Now, speaking of angry . . .
Encountered a very unprofessional and rude cop, last night. Came upon an accident scene after midnight on the way home. Couldn't see if the road was closed or what was going on. Rolled down my window and waited for some direction. Finally, this jerk strolls up shining his light in my face and starts yelling at me. I CALMLY asked if the road was closed. He started screaming, "Can you get through? You see my car? You see those flashing lights? NO! You cannot get through!" I calmly replied, "You don't need to be like that." He stuttered and stammered and told me to back up. It was very, very dark on a little winding country road in the mountains and would have been safer to not back up, but rather turn around. I asked if I could just pull up a bit in order to turn around and he started screaming, again, "BACK UP! BACK UP!" As I slowly and carefully backed hoping I didn't hit something or drive off the cliff, I (calmly, again) said, "You're a PRICK!" and drove off.
I know some of you have loved ones who serve or have served as police officers and I'm sure they were much better than this asshole. I don't want to hear anything about how tough his job is. That's crap. He should be professional and should have politely told me, "Sir, the road is closed," and even helped my turn around as other officers have done in similar situations.
Anyone vote for well-needed Anger Management Training for this creep? Bet he goes home and beats his wife and kids...
