a story I need to tell you sometime, Michael. It was hilarious.
This iontrduces a pleasingly rational point of view.
