I should note that I'd rather be there because I have another 10.5 hours sitting in front of telemetry..... soooooooo booring!!!!!! I'd much rather be on a rig or doing a standby overnight

Rookie EMT here... backing up the ambulance, and my forearm tapped the horn setting off the sirens......made for a funny moment.

I cannot even begin to recall the number of times I have accidentally hit the horn button on the floor of both the box or the engine, what idiot thought it was a good idea to put it on the floor next to the pedals for the driver?

I actually just did this a few weeks ago. It was not my normal rig so I had no clue it was even down there. We were parked in front of the mental health facility and I put my foot right there (who puts it on the floor where we put our left foot). It took me like 10 seconds and my partner yelling at me to move my foot to realize what was going on. All the nurses and staff came running out to see what was going on. Let's just say every time I bring a patient into their facility, they ask me if I'm going to scare all of them again =)

Indio and every freaking inch of the 15/215 that I drove on today. Got a sweet transfer from Sharp Memorial up to a rehab center in San Bernadino that went from 1300 until about 2145. Finally home

Oh this is fun to do. Not so much fun when it's the significant other that jumps though.

My last personal vehicle had an on board air setup with a 3 trumpet air horn behind the front bumper. "accidentally" hitting the horn was so much fun.

My partner pulled the old, "hey go in front of the rig and make sure the blinkers work" trick and then promply used the air horn... A*s
 
Just got into a "friendly" verbal altercation with our acting officer (this guy is a known troll fresh out of EMS, but is certain he knows everything and lets you know it every chance he gets) about what's appropriate for prehospital IVs. Apparently you ALWAYS get the BIGGEST IV possible no matter the age or the current problem, and absolutely NEVER "waste" an AC by putting a 20 in it.

I love shutting idiots up :D
 
Aaah I am with the religious nut. "still atheist?" Aaaaargh.
