Awkward Squad is the name given to that group of people in any organisation who cause problems and difficulties. They are apparently normal, everyday human beings, but when they get together, things just go wrong. They are not necessarily troublemakers, although in some instances they can be, but some strange synergy causes things to go wrong in their collective presence.
The origin of the word dates back to just after the Second World War when National Service was compulsory in Britain for males over the age of eighteen. This meant that all sorts of people, some of whom were totally unsuited to military service, were inducted into the armed forces. That they were unsuitable quickly became apparent, and they tended to be grouped together to keep the clumsy, the unwilling, the careless and troublesome in one unit which became known as the awkward squad

When an emergency medical technician who has worked 911 previous to getting a job with a medical transport company, he/she may have trouble letting go of the adrenaline of the emergency, and thus still does midless things on routine non-emergency transport that are indicative of the fact that they do not care for the comfort of the patient being transported.
One example is the "Squad Kick."
A stretcher has wheel locks that prevent it from moving, and to unlock these locks, one need only to place one's foot under the lock and apply upward pressure.
A Squad Kick, is performed when one repeatedly kicks at the lock until it pops, even though the vibrations from that kick are riding up the legs of the stretcher and transferring into the patient, who may have: sacral wounds, hip replacements, knee replacements, etc.

"Hey douchebag, do you mind not kicking that fucking lock, there is a living person on this stretcher. You want to Squad Kick, go to your gay rescue squad and practice with your wacker buddies, fucking loser."

Group of good for nothing teens in Houston, TX composed of HTX Paul, HTX Shiv, HTX Jason, HTX Yatin, and a bunch of other niggas who are irrelevant. These niggas act like straight fucking fobs and act like they run the city of Houston when the only thing that they should be running is the desk at their motel. These dudes also feel need to post their entire lives on snapchat and just act cringe asf but I must admit that they do stay eating good. Someone needs to go to Htown and go check these fools.
I was at the club the other night when fob squad was there and those niggas ordered $2K in bottle service and then just dipped and we got stuck with the bill, if we run into those niggas again, we'll beat their ass.
