1. If they are even
within 20 minutes of the station, they will always leave you to go on a call.
5. You’ll have to accept
that when he has to do hall rental cleanup, you're going with to help.
You fold the chairs and
he stacks them. And Im talking at like 12 a.m.,1 a.m.
6. When you come around the
firehouse, there will be jokes made and they'll mess with him about you or even
you about him.
Honestly, it's a giant
bromance going on and they prey on this kind of stuff.
7. At first, you won't really have a
name to the fire guys. Until you're around long enough.
You'll just be
Boyfriend's name's girlfriend.
8. The fire pager goes where he goes.
Next to the bed, in the
car, next to your bed, your living room, EVERYWHERE. And even if it's not the
real pager, it's the dog app that I can never remember the name of so dog app
it is. (Say that really fast to get the full effect).
9. They will probably wear their
station shirt/apparel at least 4-5 days a week.
AT LEAST.
10. If you've got a good
one, you're always put first. The list will always go "You, the firehouse,
me, everyone else."
But secretly they always
want to put the firehouse first.
11. You will learn and know more
stations, trucks, members, and chiefs than you will ever want to admit.
Unbelievably true.
12. When you're driving and you see a
fire station, you'll have to look at it.
If its an amazing
building, you'll have to remember the name. And then you'll have to tell him
about it. And then you've just proved number 11 correct. Add it to your list.
13. Never make plans while he's on a
call. You can never know when he'll be back.
Even if the calls are
short, they could stay at least another hour washing the trucks and being boys,
of course.
14. In case you didn't understand the
severity of the first one, if you are on the phone and you hear the pager go
off in the background, just tell him you love him and hang up.
Because if you don't, he
will. "Got a call, Love you, bye." Mid-sentence is always what you
want to hear.
15. You'll never want to
watch "Ladder 49" again.
You will cry like a baby
and then want to make him quit.
16. Outside of the stations, fireman
tend to forget that fire isn't a toy and it's pretty damn hot.
*Playing with the lighter
fluid or burning things on the stove* "No it's alright, I'm a
firefighter."
17. You will start your own station
shirt collection.
From NYFD memorial
shirts, a station from where you're vacationing even acquired old shirts of
his, you will have started your own pile of station shirts.
18. You can't get angry or upset when
he is unavailable because he's going to go to the firehouse for the fifth time
that week, or if there's another fire prevention thing to do.
You can't be mad because
he's doing what he loves, also because a man in a uniform isn't too shabby.
There are a lot more
things to know before dating a fireman, but the rest you'll just have to learn
along the way.
