My "public servant" question of the day, that was asked of me.

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My "public servant" question of the day, that was asked of me.

Posted: 5/2/2011 3:19:59 PM EDT

Sometimes I think people see cops as a roving Google engine.

Some of the questions I've had in the past.
"What time is the 8-10 yrs old swim meet at the YMCA?" (swim meet wasn't even taking place in my city.)

"Does the Library have 'insert book name here'?"

"Does 7-11 carry toilet paper?"

"Is the polling station at "insert school name here" still open?"

And the one from today..

Guy pulls up in a 90's model 240SX and waves me down.

"I'm test driving this car. Will you take a look at it and tell me if it is worth $2000?"
I don't mind the questions, but I don't understand why people think cops know stuff. We are mostly just mouthbreathing knuckledraggers as it is.

Hey, even knuckledraggers need a place in society. Be glad that you've found yours.

Interacting with you people brings nothing more than a traffic citation, I tend to avoid you people at all costs.

Probably a win-win situation for us both

The people that do come up and talk to you are dumb as a box of rocks and wind up spending most of their time in county court.

Maybe you look like Cliff Claven and they think you know everything.

Directions, or even 'which restaurant is good?' are logical questions to ask a cop.

But some of the others I chuckle at.

Do you really have to ask?

Woe to the citizen that asks me that in real life. As the Snicker's commerical says... "Not going anywhere for a while?"

One of my favorites: "When are they going to change the speed limit signs to match my GPS?"
