Someone Asks: “What Are Facts About Your Job That The General Public Has No Idea About?” And 30 Folks Online Deliver

Insider information is a great thing, especially in today's world. From insiders, we learn everything we need and don't need to know. From Charlie D'Amelio's personal breaking news to stock tickers, from the Lakers locker room to the White House.

In addition to established insiders who have made gossip their job and main source of income, there are also other types of insiders. These are just people who not only do their job, they are well versed in it - but at the same time, they know something about it that an ordinary person could hardly guess.

And, to be honest, we would hardly have thought of it, if not for this thread in the AskReddit community, whose topic starter asked both a simple and non-standard question: "What are the facts about your job that general public has no idea about?" To date, the thread has over 11.6K upvotes and almost 8.5K comments, where people willingly reveal all the light and dark sides of their work.

Bored Panda collected for you the most interesting, surprising and unusual revelations from representatives of various professions. Some, perhaps, you already knew well, and some will probably shock you. Either way, feel free to scroll to the very end of the post not to miss something really interesting. And now, a little inside info from our work - more than anything in this life, we love your upvotes and comments!

And 30 Folks Online Deliver That as a trucker, that space I left in front of me is so I don’t kill anybody, NOT your personal invitation to jump in front of my bumper because you forgot your exit or whatever reason. So many want to get in front of us and slow down and park in front my bumper.

YSK: Don’t believe the billboards those ambulance chasing lawyers put up about big truck accidents mean big bucks. Only survivors get money, most likely not you. If you do survive, more than likely your quality of life is going to be miserable.

Also YSK: these trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds, 34,000 pounds empty and around 20,000 pounds without the trailer. How does that compare to your SUV or even your lifted pickup. Do us all a favor and give us some space, leave us room so that you can live and go home to your family

One final thought, NEVER assume the other driver sees you.

Wow! Thanks for all the upvotes. Glad you found it helpful.

Someone Asks: "What Are Facts About Your Job That The General Public Has No Idea About?" And 30 Folks Online Deliver Public defender.

I don’t do this because it’s the only job I could get. I do it because I’m passionately invested in making sure poor people have access to the courts and because without us, there would be absolutely nothing between them and the awesome power of the government. The vast majority of us are there for the same reason.

The perception that we’re not as good as private attorneys is just wrong. In fact, most PDs have done many more trials than privates because we have many more clients. The difference is that we can’t pick and choose our clients as private attorneys can. We have to work with what we get so our win/loss ratio isn’t as impressive as theirs. Ask a private defense attorney what they think of public defenders- most will tell you that some of the best attorneys they’ve known are PDs.

While we can’t take the time to hold your hand and take every one of your calls, we actually do care about you and your case. I work nights. I work weekends. In fact, every weekend I’m at the jail, seeing my guys, because I don’t have time during the week.

We are excellent attorneys who chose public service.

Public defenders are the unsung heroes of the American criminal justice system. The system supposedly provides fair trials, but it falls to PDs to keep some semblance of fairness actually in the courtroom. If nothing else, PDs require DAs to do their jobs, rather than railroading one of the 'usual suspects'.

I trained for (and earned) FCC 2nd (Technician) and 1st (Engineer) broadcast licenses. Technician training covered how to deal with balky circuits in a radio/TV device. Step 1: hit it. Step 2: hit it again. Most problems see dust on contacts, or loose components. Thus, step 3: hit it yet again. If that doesn't work, drag out the test gear. Earn one's pay.

Someone Asks: "What Are Facts About Your Job That The General Public Has No Idea About?" And 30 Folks Online Deliver When you call 911, please say your address before anything else. It doesn’t matter if someone is actively dying, say your address first. (I’m from a rural area so this might just be a problem where I’m from) but if you’re calling on a cell phone sometimes it can ping in a completely different spot then you are. If you call and don’t say where you are and we get disconnected, I might not have any clue where to send rescue/police/fire and therefore I cannot help you. Say your address (if you don’t know then please give like a cross street or notable location) first, then preferably your name, THEN tell me what’s going on.

A lot of people assume that we automatically have a precise location where they’re at, and the systems can be pretty accurate but you can’t always rely on them. If you say the address and we get disconnected I can at least send someone to the area to figure out what needs to be done.

If you are on a cellular telephone, the phone can be connected with the 9-1-1 dispatch where you live, so if you`re roaming several hundred kilometres from home, the dispatch will be unable to help you! TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE! (They can transfer your call to a local 9-1-1 dispatch!) Do so even if you are on a landline, because some people have their landline outgoing location data blocked! (In some cases, automatically because of where the phone is - like a Shelter for Abused Persons!)

Someone Asks: "What Are Facts About Your Job That The General Public Has No Idea About?" And 30 Folks Online Deliver I have worked for the US federal government.

Every time Congress waits until the 11th hour to pass a budget or a continuing resolution (a temporary "budget"), the government spends an unknown amount of money, probably millions of dollars, preparing for a government shutdown, whether the shutdown happens or not. If the government actually shuts down, even if only for a few hours, it wastes millions more tax dollars. Taxpayers get no benefit from these expenditures, and the money is simply wasted.

When Congress holds the budget hostage, they're not actually hurting political rivals. They're punishing taxpayers and anyone who relies on government services directly or indirectly for anything.

Edit: One more thought:

If your Representative or Senator engages in this, **vote them out at the next election**, because they're burning your tax dollars to deceive you into supporting their careers. You get nothing, your tax dollars are thrown in the trash, and a bunch of stupid rubes get duped into voting to keep a do-nothing politician in office, earning six figures.

If you ever fall off a ship/ferry at sea and were lucky enough to be spotted - don't try to swim your way to safety. The more you try to swim, the lesser the chances of survival. Just try to keep afloat and conserve energy (and body heat) while the rescue team does what they're supposed to. Unless you are in hypothermic waters, the best bet always is to stay afloat without trying to swim to 'somewhere'.

Lifeguards are NOT babysitters/nannys. Do not drop your small children off at a pool or a beach and leave for hours at a time. They aren't a daycare. Our job is not to look after just your kid. Also we get paid for what we might have to do not what we are actually doing.

Primary school education. The parents are often more trouble than the children and throw bigger tantrums.

This is definitely how things are in the US but not necessarily how they are elsewhere..

I'm a train driver, do not kiss someone through the window. We hit animals quite often and stuff can splash surprisingly far back along the train. Then there's the myth that som male train drivers relieves themselves through am open door even when the train is in motion. Impossible with most modern trains/locomotives but still.. And yes, trains do get washed but no ones going to cancel a train because of animal blood, we're not exactly drowning in working trains.

Not related. Is anyone experiencing bogus web pages or Mcafee notices randomly popping up? This is the only site I experience these. It's darn annoying.
