Nice wingtips. Also Officer Angry/Frustrated reminds me of Henry Gibson for some reason.

Maybe soon cops will figure out how many cameras there are watching them nowadays.

I can't tell you how much joy reading that after watching this brought me.

This reminds me of this one time I got a parking ticket I didn't deserve on campus, and I had to talk to the university's person in charge of ticket contesting. And she was talking, and I kept nodding just saying stuff like 'right' 'okay', but every time I would say something, she would act like I was interrupting her, and totally stop the conversation and glare at me. I was really being nice, and eventually after she verbally admonished me I just stopped talking and made the 'zipping your lip' gesture, and she acted like I had just slapped her.

It can be really frustrating to deal with people like that, but you have to understand that it's basically their job to be shat on at a professional level (not that I'm defending Officer Friendly here, but I'm sure he was having a bad day), and once you're in their little kingdom, there's nothing you can do but smile and wait it out.

That said, people like this guy will be first against the wall. Also, I got out of the parking ticket, BITCH.

I think everyone's had to deal with someone powertripping them. Everyone loses in those situations.

My favourite part of this is the end when he starts asking if the other people are okay with the cab driver wasting their time. The guy has so totally lost his mind and, although his anger is so totally in control of him at this point, there is a rational side in there somewhere screaming at him that he needs to calm down and probably apologise. But by the time that message gets to the decision-making part of the brain, it's just a distant, meaningless noise, like a stranger frantically waving and shouting at you from a distance: you know they're trying to tell you something important, but there's just nowhere near enough information to do anything with. But you have to do something, so, hey, I know! I'll try and get the bystanders on my side!


TheOtherCapnS - 2015-04-05

Can you imagine what might have happened if at that point the passengers had told him he was being an inexcusable ass, and that they were recording his whole meltdown? I had that thought for a brief second while I was watching this and started to gasp, but then I remembered that this story ends with him getting his badge and gun taken, and not with a murder-suicide.

A campus parking office authority sounds like the ne plus ultra of petty shitheels.


TheOtherCapnS - 2015-04-05

Without a doubt, yet I can't help but blame myself on some level. You see, I'm devastatingly handsome, and I barely even flirted with her at all. I don't think she even saw my signature wink. I've made a fine point of being more obvious since that day.

Dumb women who become cops are even worse than the men. I know that sounds harsh and sexist but seriously I can't fucking stand the ones I've met for the most part. They feel like they have something to prove most of the time and they go to great lengths to make that painfully obvious. There is this one that bothered one of my best friends (the 50+ year old who got roughed up) by going over to his elderly fathers house. This fucking bitch knocks on his 80 year old father's door at 5 AM in the morning while the old dude was asleep and then jets over to my friends house to wake him up because he's suddenly a suspect in a missing persons report.

This all started because some Meals For Wheels driver made a comment that the old dude looked like he wasn't eating enough (I had just seen him the previous day and he refused when I offered to make him food like three times because he was so full) that got misconstrued and she didn't bother to think about the fact old people like to sleep the fuck in.

He knew her name because she had called the day before, when I was there, and left a message for him to wait for her (she never showed up) to visit. His father was there in his house with me for like five hours. Just waiting for this bitch to come to clear up someone's comment that got twisted into something it wasn't. She wanted a feather in her cap or something. Because he answered her by name, going "Are you Teresa?" (real name not used) and she was like "ITS OFFICER SMITH AND IF YOU DO NOT CALL ME BY MY TITLE I'LL MAKE SURE YOU REGRET IT. I AM AN OFFICER OF THE LAW AND I AM TO BE RESPECTED AT ALL TIMES. I AM NOT TERESA. I AM OFFICER SMITH. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" And then she threatened to haul him in under suspicion of kidnapping his father.

And he said yes, he did understand. Then he called his father and woke him up to prove to her that she was a complete retard. And he said you better be careful with filing missing person reports when no one has reported that person missing. You. Dumb. Cunt.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. The one time I got put in cuffs was by a female campus police officer. It was about 5AM during finals and I was still living in the dorms my freshman year. I was all finished and decided to get rather intoxicated and slept right through my alarm clock. Because nobody was around it must've been louder than usual: it was pretty much me and the RA on the floor, and he called the fucking cops. It's true, I was underage and had been drinking and smoking weed (not in the room) but that's no excuse for her tearing the fuck out of my room, and my dormmate's stuff, who was coming back in a couple of days to move the rest of it. She smashed my hash pipe on the ground and broke the door to my dormmate's minifridge (technically it was both of ours) and found a mostly drank bottle of tequilla that I didn't even know was there. This was after no resistance on my part. I woke up and let her in, thinking it would be a normal noise complaint, not a fucking raid. Anyway she cuffed me and threw me in the back of the campus police car and I spent the next couple of hours in custody. The entire time she told me to refer to her as "sir" and was a total fucking cunt.

But here's the funny part. After she broke my pipe she took it in, and I got a call a few days later that they had found no marijuana residue in it (I had just bought it that day as a finals gift to myself) and that I could come by and pick it up. It was super easy to fix and I still smoke weed and DMT out of it to this day and think of her when I do it.

the only time police officers are allowed to be this yelly is if there is some kind of actual emergency going on.

Obviously, such is never the case for traffic enforcement. Ever.

The only time I'd excuse a cop for being rude like this would be if they had lives to save, or -dangerous- crooks to arrest. Then, by all means, yell, intimidate, etc to serve the greater good.

But when it's over -any- kind of traffic violation, doing this has absolutely no benefit.

Fuck Uber

I feel like you've missed the point.


infinite zest - 2015-04-06

I sort of glazed over the article, but yeah this has nothing to do with him being an uber driver. He could be a delivery driver for Jimmy Johns and I think their vegetarian sandwich is shit, but.. anyway.. speaking of Uber, I'm a little skeptical about it, but I know a lot of cabbies, mostly because they're working similar hours as I am and we wind up at the same places like bars and 24 hours coffee shops. Once in a while I'd see a cabbie come into the bar and order a shot with a beerback, smoke a cigarette and take a hit of weed and get back into his car and drive away, still on the clock. And if that works for you, it works for you, but since you're working for a company that can administer piss tests you're fucked unless you know somebody clean, so they're still careful about it, and since there's competition, drug/breathalizer tests are administered much more frequently. With Uber, what's stopping me from getting in a car with a completely fucked up guy, and if he/she does get into an accident and I get hurt, who do I go after? The driver or Uber? I'm more curious than anything else. It was trying to take off in Portland but I'm pretty sure it got banned for some reason.
