If you score over single digits on an IQ test, can you still be a cop?
HOME BACK TO RANTS E-MAIL
    So I�ve been living in the same place for a little over a year now. It�s not the nicest place in the world maybe, but I�ve also lived in worse. Other than a leak one time that the landlord did take care of as soon as he knew about it, I haven�t really had any problems with the place. Well, other than the crappy insulation. And the fact that my bedroom is about 100 feet from railroad tracks that ARE used on a daily basis. And the problem with the mail carrier not knowing her numbers, and constantly putting mail in the wrong mailboxes. And one of the DJs from a local radio station is opening a bar across the street in a place that only has three fucking parking spots, which means I will never be able to park when I come home from work. And there�s the guy who lives upstairs who rearranges his furniture every Goddamn night. I�ll be sitting there watching a movie and all of a sudden SCRAPE! SCRAPE! SCRAPE! What the fuck? Other than that, there�s nothing wrong with the place.
     Hmm. Now that I see all that in writing, all put together in the same place, why the hell do I stay here?
     Anyway, it�s the parking thing that I�m gonna talk about here today. I have been here for a little over a year, as I said. And I have been parking in the same fucking place for a little over a year as well. I don�t have a driveway, so I park along the street, as many people on this road do. And in over a year I have never had a problem with this. I have had cops here before, or I will be sitting outside talking to one of them when they�re stopped at the stop sign. Or when the building across the street was still empty, before the DJ bought it in order to make my life even more fun, and the cops got called there because of a break-in or whatever, I would talk to them. And one of the guys renovating the place for the DJ is a cop, and I�ve talked to him while he was there working on it.
     The reason I mention all of this is because for each of these events, my car was parked in the same place as it always is when I�m home. And at no time did any of these guys tell me there was any fucking problem with it. Hell, half the time we�re out at the car, leaning on the fucking thing as we conversed! You would think this would be the perfect time to mention if there was a problem with where I was parked.
     So instead of mentioning it then, some little Cocksmoker with a badge and an unbelievably small penis decides to wait until three in the fucking morning to leave a parking ticket on my fucking windshield. In the rain, no less, so I have to peel the Goddamn thing off the window when I go out the next morning to go to work. That was a fine way to start the day, lemme tell you.
     My question is, is there a limit to the stupidity of cops? I know they haven�t reached it yet, or come anywhere even close to it, but it would be comforting to know that there IS one, and eventually they will do something so stupid that it just can�t get any worse.
     So anyway, I�m still parking where I have parked every fucking night since I moved here. And I haven�t gotten any more tickets this week. But if I do, I can promise they will end up in the same place as the first one. Ironically, that ended up on the side of the road also. At least until Tuesday morning when they come to collect it with the rest of the trash.
     And now all this typing has made me hungry, so I�m going to get me a donut.
