Nah, truckers and cops are nice. I don't know about assholes, but the biggest egos I've seen are surprisingly in Special Ed. teachers. I have over and over again seen a high need to control and an inabilty to accept any questioning of their actions or decisions. For all I know, maybe they get that way from doing the job they do, and maybe they couldn't do it if they didn't have those characteritics. But I sometimes supect that a certain personality is attracted to that profession, and maybe it' a personality which needs to feel superior to those around them.

I believe lawyers and telemarketers have my vote to be the worlds biggest assholes.

Along with these two are sales people.

Buttercup · Monkey Proof is Beautiful yet hideous

Yes, lawyers (of course, if I needed a lawyer I would want the biggest asshole lawyer I could find). Also, surgeons and stockbrokers.

I think jeffery skilling is prolly one of the BIGGEST assholes there are tho.(talk about egoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo)

SB · ohh, canada

Lawyers and Collection agents!

I'm a cop, and there are a assholes, but they are really few and far between. 99% of people will never ever meet a cop unless they are a victim of a crime, and then they are happy to see us. Of the last 1%, half hate us, and half respect us, but they are never happy to see us.

No, I haven't. Have you heard of David Burke? You would think he is an asshole, and you would be right.

He's awesome! I have to admit that I do enjoy telling people to "fuck off" on occasion, but he has made it into an art form!!! I've watched his Kitchen Nightmares - too fricken funny.

COPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would have to say right now, Retail Management is at the top of my list. Read the shoe thread,you'll see why. But past experiances? Ask me in a year, and I bet i say attorneys.
There are some asshole Cops out there, though. And they can be extreme assholes sometimes, cause they ARE the law. I have met a few that are pretty fuckin cool,also. But that is a profession like everything else, you get a few that power trip.

But how 'bout them firemen!!!!!

I never would have said this till I thought about it. I had a kickass job and was fired some little punk that didn't know what fucking bisque was. I have never felt so degraded in my life. Nice to say that the company could not keep that piece of shit roach pit running. I was kinda pissed cause them being stupid, was why I got paid so much

Other than that I can think of a couple. I just think people power trip in all professions. It is just really related to the issues in your life, and who you deal with the most.

This makes sense to me and it ties in with the above.

Bullied kids. To be accepted. Just one example.

With some I think it's a power trip and others just a bad day.

I also think for some it's more like a birth defect

I will remember that when I have you cuffed and stuffed next time

SB · ohh, canada

How about a personal "power trip" experience you've had with a cop?

Please, lets hear a couple and talk about them.

I know very very few power tripping cops, but maybe that's just a Canadian thing. Though, even up here people bitch and whine about the police constantly.

Though, they take no accountability for their actions, and how THEY turned the incident in a negative police/public contact.

My only public companint to date has been from a freak that I bent over backwards to help, and they I should have arrested!!

Unfortunately, time constraints prevent us from providing someone with a full legal lesson on our authority to give them a ticket or enter their residence, so it comes arcoss as a power trip. Does that mean that we were power tripping? No.

Just to clarify for everyone else, I was referring to special ed teachers. But I see what you're saying about all professions.

KatScratch · Bad kitty....in the best possible way

I have seen assholes everywhere, so I can't say one is worse than any other because they all suck respectively!

As far as cops on power trips....been there, seen that! Example: I speed, who doesn't?! I got caught, big whoop....I pulled over, put the car in park and found my DL and proof of insurance card ( I know the drill). Deputy dickhead gets on his little PA and asks me to please remain still in the vehicle and put my hands on the steering wheel???? Even though I thought he was a tad over the top, I did as he asked. I watched him approach my car, he had his little clipboard in one hand and the other on his gun! Right them I knew, this was not going to be good! Now keep in mind, I live outside of any major towns, let alone cities. The crime rate is pretty low and what there is in the way of "crime" is pretty simp shit. Anyway, he strolls up to my window, sets his little clipboard on the roof of my car so he can keep that one hand near his gun while he removes his sun glasses....he looks down at me and informs me that I was speeding and that is a violation of the law! (DAH!!!!!) He then tells me to give him my DL & proof of insurance....SLOWLY, and then place my hands back on the steering wheel? As he takes my DL, he comments that it is a new DL, is there a reason for that? I lost it at this point and said, "Well yes, the old one expired 2 days ago on my birthday." He snaps at me don't think there will be any special treatment because it was your birthday young lady! WTF?????? He wrote his little ticket, gave me the little these are your rights speech and told me to keep my hands on the steering wheel until he was back in his car and then I could proceed down the road...... He was a 6 foot ego/dildo if I've ever seen one!

I was soooooo glad to hear when he transferred to a different county!

Yeah, I was kinda wondering. I've been felt up a lot of times at the police academy, but with the backs of hands only (which doesn't help when they for some reason tell you to lean over, and your boobs are falling all over their hands). The first time I was kind of shocked because nobody told me about that part. I actually thought the searches would be more limited when the cadets were male. Boy, was I wrong. I didn't even know males were allowed to search females.
