Welp... that's it.

I am officially PISSED OFF. I am currently screaming at the top of my lungs in the hallways where no one can hear me. My wild daydreaming currently has me running from a cop, flipping him multiple really emotional birds, escaping, going to San Francisco so I can hide amongst the tall buildings and meet new homeless bums all the time... screw my job... screw my hometown... screw all this shit. Why oh why does life have to be such a fvcking battle day in and day out? I am well beyond frustrated right now at the things that have happened in the last month and a half of my life that have truly taxed my wallet/credit cards/patience/positive-ness. The last straw was just now -- got pulled over, and for the first time I had no fvcking clue what he wanted. Apparently I turned left where a sign said motherfvcking otherwise. Am I mad at myself? Fvck no. I am mad at the system that is dumbed down to the lowest common denominator (i.e. people who shouldn't be driving in this case). I followed a car out of the Irvine Spectrum, he made a left turn, so did I. The street we were turning out on was empty from intersection to intersection. There are no safer left-turns in this world. But then a minute later, two motorcycle cops pulled me and the other guy over. Mass confusion since I didn't know what was wrong and who they were pulling over. Anyway, why this guy would issue a citation for a safe left turn when the sign said otherwise on a day where they should all be on the lookout for terrorists is beyond me. So... as a result of all my screaming and blubbering to myself, I now have a killer headache, and have since emailed my boss that I am unable to work due to it and general frustration with life. Then again, who knows maybe after I've written all this, I'll calm down and be able to work.

I just wanna go home, write a book (I came up with a great story in the shower this morning), play a game on the Playstation, & sleep.

No need to respond, I know very well my post is an attempt to get some sympathy, and frankly I'm embarrassed to be writing this.

 

read my sig

 

Last month...a cop pulled me over...

Gave me a ticket for "defective equipment" (JS racing exhaust).
Gave me a ticket for no front license plate.
Told me to roll up my windows to try to give me a ticket for dark tint.
Asked me to show him my eyeballs to try to give me a ticket for not wearing contact lenses.

What a prick ass cop.

 

Irvine cops, you have to love em. It's a hate-hate relationship.

 

Well, even more crap happened today so I ended up going home. Time to take a lil breather from life and take another shot at it all tomorrow.

Unabageler, very good point.

Unicron, that cop sucks, that just makes me crazy!

 

Steve... I hear ya man... that's why I just count...

Hell Yeah!!!

Steve, dude, it'a be OK, just give it some time. Nothing good ever lasts, but fortunately, nothing bad really does either.

Cops really can be idiots sometimes. Nothing better to do than to pick on people who mind their own business.

BTW...what are the chances of being pulled over in Los Angeles by a cop for mods done to a car? I mean, what's more likely? Being pulled over for hyperwhite headlights (even though many cars come stock with xenon) or exhausts or loud stereo systems....or what?

I drive w/ my windows down so the tint isn't visible

 

Many thanks to wantone and S2Kguy! I'm feeling better already!

Gonna be approaching life with a new perspective tomorrow.

Here's something to look into in CA. For those of you who have gotten tint tickets in the S2000, check your local laws to see what they are for convertibles.

I went to court about 2 months ago and the guy pleading his case a couple before mine had gotten a "fix-it" ticket for too dark of a tint on his windows in his Miata. He pleaded not-guilty, then went onto explaining to the judge that he was ticketed in his Miata, which is a convertible.

The judge snapped back rudely that he knew what a Miata was and the ticket was a citation and a clue for him to peel off the window tint.

The man then proceeded to quote an Illinois traffic law that did omit convertibles and classics from the window tint ordinance. He then also asked the judge to take a look at a few photocopies of other rulings in other cases as precedence.

The judge took a look at the photocopies and in frustration he threw the ticket out.

I wanted to meet the man and let him know that I found a new hero.
