I Hate This Country.
Ok, I don’t really hate it. The National Anthem still gives me chills. I love the instant gratification, and the my way, any time, any day part is great.
But I do hate the cop that pulled me over this morning and gave me a $190 speeding ticket.
$190! Isn’t that a little excessive??
I will admit I was going a little bit over the speed limit. Like, 12 mph, according to him. But I was only going 32. THIRTY TWO. That is SLOW! Is it my fault that it went from a normal, residential 30-mph zone to a school zone with NO warning? And he was sitting on his lazy ass right there behind a tree?
Now, keep in mind, I’m driving a friend’s car, which happens to be a brand new Beemer. I obviously don’t live in this country, with my German license I handed over and the registration that was not in my name. I told him it was a friend’s car. He knew it was an unfamiliar vehicle; he knew that I was on unfamiliar roads; he should have known that I was jet lagged and didn’t realize how flippin slow 20 MPH is.
As he made me sign the ticket, he told me “thank you” three times. I may or may not have rolled the window up and said “FUCK YOU.”
Merry Christmas, asshole.

That wasn’t very polite of either of you, now was it?
