Four weeks ago, after a long day and evening of work, I was ready to go home. Little did I know that it would take me about two and a half hrs and several hundred dollars to actually get home. As I made the turn out of the parking lot lights and sirens turned on, I was being pulled over. What could I have possibly done, I thought to myself (actually screamed quite loudly to myself). The officer approached the car and I sped off , no that’s what I should have done, he approached the car and asked for my license then returned to his car. After several minutes in that wonderful blinding light the officer re approached and asked me to step out the vehicle.
Well I’ve watched cops and Reno 911 before so I was pretty sure this was not a good thing. When the officer asked me to turn around I was pretty sure that he wasn’t doing this to check me out. The officer then informed me that I was being arrested for driving while license suspended, (turns out if you fail to pay outstanding tickets ,they wont just disappear). So after an hour of finger printing and mug shots (I should post the mug shot here but I don’t have the ten dollars needed to get the arrest record from the police station),(too bad they don’t take amex) so we will do that another day. I was told that if I could post a 250.00 dollar bond I was free to walk the streets ,so I smiled and pulled out one of those plastic credit cards people have and gave it over to pay the bond, about five seconds later I was notified that my card was declined , embarrassing (but not nearly as embarrassing as a more recent transaction that I tried to post on my amex black card, king of all cards, that was declined) again it turns out if you max out your credit cards and don’t pay the bills , your credit card will not be there when you need it. Thank god I was granted my wish and was able to call a friend who gladly bailed me out, That’s why I have friends, strictly for emergencies. So please friend me on facebook ill be a great friend.
