You know you're a cop when....

[Cidp24]

....your wife knows to go to a table that places your back to a wall with a view of the door when you go out to eat.

...on night shift, the world is your bathroom.

(Any others?)

that one couldnt be more true

[CTR man]

And here I thought this was another posting of "You know your a cop when you can taste them."

[Pudge]

When your wife and family know by a certain look that they need to keep walking when someone comes up to talk to you in the store.

[Cidp24]

when you have held a discussion about where to eat lunch while waiting on the coroner to finish up.

If someone says uh oh the cops are here for so and so when you show up you feel an unbelievable urge to head shoot the person saying it.

When someone asks, "What's the worst that could happen?" you make their eyes get really big with your answer.



Who is that knocking at the door? Well I'll be damned if it isn't the cynic in me.

Or they know to hit the floor board of the car and hold their ears.

Duck and cover.

How about that you seriously want to deck the next person that says "I didn't do it." when you walk into a room?

Or the next person that introduces you by your profession when you are in a mixed crowd and off duty?

[Pudge]

When your neighbors pass by you at 8:30 am on their way to work, and you're enjoying beer number 3 while you're on the tractor or unloading mulch from your truck.

Nope. If I don't know them I calmly say let me see your ID and we'll find out if you did it. When they try to laugh it off I say no really I need some ID.

My friends know better. Some acquaintances are still being broken in by my friends and I. However, I often introduce my pharmacist cousin as a drug dealer.

Along the same lines as Pudge (and a true story):
You and your night crew shift mates get kicked out of one of the guys house by his angry wife when she returns home from work to pick up a forgotten item one morning and finds you and the guys watching cartoons and drinking beer.

That'd be the BEST!

My wife would just laugh and tell us to clean up after ourselves.

Yup. She walked in the door, smiled, said hi to everybody and went to the bedroom. A minute later she sweetly called out "Scott, can you come back here just a second?" He went to the bedroom and came back out about 2 min later looking like a whipped puppy. "Y'all have to leave now." We did.

Wow, that was 1988.

Your mom knows to get a table in the back of the restaurant so you can see both doors and have your back to the wall. The first time I did that she looked at me puzzled and I said I'll explain to you later. When I did explain it to her, she thought I was nuts. But now she just goes along with the program and doesn't complain.

When you run through the fast food place and realize that most of the employees are people you have arrested in the past. You then have second thoughts about eating any food they prepared....

[Buttercup]

Nope. If I don't know them I calmly say let me see your ID and we'll find out if you did it. When they try to laugh it off I say no really I need some ID.

That is awesome!

These are great!

Also because you have seen what the inside of their houses look like and know that personal hygiene isn't high on their priority list.

You know you're a cop (to long) when....

When your kid is sizing up the same scumbag you are.
