Cops and Miscellaneous: Stickler

Stickler

Today, I got stopped by the fuzz. The officer told me he "could care less" about my excuses. He was probably about to let me go without a ticket, but my inner Grammar Nazi kicked in and I explained why he meant to say "couldn't care less." I got the ticket. FML

Today, a policeman pulled me over and proceeded to flirt with me. After I had rejected him, he gave me a ticket for "not paying attention to the road". FML

Today, I got pulled over for a traffic violation. Thinking I could get away with it, I spoke with a French accent. The officer then asked me a question in perfect French. I got a ticket. FML

Today, my husband and I were pulled over by a cop. He was still angry from our earlier argument over his constant freeloading, and when the cop told him we'd been doing 75 in a 55, he retorted, "Yeah? I did 75 in your mom last night, fuzzball." One more ticket I have to pay for. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I know that I was in the wrong and will take responsibility for that. When the cop handed me my ticket, he asked me if I was smoking crack. I denied it because I don't do drugs. He asked me what that foul odor was. I was passing gas. FML

Today, I got pulled over for speeding. I started fixing my hair and unbuttoning a couple of buttons on my shirt, hoping the policeman would let me off with a warning. When he got to the car, he rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. I saw him walk back to the cop car gagging. FML

Today, I was pulled over for speeding. After a few minutes of conversing, he told me he didn't need to give me a ticket. He then asked for a date. I politely declined. After staring at me for a very long moment, he said, "I think I'm going to have to give you that ticket after all." FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Sometimes you just got to force it down. Sorry about the ticket.

... Why do people call the police "the fuzz?" They are not particularly fuzzy, unless of course a certain cop has a beard or is very hairy in general, so where on Earth did this euphemism come from? On another note: You totally deserved this, OP. I'm a fairly staunch grammar advocate, and even I wouldn't be stupid enough to correct a POLICE OFFICER when I was already in trouble. Epic facepalm into a hand made of spikes for you, OP.

Grammar Nazi fail! You proved his point that he could care less. He was going to let you off with just a warning, but your correction made him care less enough to give you a ticket.

Let's see, from the way your post is written, I suppose there's no possible way you got a ticket because you did something wrong & because you're a bit of an asshole, is it??

Being a Grammar Nazi is a terribly annoying trait. Although you'll fit in just fine here! You shouldn't correct an authority figure, for the obvious reasons. Your incessant need to point out others faults only serves to make you appear rude and hints at a need to feel superior. Grammar lessons should be left to the classroom.
