I just can't help it
The officers eyebrows just went up with disbelief of being peppered with that many questions after only just arriving at my car three seconds earlier lol....so he told me in a stutter..."The reason for pulling you over today is because of your burnt out light"....to which I responded by pulling out my old bulb in my hand and showing him that yes I am aware, but because I got off work so late, Canadian Tire is closed so I have to wait til tomorrow....he was flabbergasted that I so quickly showed him the light he just said "Okay, have a good night", but then suddenly stopped and said "Oh, ummm well since I am here I should probably check your license"....so I gave him my drivers license and as he walked back to my car and handed it to me he said..."have a good night...and by the way...I really like your sticker"...and snickered and walked away.
So this next picture is of me and my first DOT officer who stopped me last week. Now for those of you who do not know what the DOT is....it means Department Of Transportation...and they pull over commercial vehicles and inspect them for various things....now since my oldest brother is a truck driver and so was my Dad, I have heard many many horror stories about these DOT guys...how they are ALL assholes...so when I turned the corner one day last week and there they were...all set up waiting for their next victim and it was gonna be me....I shit my pants.
So this officer was my first DOT guy....and I got a level one search...which mean everything but the rubber glove...I was there for half hour...this story could go on and on with details of all the hilarious things that I asked and talked about with them....but I will not rattle on here....but....needless to say, I got a selfie pic with my first DOT dude...and as he walked away from me, I shook his hand and thanked him for taking my DOT virginity :-)
Okay so a few weeks ago, I had to do a bunch of deliveries way out in the Waterton National Parks area....I have never been there before and I had a few stops along the way...one of which was at this burger joint on the side of the road and there just happened to be a bunch of Native Blood Tribe police officer cars and suv's there....so I had to ask them to move cause they were in my way....and while I was talking to them I asked them if there would be willing to help me out with a prank...a prank on one of my bosses who is a teaser.....so they were more then willing to help me out....so we took a pic of them arresting me, to which I sent a message to my boss saying this "Hey, there may have been an incident today out here, and it may have involved handcuffs, but I was able to talk my way out of it" and then he got this pic!
Now I have only worked at my new trucking job for a couple of months...so he does not know the extent of my humor or pranks yet....so he actually thought I got arrested and talked my way out of it.....he now though....fully does not trust me at all LOL :-)
So now it's a thing....my work wonders daily what the hell happens while I am in my truck..and they want to put camera's inside so they can watch the fun action all day...and I said..."no way....not unless TLC calls and they are gonna do a reality show" lol....cause if that's the case...they should have done one with me when I worked at a 7-11, cause now THAT place had some crazy fun shit happening ALL the time.
All I can say is this...if your an officer, and you are pulling me over...there is gonna be pictures....however....even if your not pulling me over....I may just seek you out for some other reason :-)

Embarrassing Canadian...to me anyway
While I was working and driving this last week, I drove up behind this truck....and as usual this truck had some stickers on it's windows....so I took a closer look. I usually am not moved or shocked by what people have on their cars or trucks....but his one...well...it struck a cord with me.
Why? Because of it's small but powerful content.
The words are this if you can't see them on the two stickers on each side of the windows:
FIT IN OR FUCK OFF
Powerful right. Now only powerful if you look at it in the aspect that I took it to be. Now in each side of the sticker is a Canadian maple leaf, and the colors are that of the Canadian flag....so to me this sticker was implying that either you fit in to Canadian standards (or that of the government or ideas of them) or again, the ideas of the people that follow what the government is saying all of us Canadians are or should be or fuck off.
What really really really chaps my hyde is when people or government or ANYTHING tries to tell me HOW or WHO I should be...and the fact that this person in this truck feels like if your not Canadian or not following a "certain standard" of his, then you all should fuck off.
How about YOU BUDDY IN THE TRUCK fuck off. How about there be more love and acceptance....in fact...I would love to let this guy know that he himself is probably more of a minority in a country that is so amazingly diverse and wonderful with all the different nationalities and people that are filling us up and coming in. I just found this to be so arrogant and intolerant of him...but hey, we are all entitled to our own opinions, I just do NOT want to be lumped in with this one that's for sure.
My heart just broke for all the people who do see this sticker and and wonder if they fit in or if they are in the category that would be offensive to this idiot. It's no wonder there is so much hate and anger in the world when this type of shit is prominent in our society.
I have a bumper sticker on my care.....you know what it reads?
WELL BEHAVED WOMEN RARELY MAKE HISTORY!
