In high school I got pulled over for speeding. The cop lectured me then told me he was calling my mom. I think his plan was to get me in trouble at home then send me off with a warning. I don’t think I laughed at the suggestion but I knew what was going to happen.
He attempted to lecture her about what her son was doing but her only response was something like “ok, why are you calling me?” I think she may have also admonished him for wasting her time on the morning of a workday. He came back red faced but I’m not sure it was anger or embarrassment. Either way I got a ticket.
I have a good mom.
- greyface- 2y agoHow did the cop get your mom's phone number?

- greyface- 2y agoWhy do you think I knew the answer?
- dymk 2y agoI'm imagining that the cop was his dad
- mulmen 2y agoSmall town. I think they went to high school together. It was 2003 so he could have just used the phonebook.
- DirkH 2y agoI mean, there is a reading here where the cop - though self-righteous - was trying to avoid you getting a ticket which for some (if not most?) people is a worse outcome than having their time wasted Either way, you have a good mom lol
- mulmen 2y agoYes it’s obvious what he was doing but let’s not pretend it was generous. He had his own idea of justice but it relied on everyone playing along. When he didn’t get his way I got the punishment he could control.
