Just because everyone is out to get you doesn't mean you're paraniod...

As part of my job, I got to ride along with some K9 Officers last week patroling the interstate. We pulled one individual over for towing a trailer that hadn't been registered in 12 years.
"Why are you guys always picking on farmers?"

What type of person acts this way??.....

For the most part they are non-officials (and probably coacheslol...
Seriously, I find most officials(at least my friends who are), due to the professional ethics we are taught, are respectful of others in a tense situation where they are put out but see that the one in front of them isnt necessarily to blame...Another side benefit to the craft...

Somewhat OT, but the other day I was walking my dog (he's a small llasa apso) and a cop had just pulled over a woman for speeding. As he was walking back to his patrol car with her license and registration, he nodded at me. I pointed to my dog and asked the officer if he needed any K9 assistance. He smiled. I then said that if that lady was hiding a cheeseburger in her car, my dog could sniff it out. He then laughed and told me that would be a big help.

Now if you would have said a donut, the officer would have immediately deputized your dog!

What "type" of personality?

In the Jenkins system - Type A.
In the D.E.S.A. test - Type Expressive.
In the Hippocrates Greek Terms - Type Sanguine.

I like the D.E.S.A. It uses four types and relates each type to a Charlie Brown character. Dominant (Lucy), Expressive (Snoopy), Solid (Charlie B), Analytical (Linus).

Two people with the same interest in the outcome can watch a game and have a totally different reaction when the official makes a call, a ball doesn't go in the basket, or a player is injured.

So... if an official is Dominant, and a coach is Expressive... we could have a situation!

In my "neck of the woods", everyone has a trailer like that, except Bubba. Bubba's trailer is registered so when the rest of us want to use our trailers, we steal the plates off of Bubba's. We always return them so we know where to get them next time we need them.

Bubba is constantly pissed-off. I will study his human condition a little more and get back to you all on why he is like this.

In my experience, there are two types, the nothings-ever-my-fault type, and the control freak, that have this issue. I think that's pretty much all coaches, and a fair number of officials. Makes for interesting interactions.

What we actually do is throw a little mud over the corner of the tag so you can't see the year.

All well and good, as long as you remember to keep the unregistered trailer off the interstate.

Same thing here. Reminds me of an old (bad) joke:

Q: Do you know why all the men in AR have the same size balls?

A: So they can borrow their buddy's trailer!

Bah, da, bing.
