Think before you act

The people this is directed at know who they are.
During my 24 hour shifts I may clean up your chemical spills that are incompatible with life, save your pets from burning buildings, help bring your new pride and joy into the world and/or bring your loved ones back from the brink of death. I get berated, punched, spit on and demoralized while trying to perform my job. I've had gunfire flying overhead while trying to get a patient into my rig to provide them the help they need. Through all this, I haven't flinched or thought twice about the job in front of me.
You sit in a college dorm, draw dog dicks / wear an animal costume, and talk about how big of an awesome badass you are. Take a minute and use your brain before you start flapping your jaws. Your shit doesn't smell like roses. Do some good for the world, then we'll talk. Till then, I'm not going to bother wasting my time on you again.
