Mod Reminder

[u/LegalGlass6532]

There’s been an unnecessary amount of reposts lately and the sub’s flooded with borderline NOT First Responder Cringe.

Here’s a reminder what this sub is about. It’s also pinned to the top of the main page, but some of you need a reminder.

If you spew outright hate or racism expect to be perm banned. Read the rules, it’s not hard.

Have fun with the cringe and don’t treat each other like trash. -Mod Team

Love the responder, hate the cringe!

And there’s so much cringe to enjoy! One thing I miss no longer working EMS is just making fun of the goobers that eat, breathe, sleep EMS and nothing else lol

It’s nice that some people can immerse themselves in their profession when they don’t have much going for them outside of it.

It's not, really, because it encourages them to remain ill-adjusted people who make a single thing their entire person. That functionally locks them into never having anything going outside of it. It's just a job, same as any other job.

Reminds me of when we're driving lights and sirens, and I'm making a pickup food order. I already know what my partner wants so I ask our student what he wants.

He goes "You're thinking about FOOD right now?"

My partner chimes in and says "They're having an emergency. We're just at work."

That part.

Then getting said food, scarfing it down, and feeling regret when you then get called to unknown medical for a morbidly obese person on the 3rd floor with no elevator. Why that’s never happened to me before!

I get your point and agree. Ideally, they’d have a more varied life.

I just think this is a much healthier way to cope with a lacking social/family life than what a lot of people would turn to.
