He\u2019s a detective.<\/li>\n<li>Detective Two: We\u2019ll call him PainInMyAss. He\u2019s also a detective and Smartass\u2019s partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They drive a red-striped Torino that honestly looks more like a parade float. PainInMyAss is usually a good driver but drives half-crazy most of the time.<\/p>\n<p>The problem started when they were chasing some robbery suspects. PainInMyAss was driving, tried to avoid hitting something, and ended up crashing. Both of them went to the hospital for a few days. PainInMyAss was mostly okay, but Smartass pretended to have amnesia. He convinced me and everyone else that he couldn\u2019t remember anything from the incident, his partner Paininmyass, or anybody else.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, Smartass was faking the whole thing to teach PainInMyAss a lesson or something. They tried to pull the wool over my eyes, but I figured it out\u2014thanks to a nurse who let it slip.<\/p>\n<p>Once I got wind of their little stunt, I decided it was time to teach them a lesson. So, I assigned them both to traffic duty. PainInMyAss is furious and says it\u2019s not fair. He claims it was all Smartass\u2019s idea and doesn\u2019t see why he should be punished too. I told him it\u2019s because Smartass is his partner, and they\u2019re in this together.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s some more context: Smartass and PainInMyAss are known for their unconventional methods, but they usually get results. However, this time they crossed a line. The crash caused significant damage to public property and put their own lives at risk. Smartass\u2019s fake amnesia stunt was the last straw for me. It was unprofessional and could have had serious consequences if I hadn\u2019t figured it out in time.<\/p>\n<p>PainInMyAss has been sulking and making a big deal out of it, saying I\u2019m being too harsh. He argues that he wasn\u2019t in on Smartass\u2019s plan and shouldn\u2019t be punished for it. But from my perspective, they\u2019re a team. They need to have each other\u2019s backs, but also hold each other accountable. By giving them traffic duty, I hope they learn to work together more responsibly.<\/p>\n<p>So, AITAH for making both of them do traffic duty for this stunt? Should I have handled it differently, or was this the right move to ensure they understand the consequences of their actions?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; AnnoyedCaptain34<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-88 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/countdown.starskyhutchcalendar.net\/2024\/calendar\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/divider04.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"176\" height=\"53\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An S\/H Present Tense story that brings Bay City characters into the present.
