Timmah!

Love losing/finding myself there.

Heynow.

If a pet/buddy is securely attached & the owner/buddy is busy, they get attention when they can; sitting at the desk or the shitter makes no difference to them. I owe him my undivided attention whenever, leaving him in a box for hours at a time. It's a privilege & obligation.

Your premise of their motive for posting is inaccurate.

Yeah, yeah... which goes back to 'character' as foundational. Even a well-meaning, ignorant person is gonna at least not fuck it up further than an educated fucknugget with unresolved issues. =D

Not just LEO's, any public service field, where interacting with the public is a central component of the job. Nursing, gas stations, White Castle... seeing people for what they are & handling the situation to make it as sm00th an interpersonal interaction for all involved, while not taking it personally, is integral, crucial. For yourself & whoever else. Reading a person or persons & using benign manipulation, mirroring, empathy... just as part of the 'job'. Psychology courses, maintaining detachment... yadda yadda...

Character would be paramount, imho. Having been in customer service of varying degrees- with & without degrees - not taking what some random stranger says personally is a requisite for equanimity & sanity. Some places do great; others need to filter for temperament.

Gonna roll it into a blunt; just softening it a bit.

Realized I was out of tp whilst p00pin; only thing in reach was some glossy stock. You can imagine...opted for a sock. It was either that or the cat.

It's shitchute, the nexus of legitimacy & source of countless Pulitzers. How's that ribeye steak-hand investigation skaking out? Oh, that's the other site of auspiciousness, huzlers or something.

Encountered more today, directly across the street:

Yeah, it means also that over here, t00.

As I said in the OP, they come hang out in the neighborhoods in & around Fort Knox when hunting season approaches. He knows he's safe, as evidenced by my having to holler @ him after already not eliciting a response with a loud kissing noise.

Crossed paths with him this evening while on a delivery run. Absolutely beautiful. The deer here, on Fort Knox, know when hunting season approaches & they'll move to the safety of the cantonment area, grazing in back yards & on the golf courses. They will even wait for traffic to pass before crossing the street, watching you pass mere feet away with a mildly-interested gaze. That I had to holler at old boy to get his attention shows their comfortable complacency. I remember riding my bike in this neighborhood some 43 years ago, crossing paths with groups of deer as I rode on the sidewalk, stopping mere feet away from them as they stood on the grass, looking back.

If I wasn't as hungry, mighta hit it.

Usually.

Culinary conquest.

@TBB How shall this be prepared. I can already see some Red Eye gravy in the near future. Recipe suggestions are welcome. Also, pigs like pig, too. It's all good in the hood.

YUM-YUMMY!

Thanks a lot! Now, I'm not only hungry; but you scared the shit outta me & prolly my neighbors because I had to turn the volume up to 87 to understand what you were saying, because it sounds like you're talking from an adjacent room & I forgot to turn the volume back down before another You Tube video played.
