Sometimes, when dealing with the insane, one should just recognize that the discussion is unproductive, and move on.
I agree.
I guess it irritates me a bit simply because when I was going to school I worked part time as a CSR for a utility company. I worked with fraudulant and past due accounts. I got calls hourly from people who would call me everything from a “b****” to a whore because they didn’t pay their electric bill. If we hung up on customers more than 2 times ever, we were fired. Instantly. No notice, just your papers.
Yet here’s a cop, making way more than I did, whose job it is to protect and serve the community and he hangs up on a frantic girl who is watching her dad potentially die.
