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?

Nahh, this prank is stupid on their part. They can't leave until you get your stuff out IMO. Then, when the chief asks why they (the pranking shift) wants OT because they had to wait while you wrapped their stupidity-it falls back on them. It's a dumb inconvenience. They didn't damage your stuff, but they damaged their reputation lol.
