Cops to police manners?Follow

Elaborate please, I'm curious.

I had a friend that went to pull out of a parkade and a cop car was parked across the entrance so she couldnt get out. She saw the cop in the bank paying a bill and complained to him (seeing as how he was doing his banking not his job and illegally parked). 5 minutes later driving down the street he pulled her over and gave her a ticket for some bullsh'it traffic violation.

The girl talked to our buddy who is a policeman out of town and he told her how to report the guy. She filled out some paper work. The ticket was dropped.


or there was the time

My brother was driving down the road and a cop was on his bumper the whole time. Making him speed up and speed up. He then passed my brother and put on his breaks. My brother followed the car to the local Tim Hortons asked the police officer for his name and badge number. The police officer asked why. My brother told him so he could report him for dangerous driving. The police officer declined to give his number. My brother told him that he could either give him the number or else he would write down the guys license plate and car number and report him and mention how he refused to give his badge number. He got the guys number. The cop got in sh'it.

Or maybe his sandwich wasn't up to par, and the cop took it to heart?

F*ckin' sammich.

Well now that was kind of dumb dont you think? I mean even if you do get out of the ticket you still have to waste a bunch of your time getting it straightened out. Wouldn't it have been easier to just thank the "sandwich artist", and then **** and moan about it once you were out of earshot of the cop?

Pssst. Xythex.

It's waaaaaay more entertaining to make up why he did it, as the real reason is dumb. Here, try it.


I'm pretty sure the cop spit on him, and rather than pull out his nine and let him eat lead, he chose the gentlemen's way out and deployed the f-bomb in hopes that his opponent's ********* would shrink and he'd run crying from the scene like a wee girl.

Being polite seems to be a lost talent in today's youth. I was raised to say "please" and "thank you" growing up, and to respect other people. For the most part, I follow that fairly well. After all, if I didn't do it when I was a kid my folks would smack me on the back of the head. There's something to be said for negative reinforcement.

While I may be in a sh[Aqua][/Aqua]itty mood occasionally, I still try to remain polite to others. Those in the service industry deserve my respect too, as long as it is given in kind.

So yeah, pay the ticket and learn a lesson asshat.

When I graduated high school this lady that I didn't even know made me a present for graduation. She had some sort of sewing shop and hand-made me a leather backpack for college. When I asked her why she wanted to make me a present she said it was because she saw me around town a lot and I was always nice and opened the door for her on the way out of the convenient store and stuff. I didn't even remember her because that's just how I act. I wasn't doing anything special for her.

I didn't actually end up using the backpack (I suspect it was just one she had used to level up on) but I really appreciated the gesture. That was really the first time I realized that people really do pay attention to how you act in random encounters and that it can come back to help or hurt you later.

I understand what you are saying but at the same time, I hate when a random stranger walks up to some one to correct them on their manners. The older generation is so quick to judge the younger generation, I know plenty of people my age who say please and thank you all the time. But if I'm in a bad mood I might not say it, but that does not mean I'm being disrespectful. Also, some cops don't have anything better to do than to flash their badges thinking they are some one special. I have had plenty of older people disrespect me so its not just today's youth. You give respect you get it back. Times have changed, it's hard to trust people like you could back in the day, so people have changed. You never know who's crazy lol , so people need to be careful who they choose to say something to, cause they might take it the wrong way and something might happen to them.

edited to add: What he said shouldn't have gotten him aticket, the cop was just being an ***. Saying "I don't give a ****. It's only a sandwich." is nothing, I don't believe kissing anyones azz, no matter who they are. Yeah, it was his choice to say what he said, but it was also the cops choice to say something in the first place, so who was the *******..the cop.

Yes, it pretty much means exactly that. Withholding common courtesy because you're in a pissy mood is disrespectful.
In what way was the person behind the counter at the sandwich shop not giving respect (actually, what you're talking about is courtesy)?

Nobody said all adults exhibit perfect manners at all times. If that were the case, we wouldn't have those fabulous TV shows like "Cops" and "Jerry Springer". Many of us improve over time.
