Proof that not all cops are jerks

How is it possible you have so many run-ins with the police?

How many was that again?

That's only the second time I've ever been pulled over (while I was driving anyways)....

Damn. I wish I had 6kgs.
I only had 3/4 oz, but we'd smoked a blunt on the way to McDonald's. We just finished eating and got pulled over, so I don't know how he didn't think I was high, even if he couldn't smell the dope.

I was so facing a distribution charge (even though it's for personal use).

This is why we can't have nice things.

Time for an Arbys story.

Pretty simple really. My wife works overnights, and she hadn't gotten much sleep due to all the errands we had that day, so we'd gone for a nap that afternoon and ended up sleeping too late for her to grab dinner before work. I told her I'd pick something up and bring it to her and she wanted Arby's. No problem, I think.

I thought wrong.

I'm playing a game until 9:30, knowing that Arby's is three minutes away and they close at 10:00. I take my time getting up and around and end up at Arby's about 9:45. All the lights are off outside and I think they're closed, so I pull over to call my wife and see what else she might want. I quickly see that I'd forgotten my phone, but a car pulls into Arby's drive-thru and I can hear their order being taken. Great!

I pull into the drive-thru right behind the person and I'm told that they're closed and they will not be taking my order. I have a short temper. I am livid. I was in the parking lot before that person, they are open for another fifteen minutes, I told my wife I'd bring her food from this place. I tell them it's still a quarter til. They don't care. "We're closed."

This is where things start going badly. I have a very short temper sometimes and I wasn't taking my medication like I should. I'm angry enough that I start yelling, very loudly, all manner of terrible things at the drive-thru speaker. If I could think of a swear word, I poured it through that little box and right into the ear of the person who was keeping me from what I wanted just to be a jerk. I didn't think it was possible, but I peeled out pretty hard in the PT cruiser I was driving and sped off home to get my phone so I could come back and get the corporate number. I wanted to leave them a message, which would have the current time stamp on it, to show that I was there on time and they'd refused me service.

I make it back and it was 9:50. I'm circling the building looking for the corporate number which is often posted outside places like this and I couldn't find it so I park to call my wife. She wants McDonald's now, right next to Arby's, so I grab some and I'm on my way to drop it off when I get pulled over. The cop wants to know if I was the person at Arby's just now. Yep.

Arby's got scared. They thought I'd gone home for a gun and had come back to wait for them in the parking lot. I calmly explain that I had been incredibly angry at them for closing early when I was there before the last person they'd helped, that I was getting food for my wife, and that I'd only gone home to get my phone to call their headquarters to complain. The cop told me that I could be hauled in for a disorderly conduct charge, but that he understood I was upset and wouldn't let Arby's know that they could charge me. He told me that I was allowed to swear at the government, but not the drive-thru window. We shook hands and parted ways. I made it away from Arby's without a misdemeanor charge. Everybody, except those jerks at Arby's, was happy.

I was in the wrong, but it was pretty funny and satisfying that I was intimidating enough to scare Arby's employees into calling the police for protection from me. Grrrrrrrrrrr, FEAR REIFIDOM!

They closed the only Captain D's on this side of the city. I was shocked and not just a little bit upset. That, and my wife is not a fan of the Captain.
