I was driving on Beach Boulevard behind an ancient guy in a beat up truck.
He decides to turn in front of me without a blinker.
I accelerate to swerve and avoid him, and this, overaerobicized woman jumps in front of my car with her hand up.
She proceeds to yell in my window, "Hey, slow down you idiot!" I'm a well-bred, mellow guy by nature, so I ignore this.
As I drive away, she yells, "*******" at me again. Twice? I turn around and drive up next to her.
"Do you have a problem?" I ask.
"Yeah, why are you driving like an idiot?"
"I was driving like an idiot? How, exactly."
"You were speeding. I watched you."
"You were? I see. How did you measure my speed?" (Ever the interrogator, I am.)
"I heard you."
"So, you measured my speed by ear?"
"I can hear."
"How fast did you HEAR me going?"
"Look," she says, "I don't have to take this. Here comes a cop. I'll wave him down."
THE POLICE? This woman is a trip. She waves him down, and proceeds to tell him that she observed me speeding.
"What happened?" he asks. I told him the story, and told him that I accelerated to an indicated 33 mph (the speed limit is 35) to avoid a collision.
"Are those mufflers legal?" Ethel asks.
She's pushing it. I reply, "I have a C.A.R.B. exemption for them." I give the paperwork to the cop.
She tries to find another thing to screw me with. She says "What about those big tires? They CAN'T be legal." I began feeling little overheated gears in the back of my head start to turn.
"These tires were available on the 1970 Boss 429, "I told the cop," Which makes them street legal as a replacement."
Ethel gets angry. She whines, "So you're not going to give out any tickets to this ******?"
The cop says, "No, I am not."
I've about had it. So I say, "Sir, this woman told you that she left the street at the corner, and she met up with my car here. According to Title 39, pedestrians have to cross the street at a right angle. This woman admitted she crossed at a 45-degree angle, which is a ticketable offense."
"What?" The cop looks confused.
"Also, she told you that she walked in front of my car to stop me. A citizen can't detain someone without probable cause, under Terry v. Ohio (my new favorite case). Since she couldn't measure my speed, she had no probable cause to detain me. That is an indictable offense."
The cop says, "But, I didn't see any of this."
"But," I said, "I did, and, as an officer of the Court, I can demand her arrest. I'll agree to dismiss the Illegal Detention charge, but I want her cited for not crossing at a right angle and Hazardous Conduct on a Public Street."
The cop called his Lieutenant, and after the cop told the story, he authorized the summonses.
She went home with $215.00 worth of traffic tickets, and they are worth a total of four points against her license, as well as the appropriate insurance surcharge! Â

Congratulations. You've
Congratulations. You've thoroughly demonstrated the douchebaggery that makes lawyers such well-loved rodents.
i love you

So because she was
So because she was irrational, you decided to be an asshole? Isn't that sort of like spanking your child as a punishment for hitting someone? This doesn't make you look good, this makes you look like a very small, sad person. Why didn't you just drive away, and be the bigger person?
Not a joke?
This isn't a joke, it's a bunch of legal jargon. The punchiline is pretty week too...
Moral of the story is not to
Moral of the story is not to whine and cause trouble for everybody.
Once again...
Proof that lawyers are the scum infesting the planet. How do you "accelerate" to avoid an accident? I sense you being "well bred" has made you an arrogant fuk. I hope you never pass the bar because people like you, dare I say Sir and belittle the word, are what is wrong with the judicial system and society as a whole.

Priceless!
This is great!

Got 'em! I love how she couldn't find anything to tap you w/ & in the end you tapped her BIG TIME!
Another reason to hate
Another reason to hate lawyers...
Here's a joke:
A local United Way office realized that the organization had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $700,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um ... no."
The lawyer interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again, "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"
