I just got home...
I am soooo pissed! 4 those of U who don't know about NJ, our Governor had a terrible car accident a few months ago, in which he was not wearing his seatbelt, and was thrown partially thru the windshield. Since that time, he has made it his "crusade to make sure we're all wearing our seatbelts- which most of us do anyway! ..

What does that have to do with me?!
I just came out of traffic on the highway (listening to Prince, of course!), when his guy in a Jeep kept flashing his lights at me. Since he wasn't a cop, I ignored him, thinking he was being fresh (he was swerving back & forth like he was trying to pass me). I get off at the exit and he followe me- on the ramp he pulled up next to my car & said, "U don't have your seatbelt on!" I was like, I said, "Yes I do- I ALWAYS have it on!" Then he said, "U didn't before!" I repeated, "I ALWAYS HAVE IT ON!"
He didn't identify himself as a cop or anything, he just said, "Whatever, ma'am." and pulled off.

WHAT THE HELL?!

Girl, wear your seat belt

Why would you let something so stupid piss you off? Who cares if the guy is a dumb ass.

Would it have been too much to add your vent to one of the already exsisting vent threads?





Kidding of course.

U're right. I was just so annoyed when I 1st walked in the house!
People ride around here yappin' away on cellphones, doin' all kinds of crazy crap & this jerk singles me out because I look like I'm not wearing a seatbelt!
Who was he anyway?! That's the part that irked me-- if he actually identified himself as a cop, I would write it off as an honest mistake...

What an idiot. Some people cant mind their own business.

Glad he didnt follow you home.

Wear your seatbelt!

BUCKEL UP!!!!!

Imago said:

I always do

What a jerk off! Some people, where do they get off!? Maybe this person should have been paying more attention to the road, then looking at you to see if you had your seatbelt on. What a butt!

I don't know what I am rising and all that. How do ya find that out? I don't know what time I was born.....

ThreadCula said:

You didn't let me finish my sentence!

I mean, "Wear your seatbelt, totally naked, and send me photos"

Imago said:

LMAO!!!!!

Imago said:

Please tell me your goal was to make me laugh and get my mind off being annoyed...

chocolate1 said:

I was joking but not really. Miranda knows the drill.

Jersey!

I'm surprised he cared enough to stop you!

Where are you in Jersey?

Sweeny79 said:

I was getting off 24, onto Springfield Ave.; I live in Union.

i am laughing at "whatever ma'am" ... he was mad he ain't give you no ticket.

chocolate1 said:

Wow you aren't that far from me. I live in Secaucus.

Sweeny79 said:

Go Jersey!

That was nice of him to tell you. He was looking out for your safety

In California it's the law. I use to be lazy to put it on for a quick drive to the neighborhood market, till I got a $90.00 ticket! Now, I wear it no matter what! Best 90.00 ever spent.

what the hell? thank goodness he didn't cause an accident trying to "protect" you


however, kind of ironic that this is a seatbelt thread today of days...
my sister wasn't wearing hers

luv4u said:

He was confrontational; he didn't present himself as any kind of "authority". He just came off as some jerk who thought it was okay to harass a young woman on the highway.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

It's the law here in NJ, too: "Click it or Ticket".
I feel 'naked' if I don't put it on. I don't pull off until I put it on. I was just annoyed that this guy followed me off the exit to mind my business.

emm said:

I'm sorry...
Was your sister in an accident?

It's the law in Maine to wear them. I have a friend who will not. She says she understands they are safer, and doesn't find them annoying, but it is that important to her that no one tells her what to do. I think of her as one of our last patriots.

When I was younger, we were in an accident on the NY Thruway in which my Dad fell asleep. Our car flipped over and ended up in a ditch upside down. If my Mom wasn't wearing her belt, she would have been thrown thru the windshield. She a huge scar that was the seatbelt pattern that went around her neck.

Not only do I ALWAYS put mine on, I make sure everyone in the car is buckled up- even in the back. I think that's why I was so annoyed.... I felt like, "U DON'T KNOW ME!!!"

luv4u said:

Oh yeah. I'm sure you'd find it a GAS if some creep chased you down the highway.

For fuck's sake.
