Stupid questions you hear in prison

jmatthews75

For those of you out there that don't work in the prison, this is a good way for you to see just how stupid some people are. If you are the type of person that is offended by this as a loved one may be in jail, maybe you should have been more concerened and tried to help them before they went to jail than you are now about me making fun of the stupid questions they ask...

CO, ie Corrections Officer, they call us CO....

CO, is it going to rain today? They have TV's in the unit and watch the news every morning, I am in an office with no tv... so how would I know if it is going to rain.
CO... Whats for lunch today? They have menu's posted for their food, comes out two weeks at a time... So when I say what I might be having for lunch that day, they say oh, thats not what it said on the menu, if they read the menu, why did they ask me?

DannyMussels

Looks like they're testing the waters.

Lmao! Tell me why we're not friend's yet!!!

jmatthews75

No, they know not to test the waters, Jason's universal answer for every question asked is NO. Quite simple, How great is this job when no matter what they ask, you can just say NO.

My fav's are " Hey Boss, what time is gym / dinner / yard?"
I usually ask them right back....Your in the know...what time was it yesterday??? After 6 years of going to the same prison, 4 days on 4 days off I never fail to laugh at someone!!

Ok, maybe they aren't all that dumb of questions to the normal person, but when you get asked the same stuff every day by the same people, your ability to not be annoyed over them just goes away...

I work in a residential alternative to detention program with juveniles and it seems they have the same questions! The attitudes and questions can be very irritating

Looks like they are getting ready for future life, the questions are all the same. Great, Job security for me...

LOL yes. Sad but true. The youth I work with are mainly inner city kids, so statistics aren't exactly encouraging, sadly.

I work out in the field so you know what kind of people I get to deal with. Sometimes I wish they had a ticket we could just give for plain stupidity when no laws are broken.

This is a very valid point you have....maybe some lil mini signs?

jmatthews75

I used to have that dream of working in the streets... ok, not that dream there pervs...
I wanted that cop job, then I started here and you can keep the cop stuff. at least here I know where the bad guys are. Out there, no way...

They just sound like normal "making conversation" questions to me. I've been known to ask questions even if I know the answer because I want to know what the other person thinks or want to start a conversation.

But, I can see that being asked the same questions every day would get very old very fast!

jmatthews75

Ok, here is the thing. I really don't care about the inmates enough to even want to converse with them. So if that is what they are looking for, then bark up another tree. Sorry, but I don't wish to spend my time talking to pedophiles. I have no interest in wondering what is wrong in their mind that caused them to do what they did. Speaking as a father, I know that if anything like that happened to someone in my family, they would never make it to jail let alone the trial.

*waves hand timidly* I work in a call center for customer service. There are some people...

Like the TRAINED bank teller who needed me (I study humanities, not math) to explain what "multiples of five" are. "But I just want 74." -.-

jmatthews75

haha...some people just don't get it.

Damn and I thought this was going to be a thread full of:

"Who dropped the soap?"
"Where can I plug in my nightlight?'
"Who does a guy have to bribe to get a drink around here?"
"Can I get a caramel soy nonfat latte, to go?"
"Has anyone seen my toothbrush?'

Way better thread, please create one like this of your own, lady.

jmatthews75

sorry but I don't live in the dream prison that you do. I work in one. so I see the stupid people on a daily basis.

Fatchickslim

um I don't live in a prison although if I did I might have better internet connection! Apologies if you found my humor offensive and I have no doubt your job is frustrating, depressing and down right dangerous, I was simply stating that the title of your post could have been taken differently (a lighter more fluffier way).
