Hey Pandora... easy tiger! I am always well behaved!
As has been said it's all tongue in cheek (or willies in tea!). Last thing I want to do with my best friend is stick him in a cup full of boiling liquid
Making jokes and havin a laugh with the drivers livens up both our lives and as you can see by some of the posts here we certainly do have a laugh.
Yeah...you've got the odd prat who thinks your there to serve bow and scrape but I sit on my jump seat waiting for the day when they fall on their own stripes (see: Captain who did the RTO outta Pisa). I certainly wouldn't stoop so low as to actually do anything, nor have I ever seen anyone do anything either. In this job I've come across a lot of bravdo "I'm gonna say this!" or " I'm gonna do that...".
Many people talk the talk....but not many walk the walk
