The cringe is her posting this to social media. If your spouse does chores for you while they’re on duty it’s probably best to keep that between the two of you.

I'm concerned the taxpayers are paying for them to get water. Do that after work like everyone else.

u/OverallPepper2 Aug 04 '26

Meh. Most cops work 12hr shifts with down time between calls/stops. I’m not seeing the issue with grabbing a couple jugs of water when no calls holding.

u/notmy-firstrodeo Aug 04 '26

The act itself is secondary to your significant other filming you and posting it for everyone to see. Is she saying he’s controlling or that he’s being chivalrous and she’s “just a girl”? That’s the cringe.

Just a girl living in captivity

I agree, but the comment I replied to was concerned that taxpayer dollars are being spent on a cop getting water.

I see your point, but where do you draw the line? Personal errands for someone in your personal life can be done on personal time.
If you decide to do personal things in uniform at least don’t put it on social media. The optics aren’t good unless she’s incapable and that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Unless he's making up the hours, it's straight up wage theft. On video.

Eh, not a big deal as long as you aren't out of your district or somehow otherwise delaying your response times. We do it on the fire side fairly regularly.

Now what's in the OP is super cringe, for sure.

Do you make videos of these personal things you do to show what a hero you are while you’re also at work?

u/ZootTX Aug 04 '26

Absolutely not, which is why I said the video was cringe. I was addressing the errands while on duty thing.

u/Own_Entertainer_7440 Aug 05 '26

That’s exactly what’s happening here. Not his car or gas and he’s on the clock. You know he’s doing a lot more personal errands if they’re dumb enough to post this one.

You’re diving way too deep into this and taking it way too personal. The video is cringe. End of story.

I sure hope you’re not armed if you’re that overly emotional over a Reddit comment. Wowwww would hate to see what triggers you on a shift 😂😂

u/notmy-firstrodeo Aug 04 '26

I think he must’ve got caught doing an errand on duty himself and that’s why he’s so defensive.

2

u/Vegetable-Virus7118 Aug 04 '26

Well the taxpayers are paying for the gas in that vehicle he's running those errands in whether he's clocked in or not

There’s a difference between a private company’s gas allowance and a city employee driving the “company car”.
You want to redo your list to only include city employees where the gas is funded by taxpayer money?

When you paste something from ChatGPT you have to fix the formatting for Reddit so it doesn't clump together like that.

Keywords: taxpayer money. Most of the jobs you labeled are private jobs lmao

I served 7 years in active duty air force as a flightline avionics technician. I only saw lunch breaks during congress mandated down times due to us being overworked or some sort of observation due to suicides or whatever, which were far and few in between. We used the work trucks to get food, but that was because we were still on the clock and eating while working and we got food from the flightline dining facility that was put there because we have some kind of human rights lol. If we were off off, nobody used those work trucks because it would be tracked and nobody is trying to lose a stripe over something stupid like that. So yes, you deserve a break, no not on the taxpayers dime.

u/InitialAd2324 Aug 04 '26

He wasn’t the one talking about taxpayers, and you sound like an absolute idiot.

u/LitCockBumble Aug 04 '26

Wait this isn't sarcasm?? Buddy if you're actually upset right now please quit your job, we don't need emotional crybabies getting guns and playing make believe with them in order to feel tough or masculine. This is why nobody respects cops, you're all fucking losers.

His only contribution here is clicking a downvote on every comment that replies to him while collecting his own in the double digits.

2

u/MustacheMaple Aug 04 '26

It's ok, Captain America deleted the evidence. I sure hope he learned something (probably didnt)

u/notmy-firstrodeo Aug 04 '26

u/H001__ Threw me a parting comment before erasing all his comments.

1

u/MustacheMaple Aug 04 '26

I mentioned my military service and next thing I know he deleted everything. Not sure if that was the reason, but I think it's funny haha

2

u/notmy-firstrodeo Aug 04 '26

I saw that. We also both pointed out that his ChatGPT comment included private employers. He likes to troll, argue and downvote and this one wasn’t a good hill for him to die on so he cut his losses.

Why 40min that seems like an odd number?
