Fucking Fabalous Start to My Day

I want to preface this post by saying that I really do appreciate the police and what they do for a living. I work with them on a daily basis and well they're part of my family, but FUCK ME, they piss me off sometimes. It's been a rough couple of days with work being busy and the like so I'm not really excited to get my ass out of bed these days to begin with.

I'm driving into work this morning, minding my own business when I come upon a van (early 1990's model so It's totally a drinker) in the hammer lane doing 55mph, when the speed limit is 65mph. So I admit while cars are passing me on the inside lane because I try and do the appropriate thing, i.e. get up on his ass and let him know I'm there so he'll pull the hell over. I'm only on his rear for about 5 seconds and then I back away and say screw it and pull into the right lane and pass him. As I pull back out in front of him, I throw up my hand--- like PULL THE FUCK over jackass, I kindly did not flip him the bird, which takes a lot for me on most days.

About 2 miles down the road while I'm out in the hammer lane in a row of cars, no I wasn't leading, but rather following. This State Trooper flies up along side me in the right lane, I'm a very observant driver and usually know where these guys hang out. Maybe today was a bad day for me from the get go because I really wasn't watching for them, but in any event, I see him pull up beside me and I don't look over because I know he's wanting me to look at him. So I just continue on like it's no big deal, I'm not afraid of the BIG, BAD State Trooper.

All of a sudden he darts out in front of the car behind me and follows me so closley for at least 2 miles that I couldn't even see his headlights (at this time, I'm sure he was running my plates), he then decided to throw on his lights and sirens. Now mind you, I'm on the interstate at a split where 2 major highways around Indy split. I'm in the outside lane and refuse to pull over on the left side of the road, so the A-hole, instead of waiting until the split happens to pull me over, makes me cross 4 lanes of traffice to pull me over.

At this point I'm beyond pissed and this is how our conversation goes:

Trooper who is barely peeking his head around the corner of my passanger side window to my MINI VAN as our friends call it, now I could see if I was in a pimped out ride with tinted windows, etc but no, I'm in my equinox --the grocery getter and no apparent threat. Oh and I forgot to mention that he shined the spot light into the vehicle, um sir, it's not DARK OUT..WTF.

OK so the conversation goes like this:

Trooper: Hi, is there a reason you were following the car in front of you so closely?

Me: ummm, no sir, I didn't realize that I was.

Trooper: Oh well, I didn't pull you over because you were speeding, but you were following too closley.

Me: I apologize, I didn't realize that I was.

Trooper: Well it's raining out and that becomes a major safey hazard, so please back off a little bit.

Me: Ok, I will do that. Thank you

Trooper: Have a good day.

Me: You too sir

As I rolled up the window, this is the conversation I had with myself:

Me: umm, sir It's not raining out right now and the roads are pretty much dry.

Me: Well sir, did you know that you were being a major safey hazard as you followed so closley to me that I couldn't even see your headlights?

Me: You *^^%! you caused more of a safey hazard trying to have me cross four lanes so you could tell me to back off of the guy in front of me.

Me: why the F didn't you pull over the jackass in the hammer lane going 55mph in a 65mph, he's the one causing the safey hazard.

Me: As I slam my fists into the steering wheel, you fucking bleep bleep bleep.

Me: As I pull out into traffic and make my way, by some miracle back all the way over into the left lane so I didn't miss the merge to the interestate that I needed to be on to get back to work with out the help of flashing lights, like you did, Waves to the trooper as he drives by me doing oh I'm guess at least 70MPH in a 55MPH.

Fucking fabulous start to my morning. And while I didn't get a ticket and appreciate this very much, I'm still very irrated over the fact that he pulled me over for this.

Now, I know I just totally bashed this guy for doing his job, I'm having a bad couple of days so I apologize to him at the same time. Thank you for being so nice and not giving me a ticket.
