I work for a municipality on the IT staff. One of the departments our group supports is the local police department. Previous to this, I did IT contract work for a number of different corporations. So I had to go through the various sexual harassment training and what not. Fast forward to my first week on the job at the municipality. One of the detectives, who happened to be a woman, called saying that her mouse needed cleaning. She had one of the MS Trackball mice...the kind with the big red ball on top. Well, the sensors on the bottom of the ball socket would get all full of dirt and needed cleaning from time to time. So I pack up some q-tips and canned air and head to her desk. When I arrive, she says, "You're new aren't you?" I said, "Yes." She said, "Well it's nice to meet you. Are you here to clean my mouse? Or as the guys down here (the other male detectives) would say, 'Are you here to clean my balls?'"
And that was my introduction to working with Police Officers.
