Inflated Self-ImportanceAmorous Badger asks: Tell us tales of people who have a high opinion of themselves. Jumped-up officials, the mad old bloke who runs the Neighbourhood Watch like it's a military operation, Colonel Blimps, pompous bastards and people stuck up their own arse.

Female senior officersI have had both good and bad experiences with female sergeants, inspectors etc but the one species I try to avoid at all costs is the female communications supervisor. Most of them seem to suffer from permanent PMS. They don't realize that their role is to support the officer on the road, not order him/her around. And God forbid you should ask them to do something - you would think that a highly indecent suggestion was made. To be fair they aren't all like that, but too many are. Maybe it is the result of having to work at a high stress job in a mostly female environment. By the way, my patrol sergeant is female and is one of the best supervisors I have ever had the pleasure to work for.

Haha I hear that about the comms lot, but have no personal experience of them. We have a woman in our front office who is inexplicably rude - heaven knows how she keeps a customer service role.
Sergeants I find are not as effected by the phenomena. Seems to be the Inspectors and above. Hey ho, perhaps I have been unlucky :)
