Guys who do that really think that they are NEVER going to retire.



But, when they least expect it, sometimes with WAY less than 20 years, they fall, trip, get stepped on, then go sick....but then the department doctor tells them, "Well, you're finished...." At that time, they go into panic mode knowing their days of "authority" are over.



They then compensate by seeking the same "courtesy" that they themselves refused to extend, and are shocked...and demoralized...when it isn't.



Even if you don't run into him (not literally, of course), he'll soon find out, "what goes around comes around."

And I'm sure your post will be posted in at least one or two MTA locker rooms......
