who would have thought...
....that the crazy driver that I encountered was actually a member of the Nation's Capital's police force! Riding home from the market on a Friday afternoon, by boy-friend and I were taking home our groceries, and on our mtn bikes. As we had spent the earlier part of our day riding, we were not all prettied up on our road bikes, with matching gear, as most of the commuters in our area are. We were dirty and sweaty. Anyway, as we head home, we pause at a light before making a right onto a pretty busy street, where there are tourists who don't watch the lights or walk signals. Not a second passed, before there is a blare on a horn, so loud I thought I was going to pee myself. I ofcourse (being very lady like...:D ) flip them the finger and yelled a good old fashoined F-OFF....as the horn blew again. At this point we rounded the corner, and low and behold, there was a navy van filled with this HUGE police officer, who instead of perhaps pulling me over and giving me a ticket for whatever it was he said that I was doing to deserve being scared half to death, he instead, yelled obsenities at me through the open window, across traffic. AND, not only once...but twice....did I tell him that I was no longer interested in carrying on this conversation, if I had done something wrong, then he should write me a ticket. Funny....they drove off. Leaving me very angry, and shaken....not to mention, I took a different route home, as the police station is down the street from me, and I was not going to sit through repeated lights of them harrassing me.
Jerk :mad: !
