    No harm in having the watch officer, or whatever the dude at front desk is called, knowing how to handle public interaction in a professional manner.
    I don't see why such basic skills can't be taught to all pleece when they go through the training academy??

    $900 a head for such learning is ridiculous, and I'm not too chuffed about helping pay for it!

    Boss thinks it may help me:
    "Eyes giving you trouble sir?

    "No, why?"

    "Couldn't see a marked car from 50 metres on staright road in a 50 area on a sunny day, - or your speed either"

    "You...."

    But in truth the guy did not deserve the term 'sir'.


    And it wasn't Lou.

    Not sure if it was Kiwi Host training but a smart arse HP cop gave me a ticket a few years back when I was towing the trailer when the limit was still 80 and as he handed it to me he said "aren't you going to say thank you?" - like hell I would thank him for something I didn't want - WTF!!
    Cheers

    I never used 'Sir', always 'driver'. Tone and inflexion achieved the point.

    This knob never deserved the term 'driver' either.

    Too busy looking to see how many mates were watching him fang it down the road (brrrrm-tissh,-brrrrrrm-tissh) to notice a marked cop car.

    How would he notice anything less on the road???
    Motorbike, kid crossing road etc.

    Did you use the "I see" phrase when someone was giving you a bullshit excuse too? Seems like a polite way of saying "What a load of f&%ken bollocks" or was it more a case of "Really, well I'm sorry but I just don't give a f$#k"?

    Yeah, "I see" was a goodie. Amazing how two words could wind some people up.
    I NEVER used, "May I have your drivers licence for inspection please".
    You may as well have said "I'm 5 minutes out of training and don't know my arse from my elbow".

    'Right' always does it for me (in a non-offical role you understand).
    "If life gives you a shit sandwich..." someone please complete this expression

    From another perspective; when you hear them start off with "I was just...."

    you mentally go "Uh-ha, here goes a good story"

    I know who'll be laughing. Make sure you've got your newest uniform on, and your boots are freshly polished.
    You're probably too grizzled to look like a newbie though.
