Funny/Odd things heard on the scanner

[Osprey1163]

Back in the early 80's I ran with the local volunteer rescue squad. Late one night the sound of "adult activities" starts broadcasting all over the county F&R frequency. You see, back then the county would put a radio in the POV of the Chief & Asst. Chief of each department. Turns out it was OUR chief reliving the days of his youth in his car and keying the mike with some part of his body the whole time. He didn't get fired.....we were all volunteers.....but he never heard the end of it!

Dispatch: The RP said he had a microchip shoved up his nose by his doctor and wants to file a lawsuit.

The officer acknowledged the call with a chuckle.

One that I heard that wasn't funny but very telling of some people. A school bus driver called in reporting that a kid just got hit by a car and needed medical attention and to hurry. Another driver comes on and says to the effect, let her die. These kids do nothing but cause us aggravation anyway.

I'm willing to bet #2 driver didn't finish the shift that day.

I was thinking the samething. Sad a person has to say that on the air and the driver knows more than 1 person is listening.

At the time, this particular school bus operator didn't have ID's on their radios so it was every foul word almost every transmission day after day by the same drivers. So i doubt anything happened to the jerk driver and frankly, they didn't care if they got fired.

Another one from this same company but funny. One female driver broke down and was givng her location. She said she was at such and such and the shop will find me. Some other female comes on... With her fat a.., how can they possibly miss? "Why don't you say it to my face"?
I would but you're ugly and you stink with some other back and forth then some other drivers joining in. Kids get to hear all this too.

Oy, that would merit some in-office counseling in my book. But, I've never worked in a situation like that with people like that. Did however, see MDC1200 ID's enabled when a city rejiggered all frequencies. Sure enough, one day one of the trash trucks was broadcasting the goodtimes radio, making rude comments. My co-worker came on the channel & let him know it was illegal, against muni policy, and that we knew exactly which truck. Shift supervisor came on air and said "Thank you, Radio Shop!!' Yes, one guy got counselled.

You couldn't pay me enough to drive a school bus!

 

[CrabbyMilton]

It would have to be in the 6 figure for me to do it. Hearing all of the crap and bad behavior on those buses thanks to the scanner is enough for me not to do it. Then what goes on in the schools themselves...

I still don’t know why.

 

[N8IAA]

I still don’t know why.

Neither do I. And, why is he yelling so loud. My ears are hurting from his reply.

 

[AJAT]

why is he yelling so loud

Maybe he thinks if he yells loudly we will understand why better? I wish he would just tell us, might actually be a funny story.

This thread is going to the dogs.

For several decades I've been taking the scanner to watch and listen to the air and ground traffic at the observation lot. One time a pilot that just landed joined the taxiway per instructions but then about a minute later rejoined the runway. The ATC very sharply told him to get off the runway.
The pilot apologized but said that he's not familiar with the airport. To which the ATC said to the effect that he can appreciate not being familiar with an airport but you never join an active runway with getting permission first.
