Happy Monday! I Got A Speeding Ticket This Morning

[Christine]

This is my first one at age 42 so I guess I'm not doing too bad.

I was going 40 in a 25 mph zone. My son and my neighbor's DD were in the car with me. My son freaked out and thought they were going to take the car away. I then calmly told him I was getting a ticket.

He then says "Mom, if you were prettier, you wouldn't be getting a ticket. It's because you're not pretty." Where do they HEAR this stuff?????

Guilty, guilty, guilty...it will cost me $132.

Out of the mouths of babes...comes the truth. But you would have to be REALLY pretty to get out of that one. BTW I have told my boys...it's OK with me if I get arrested -someone fixing me 3 meals and a room, with no house work sounds good to me(only kidding) and they said no mom they will make you eat garbage in jail Now where did they get that idea from. KND

That reminds me of when my cousing walked up to my aunt, put his arms around her and said "There's a little more to love in a Plumper, 'cause there's a little more Plumper to love."

I'm having a bad day as well. Didn't sleep well last night, then on my way out the door to go to work (only my 3rd week) and I found I left my purse and car keys in DH's truck after his softball game last night. Now he has to drive 15 or 20 minutes back from base to bring them to me. GRRR!!

He probably saw that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry dated that woman who got out of the car and pouted and got him out of the ticket. Try that next time.

I have a really attractive friend who was pulled over. She admitted she had been drinking at a wedding and said she was only a few blocks away from home. The cop told her to be careful and let her go. So, it can happen.

My sister's worse nightmare is being stopped by a female cop. Male cops never give her a ticket.

I was pulled over a couple of weeks ago, apparently going 42 in a 30.
Before the cop even got to my window, I stuck my head out, pretended to be all flustered and lost, and then asking him how to get to some place that I actually knew how to get to.


Cop then says to me, "Why were you speeding?"
Me: "I was speeding? Oh, I didn't even realize, I have been in and out of this car all morning trying to get this and that done, this place is sending me to that place, blah blah blah. Then I added that I was totally lost and had to be at this place by 11 am and now it was 12:10, and oh, what to do?"
Cop: "Well, why don't you at least have your seat belt on?"
Me: "I don't even have my seat belt on? (looking to check-knowing full well I never put it on) See? This is the kind of day I'm having"
Cop then starts giving me directions to where I needed to go and told me to be careful and maybe stop at Barnes and Noble for the city guide book map!
Thank you officer!!!

And that children, is how it is done.....

I once told a cop that I was speeding because I had to go to the bathroom and I was really close to home. he let me go but told me to use a gas station next time

Another time I got off because I was lost, been in the car for 5 hours, and my cat wouldnt shut up. She was also trying to climb out a window. I think the cop let me go because of the cat.

One other time I was following someone because I didnt know where I was. He got pulled over and I pulled over too. I immed started crying (I was still pretty young) got out of a ticket and the cops yelled at him saying we hope your happy because shes crying now, we normally would give her a ticket too but not now. With all these escapes I have also gotten my share of tickets.

I have been telling my "ticket" story at work this morning. Everyone LOVES my son's remark. But he will PAY tonight at home. We will be having brussel sprouts and he will eat them.

My co-worker (female) was telling me that a few months ago she got a ticket on her way home from work. Two weeks later, her husband was going through the same area (speeding) and was pulled over by the same cop apparently. He got a warning. She got the ticket. Go figure.
