So, I was pulled over last night on the way back to parents house. I was coming into town, there were many cars ahead of me and I was pulled over as I was turning at a stop light. The cop came at got my info and went back to his car. While I was waiting for my ticket another cop car came over to chat with his buddy, pulled back to look at me through his tinted windows, said something else to his buddy and then drove off.
The cop came back to my my car said that I was doing 51 in a 40, to which I responded, "Oh, I'm sorry I guess I was just following the cars ahead of me with the flow of traffic." The cop said that he understood and then asked me if I knew who **** ***** was. "Um, yes, he used to ride my bus in middle school." He said, "Yes, but more specifically he was your cousin's roommate in college, and he said that I should just let you go with a warning." I said thank you to him and asked if he was still there for me say to say hello because I wasn't 100% that we knew who we were outside of our family names. The cop said that he had gone but not to worry he would find me around town. (!)
While I am grateful, here's the deal. Coppers, stop yankin' my chain! If you're going to pull me over, just give me the God damn ticket. Don't tell me that because my cousin's sister's former roommate in college's ex-boyfriend went out drinking with my aunt's nephew's friend from soccer in high school you're not going to give me a ticket. Don't you have the law to uphold or something? If I was speeding just give me the ticket, I don't need you to pull a power trip on me and then let me off easy. You really don't need to patronize me when I know where your parents live and what you looked like in 8th grade, for God's sake his sister and were in most of our math classes together. Geez!
Policemen should either be like Boss Hog on The Dukes of Hazard or like this guy

I think you know which one I'd like to see looking into my car window at midnight

Oh the joys of being from a small town...
I'm glad you didn't get a ticket. 'Cause really...you don't need that right now. :)
