Sunday, March 28, 2010 - Rude cop!

Have you ever been pulled over by one of THOSE cops? The small-town, I'm so bored and you looked like a good target, kind of a cop? Those kind are bad but add FEMALE small-town, I'm so bored and you looked like a good target cop and you're in trouble. (And I can be hard of females because I am one. =D)

On our way home from church this morning my sweet husband decided to take the scenic route home. We live in a 1 light little town. There aren't a lot of ways to go home and why he picks the longest way I don't know. For heaven's sake I'm hungry and want to get home! So, we're driving the "scenic" way and he starts to go verrrrrrrry slow. He's pointing out houses and telling me the story behind them. I have heard it all before. I really don't care. I'm HUNGRY! He finally gets down to 2 miles an hour and I can SEE our house so I said "SETH! Please!!! Let's go home." I guess it didn't come out as sweetly as I wanted it to. *grin My hubby peels out, turns the corner and rushes into our drive. All of our nosey neighbors are poking their long noses out the door. Great, I wanna crawl under the seat. Me and my big mouth. I look into the rear view and there is a cop with the lights on behind us!! Now I want to laugh. He really did deserve this. Part of me REALLY wants him to get a ticket, but the other part of me knows that if he DOES get a ticket that's my vacation money. I went inside and left my husband to meet his doom. Before I got inside though I knew he was in trouble. SHE gets out of her car. She's swaggering like she is John Wayne. She's hiking her belt up...yep. He's in big dookie.
Cop: "What's going on here?"
Seth "Ma'am, I was in first gear, it just got stuck"
Cop: "I saw a cloud of dust from where I was sitting"
Seth: "You did, huh?"
Cop: "I'm gonna need your information now..."
She goes back to her car and checks up on my very bad husband.
Cop: "Sir, You know you've had 11 accidents?"
I'm thinking (NO! He didn't know that! Must've been his twin in the other 11 accidents. haha)
Seth was so nice..
"Ma'am, ten of those were car-deer accidents. One was where a woman hit me from behind."
Cop: "Well sir, I can cite you for reckless driving."
Seth: "How can you do that? I wasn't speeding, I didn't go out of my lane."
Cop: "Well, your proof of insurance is expired by 20 days. I'll cite you for that."
Seth: "I JUST moved 2 days ago. It's in the house somewhere in a box!"
Cop: "Oh! You just moved? That means your ID isn't valid. Has the wrong address on it!"
Seth: "No! I have TEN days...I JUST moved so you can't cite me for that either."
Cop: "I'm going to cite you for the insurance"
I went inside. I felt bad that he was in trouble, but a LITTLE part of me enjoyed it. *grin

He did get cited for the insurance but all he has to do is show the proof to the judge and he'll be okay. Another disaster averted! =D

This next week will be interesting I think. We moved (for the 7th time in 3 years) on Saturday. Where we moved we are remodeling. I will put up pictures and stories to go with them very soon.

Love,
