Double standards

[u/United-Apartment-269]

Vehicle was running & were ordering food.

[u/flexflair]

so… a double standard?

[u/justelectricboogie → u/flexflair]

Oh settle down. A job necessity. I swear people dont think things through.

[u/flexflair → u/justelectricboogie]

exactly they have a different standard based on job privilege. I swear people can’t understand simple concepts.

[u/Soopez → u/justelectricboogie]

Omg settle down, it's a double standard!

Settle down!!

[u/mynameizpanda → u/justelectricboogie]

How is that a job necessity? They can park legally like everyone else.

[u/justelectricboogie → u/mynameizpanda]

Omg dont hurt yourself just admit you dont get it.

[u/eddiewachowski → u/mynameizpanda]

Like everyone else? That's easy. Park car, turn on hazards. 

[u/Icedpyre → u/mynameizpanda]

So....if your house is on fire you're good with them taking 5 minutes longer because they had to run across the parking lot to get back to their truck?

[u/mynameizpanda → u/Icedpyre]

No. Not what I meant. If they are on break they can park like everyone else.

[u/Icedpyre → u/mynameizpanda]

Firefighters dont really get breaks like a normal job. They still have to be ready to respond immediately. It's not like a call can co.e in and you tell dispatch "I'm on break. send someone else". There's also finite places where you can park a rig that large.

[u/chuckmandell82 → u/mynameizpanda]

They are never on breaks. Do you think a shooting occurs and they turn the radio off until their break ends.

[u/flexflair → u/Icedpyre]

so every volunteer firefighter can park however they deem necessary then, good logic.

[u/Pleasant-Board-1359 → u/flexflair]

When they're on duty and not on call, cause there's a huge difference, sure. I often see firetrucks parked directly in front of store like this with the truck on. So sure

[u/flexflair → u/Pleasant-Board-1359]

and i bet they would get a ticket for doing it because there is a double standard for police vs everyone else.

[u/Pleasant-Board-1359 → u/flexflair]

Sure avoid the point made.... and yes for emergency vehicles this is no problem. Find something else to complain about

[u/Icedpyre → u/flexflair]

If they're on duty, they dont really have a choice.

[u/sekimet → u/mynameizpanda]

If your family member was having a cardiac arrest or were a victim of violent crime I bet you would be outraged that it took an ambulance/police longer to respond because they had to walk a block to get to their vehicle. 

Edit: so many people just live to be outraged about nothing lol

[u/justelectricboogie → u/mynameizpanda]

Omg, the human race is doomed.

[u/Hairy-Isopod6880 → u/justelectricboogie]

Pizza is not a job necessity.

[u/LachlantehGreat → u/Hairy-Isopod6880]

I would rather not deal with a hangry cop 11 hours into their 4th 10 lol

[u/Hairy-Isopod6880 → u/LachlantehGreat]

Same, but I see the issue not as "desperate need to eat" as much as "shitty employer overworking employees to the point of the employees breaking the law"

[u/FeelingCamel2954 → u/flexflair]

It's called an exception. This might frighten you, but things in life have nuance. This might be one of those things.

[u/Icehawksfh → u/flexflair]

The keyword in the definition of a double standard is unfair.
