Imortal words, and one of the last sentences my ex-husband said to me. I laughed back then and today I laughed again, not because I heard the words, but because the behaviour I met reminded me of the reason I was called out on my attitude all those years ago![]()
Men being overbearing twats make me laugh, say what you have to, but leave the standover, superior attitude at home. If I am not being confrontational, dont be a cock. Today I really earned my restraint patch for not actually laughing out loud (within hearing), and controlling my Cheshire Cat grin in the face of the reason I had a grin a mile wide.
I paid some speed tax on the way home tonight, you would have thought I did it to deliberately upset this plod judging by his attitude to me. His pursed lips and tut-tutting attitude, coupled with wide open eyes when he revealed how fast I was goingHis constant warning to stay in my vehicle (yes in the poxy car, my ankle has decided I cant wear my boots the last couple of days) and finally shoving a breath testing device into my face so fast, and without warning, I actually recoilled from it, gave me a few moments of mirth.
I did not see him![]()
It was a totally fair cop and I have no problem with the ticket, I own my speed
I actually sped up if you please, to get past a car that I knew was going to crawl well under the limit all the way from there to home.
First thing I saw was this plod waving frantically to the car ahead of me to go faster! GO FASTER! Which he did I might add. I went to follow him thinking all hell was about to let loose...
When I got the "TREATMENT". He practically leapt out in front of me, pointing at me and then to the roadside!![]()
Doing these amazing arm rotations. Far out
So I let him know I was going to stop and not run
"Any idea how fast you were going coming down the hill?"
"You were lucky I turned off the radar when you hit the 80kph sign"
Silence from me while thinking, you are only 50 odd metres past that and I am pretty sure we get an opportunity to slow down past the signs, and I was not going fast coming down the hill at all, must have been a bit over though
"100 kph" says me.
His eyes about popped open, they were so wide! He turned his hand held radar to my face and showed me the unbelieveable speed of 114kph
Ok, so I am done!
He does all his recordings and observations, goes to his car and prints me off a ticket. He returns and that is when he shoves this black thing in my face without warning, asking me to count to 10. I considered being a bit flippant and saying chance would be a slim thing at this hour of the night, but counted like the good gal I am, I had already worked out his sense of humour was faulty. He made no comment on the result, apart from shoving the display back in my face. "NO ALCOHOL".
So, I am about to become $80 poorer and earn 20 points on my license - deserved.
I dont thing Maha's people can help me in this instance, but they are tempted to make a comment about the attitude of this plod. Treat as you find would be my advice. This encounter with plod has done nothing for my opinion of local HP plod. I have a bad attitude![]()
