Really, I did.
I woke up at 5:01 AM. I'm in my car by 5:07 AM because I need to run to the 7/11 for some coffee filters. Not really happy about that, but oh well.
Of course, there is little traffic on the road because of the hour and the early birds who are out there are mostly going in the direction opposite of me for morning rush hour.
I'm going around a curve and I realize that I am lollygagging a bit, so I give my car more gas. In reality, I'm not really lollygagging, I'm just going the speed limit. But, everything is relative.
As I round the curve, I notice the headlights of a car parked pointing the opposite direction that I am going. The word 'cop' flashes through my mind, so I slow down. As I come abreast of the parked car, sure enough, it's a cop.
Damn.
But, I don't see him pulling out in my rear view mirror and a sigh of relief comes over me. But, that is short-lived. The flashing blue lights catch my eye, but I think maybe he is going after the guy behind me and continue on my merry way.
Nope. It's me he is after. I pull over and he asks me why I think he pulled me over. Being the honest perp that I am, I say speeding. Well, that wasn't good enough for him. He starts shining his flashlight in my eyes and giving me an inquisition as to where I am headed, what I am doing, where I live, why I am going this way, yadayadayada. Again, being the honest perp that I am, I tell him where I live, that I am going to the 7/11 to get coffee filters because I am out of them, etc.
Apparently, he didn't believe me. He asks me to do a field sobriety test. Inside I chuckle a bit, but I don't argue and do it. Of course, I pass.
But, still that's not good enough for him and he is visibly becoming agitated with me. He asks me to do a breathalyzer. I do and the results clearly piss him off more. (Zero point zero zero).
At this time, I'm getting a bit concerned and hope that the back-up he called for gets there soon. As soon as I think that, the back-up does show up. The new cop introduces himself and asks me what the problem is. I think it's a bizarre question, but I tell him that apparently I was speeding and I am waiting for the cop to give me a ticket. (The first cop is in his car).
This guy asks me the same sort of stuff. He asks me if I have been drinking. I say no, but that I really would like a cup of coffee.
Anyway, long story short, the first cop never spoke to me again. The second cop gave me a ticket for failure to pay attention rather than a speeding ticket, which was cool. And the second cop apologized to me.
So, that's pretty cool, too.
The first cop seemed a tad bit disappointed.
