So last Thursday I was supposed to go out to lunch which my dad to my favorite restraunt at the other side of the city. I ended up taking a wrong turn and got lost. Then my dad calls me and tells me that the place closes in 10 minutes for lunch. Then Rich calls and looks up where I was on google maps or something and starts TRYING to direct me. In the end I realize that I WAS on the right road and would have gotten there in 2 minutes had Richard NOT have told me to take a certain turn.
Anyways, I was lost and not really looking at the view, just following the car ahead of me and trying to read road signs. I notice a school and I start slowing down... then I see lights behind me... Now, I've driving for 2 years or so now and I've never been pulled over, it was quite dramatic.
He walks up, I roll down the window...
*deep mean voice* "You realise you were going 60 to 70 km/h in a school zone?" FUCKING CREEPY!!!
He asks for my license registration and insurance, my parents only told me they were in the glove compartment... so I handed him the 200 or so pages of shit we have shoved in there and let him go through it all.
"Yes," I said. "Once I saw you"
...turns out he has no sense of humor...
He starts questioning me asking me where I was going, why the fuck I didn't see the school, who's vehicle this was... ect. And me of course, sucking at life as I do start crying... He then tells me the ticket will be $170 - $200 dollars. I think: that's great give it to me so I can go eat my fucking food.
I must have been the most pathetic, stupid looking girl he's ever seen in his life...
but eventually he just said, "You can go now" And hands me back my 200 papers.
I can't believe he didn't ticket me, which was nice... but he
WAS SOOO FUCKING SCARY!!!but whatever, I was lucky! Here's a piece of advice, if you're going to do something illegal...
Don't get caught.
