General Discussion Unpopular Opinions In the Fire Service

I am curious what other peoples unpopular opinions of the fire service are? I know there are alot of things we are doing or trying to do to improve the fire service as far as training and wellness, but I also know alot of it is just not that great in my opinion.

Allowing shithead behavior in the station “because they’ve always been that way”. If I cook you dinner you better be picking up your fucking plate or so help me God I’ll stay after my shift ends to make sure it ends up in your bedding, that and pissing on the floor like a poorly trained dog. I get it, I’m Irish too but brother, sit to piss if you’re gonna miss that badly.
