OUR LOVELY IL STATE POLICE, pulled me over today, and gave me, not one, not two, BUT THREE TICKETS!!!
I automate research labs in pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, government labs, universities, etc... Well, I was traveling from Rockford to Sycamore this am... in the middle of NOWHERE. Well, I hadn't been the back way down towards Dekalb/Sycamore since I graduated from NIU a "few" years back, and couldn't remember exactly where to turn to head south. Well, I looked down at my nav system to see how far away I was from a turn, and look up... an IL STATE COP had his lights on going the other direction, but passing me. I see him turn around in his rearview mirrow, and come straight at me, lights ablazin'! GOD! So, I pull over, and make a cute joke about how I couldn't have been speeding since I didn't know where I was and was on a Sunday drive... blahblahblah... He says, "Maaaaaam, PLEASE! MY LIFE JUST FLASHED BEFORE MY EYES!" I asked him what he was talking about. He said I had swerved over into the oncoming traffic lane in front of him, and then back over. TOTAL FREAKIN' BS!!!! I never moved my steering wheel, and I looked away for all of a half a second! He gave me a few other SARCASTIC comments, and (insert foot in mouth here) I told him, " YOU are f*cking insane! Here's my license. Write up my ticket, and let me get out of here. I'm done listening to your BS and LIES!" Gave him my license and insurance card.
HE MAKES ME WAIT 45 MINUTES while he sits in his car. Comes back, and says, here's your ticket for improper lane usage. Here's another ticket for an expired INSURANCE CARD (May 9th! UGH!), AND here's the best one! Another ticket for disrespecting a police officer! NICE! I just racked up $400 in tickets in one stop!
I told him I'll see him at the courthouse, and stop sweating profusely over my paperwork. I'll surely get the swine flu, dealing with a PIG! GOD!
Now, let me say this... I haven't had a ticket since I was 22. I drive a STATION WAGON. The improper lane ticket was all of $50! Who cares? Had I done it, I would have admitted it, probably had a chuckle, and moved on! But, I didn't!
Ok, I'm done. I'm letting it go now.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
