General Discussion Is this just me being soft

I'm all for a good firehouse prank. Don't get me wrong. It's what makes this job great. But isn't it sort of a unwritten rule to not fuck with other people's turnouts. Couple guys on the shift before us decided it would be a great idea for them to fuck with us and saan wrap our lockers before we got there. Our gear is grouped by shifts. And of course before we even get settled in and our gear on the trucks we get a call. Then go to find our lockers saran wrapped. Dick move or not from them?

I would be surprised if they didn't get written up for this. They delayed a response.

Rules of pranks are.

  1. Never fuck with a mans sleep

  2. Never fuck with someone's meal

  3. Never fuck with someones personal items ( gear , car , wallet etc)

  4. Never fuck with someone's family

Good rules but read the book Hazing FD and you will understand these rules are not followed.

I got hazed and did enough while I was in the navy. If someone is fucking around especially involving my family I would have no issue telling the highest person and making it public to everyone in the department. Even my worse co workers I hated I refused to ever mention their family.

I agree. Coming from the Navy you get it. Not right but happens. I agree never mention family.
