An amazing thing happened the other day, I met a nice understanding cop. He wasn’t a douche, nor was he one of those “I’m going to rape you for all the money I can” kind of cops. I happened to make a turn through the opposite-directions turn lane simply because I was sitting at a light and realize I needed to instead turn into a shopping center. I sort of snickered to myself as I did the turn because while I see people doing it all the time, I usually don’t. Jamie asked me what I was snickering at and I replied “Because I just…oh fuck a cop” and sure enough there magically appeared a cop behind me with his lights on. I pulled into a parking spot and started to feel for my wallet. Oh double-shit, I left it at home.

Jamie gives me my insurance and the cop starts off with a “You do realize that turn lane was for people on the other side of the road don’t you?” and I’m figuring I’m fucked. Not only do I not have my license I have a cop who’s going to be a typical douche and try to lecture me. Instead as I’m trying to hand him my insurance info and explain I don’t have my license he goes “Don’t worry I’m not giving you a ticket, just be careful. Imagine what would’ve happened if someone was coming the other way.” and he turned and walked away.

Both Jamie and I were fucking floored, but damn was I thankful.
