Unfiltered Story #56994

(I work alongside the emergency services and we use the same radio system, although have a different dispatch desk to the emergency response staff. Our radios also automatically sign us on when we switch them on. This morning, our dispatcher clearly hadn’t had enough coffee:)

Me: “To control?”

Control: “Go ahead.”

Me: “Could you dispatch me to please?”

Control: “Certainly, and can you switch your radio on so we can book you on?”

Me: (Confused because I’m speaking to them *using* the radio) Um… It is on!
