It's so common in police procedurals, I think the same person writes every script. Sometimes the person is rude because they end up being the killer at the end, but even people who end up having nothing to do with the crime don't act the way you would expect people to act. If a couple detectives showed up at my house or at my job and wanted to ask questions, I would be really shocked, and stop what I was doing, go somewhere where we could sit down and talk, and answer their questions respectfully. But in the movies, the person keeps working, acts annoyed, answers questions sarcastically, walks around the office forcing the detectives to follow them while asking questions, and none of the co-workers seem surprised by any of it.

That is hilarious because it's so true.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I’ve seen a Church or two do the same.
