Of Police and Profanity

Lol, before you comment, yes I know, dramatic title. Just a story about what happened on Friday's PA day.

Our class has a health project due, and we are in groups, so on Friday my group got together(ok, so it was only three of us becuase Mayuran's writing is so bad that he might as well have just taken a huge shit on the page)Aaaaaaaaaaaanyways. I was over at Ali's, and Zack came too. That's the group. After the usual dicking around and getting nothing done, we decide to go and play nicky nine doors.

The best part about it was, the snowbanks there are big enough for us to easily hide behind, so we could do this during the day. We do a couple of houses, most of which had nobody home. Eventually, I run up to a door. *Ring ring ring*, run away. No one comes to the door so we all stand up and start talking. Then this Asian dude whips open the door and starts screaming at us!

We run, he runs after us (in his slippers and robe I might add, even though it was past 2 o'clock) he goes untill the foot of his driveway, at which point he realizes that he can't run for a shit compared to us and goes back inside. Ha ha, loser (I can say this because it takes me like 16 seconds to run 100m)

After that, we had to stop with the nickying because there were no more houses with good cover that weren't on the same street as a house inhabited by a psycho asian dude. But we kept walking anyway, up a street that takes you straight downtown (if you can really call it that) Ali has to pee, and because his house is too far away fo rhim to make it (or so he said) he goes on the side of a van. Yes, he literally pissed on the side of a van!

We finish walking up the street and turn around, because now I have to pee. as we're walking in the middle of the road (because there was a parked car, we're not assholes like that) two cars pull up behind us and are waiting for us to get to the side. as we're just about to get past the parked car, one of the ones waiting for us starts honking at us.

After the cars pass, Ali and Zack start yelling at them, but the driver can't hear them. I give it the finger. Unfortunately, they were looking in their mirrors, and saw this. The breaks go on and tires screech to a halt. The car sits there for about 5 seconds, at which time we start to run. Then it pulls into a driveway and turns around.

The car comes up beside us and stops again. More screeching tires, oh joy. The window goes down and the woman driving starts to ask me if i think it's appropriate to give her the finger for honking at me. Then she says that she's a cop and that if she had been in a really bad mood, she might have run us down. She says that she only honked at us because we weren't facing oncoming traffic (no fucking shit, bitch. I generally look where I'm walking, and when I know that both vehicles have come to a dead stop BEHIND ME, I generally try to get out of their way, which would involve looking forward so as to not walk into anything. Fuck, what a prick) Zack starts snickering, she catches him and he shuts up (tee hee). After a multitude of "sorry"s and "no, I won't do that again"s the woman finally drives away.

Now let me ask you something. By stopping in the middle of the street, this woman had already broken the law. My town also has an idling law which I'm pretty sure was also broken. Also, a cop generally has enough restraint to just ignore it when a grungy looking kid gives them the finger after they've homked at this kid for a while. And generally, a cop is smart enough to have some basic common sense and logic when evaluating a situation, suck as harmless profanity. So quite frankly, unless this woman had pulled out a badge, pepper spray, a pistol and a billy stick I wouldn't have beleived her.

So in short, when playing nicky nine doors don't get up untill you're sure nobody is there and if a car honks at you, don't give them the finger. Trust me, it's just not worth it.
