Last night around 8pm, Jason, Carson and I were making our way back up to Island Park for the weekend....just cruising along, listening to music, having a good time, blah blah blah. All of the sudden a cop pulls on the freeway a little ways ahead of me. I slow down from 80mph to 70mph cause I know how Idaho cops are...SO strict about the speed limit.
The cop gets into the fast lane ahead of me going 65, so I gently switch lanes and start to creep past him at 69mph. Before I knew it, he had pulled me over. FOR SPEEDING. Seriously? Seriously.
He comes to my window and asks me if I knew how fast I was going. I say "I think it was only 69mph?"
Cop (who had stupid Mickey Mouse ears on his antenna) says "I was going the speed limit at 65mph. Is 69 more than 65?"
Me (trying to keep my cool) "uh, yes" (Do I look like I'm in first grade?)
Cop: "Well then, you were speeding. What can I do to get you to slow down?"
Me: "Pull me over?" (smart ass remark, I know. Good thing he didn't hear it over the noise of the freeway.)
Cop: "What?"
Me: "uh, I'll slow down officer, sorry about that."
Cop leaves with a smug look on his face. Good thing he didn't give me a ticket FOR GOING 4 OVER THE LIMIT. The worst part is I had JUST gotten Carson to sleep about 20min before that. Not an easy feat. And as soon as the cop pulled me over Carson started crying, upset that he'd been waken up. I wanted to yell at the guy for waking up my baby, but decided in the end it wasn't worth paying for (cause I definately would have with that guy).
Stupid Cop.
