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.

Guys think their shit don't stink

Just because you're in a major city you're somebody

That battered wife syndrome where you got abused and fucked up the ass by the fire service and now you do that shit to candidates and the excuse is "that's how it is"

How everybody thinks their gods gift to the fire service
