Crappy Day Topped Off
Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2008 11:10 pm
.....with a speeding ticket. My first in over 10 years!!! The road I live on is 25mph and EVERY OTHER road in my neighborhood is either 35mph or 45mph. I was just running to the post office a half hour ago and I guess I was doing about 35mph. One of our new rookie friggin officers whips around and pulls me over not 2 blocks from my house. Instead of a warning I got a $43 ticket. Not that expensive, just pisses me off because the people I see hauling *** down my road at 50mph NEVER get pulled over!! I know all the cops except this one because I live in a small town. Jerry ,the chief of police, is a friend and I could probably get this ticket tossed but....I WAS speeding so....I'll take my lumps I guess. Probably makes up for all the times I haven't been caught going well over 140 MPH on my GSX-R (out of town and on the interstate of course,NEVER in town). Was funny, I told him "Guess I'll have a funny story to tell Jerry next time I see him" and he was like "You know the Chief?". I told him yea, your boss is a friend of mine but I ain't gonna go crying. I was doing it and you caught me." We both had a good laugh, he was a nice enough young cop.....I just hate getting tickets. This combined with my seat belt ticket from last summer (one of the few times I forgot to strap up and got caught by a statey,lol) makes a whopping 2 tickets in the last like 12 years for me.
Add this to spending all day on the friggin' phone with different arseholes and it's been a helluva bad day!!
Just looking for some sympathy I guess.....being a whiner today. Oh, I should add this was in my pickup ,not on my bike.
