It was 5 :30 a.m. and I had just barely shaved to start going through my morning routine; Down the stairs I head to go take a shower as I have found that the heat from the shower opens up the poors to push the beard out, but by allowing it to cool off it sucks the beard in and I do this multiple times to allow a smooth facial pallette. After my shower I contine getting ready and lost track of time and in the event of brushing my hair and styling it. I looked at my phone for the time and my heart stopped. I had only 5 minutes to get to work and I live 20 minutes away from work. I finish my hair and quickly grab my jacket, purse, phone and keys and rush out the door. I jump in my car, turn it on, rev it to heat it up a bit so my heater will work on the way to work, buckle, shift and take off. I'm speeding through town going at least 20 over the speed limit not realizing how fast I'm going because my hair is still wet and I'm trying to blow dry it using my heater in my car while at the stop lights and thinking about how I cannot be late no matter what happens. I get on the freeway not noticing that there is a cop behind me, I shift into 5th and take off. I'm going 90 now going south on the freeway and I notice this car is following me, but I still don't realize it's a cop. I keep my speed and as I'm coming to my exit I pull into the exit only lane and bam the lights start flashing. First thought was "damn, I got caught and then about 5 seconds later I was balling... crying my eyes out because I can't afford such an exspensive ticket. With everything that had happened this week all the way up to that point made this pull over top my WORST WEEK EVER category. So I'm balling my eyes out and ruining my makeup I just did and the policeman knocks on the window... I looked at him and took a minute to register that he wanted the window down because I felt horrible. I roll down the window and he asks for license and registration. I hand him my license and and disclose to him that my registration is also currently expired and started to cry a river at this point. The policeman looks at the license and says "is this man the owner of the car?" Yes, officer. OK, I will also need your license as well; still sobbing I piped up and said "that is my license officer" and he looked at me and stated that it wasn't funny and that he needed my license. Still sobbing I told him "officer that is my license" He didn't looked convinced as he asked a third time for my license. I finally took a deep breathe and said "officer that is my license and that is me in that picture". He lifts up my license to examing me and my picture and still not looking quite convinced that it was me he walks back to his car and sits there for about 15 minutes. He finally comes back and issues me of all the things I least expected "a warning"!!!!! Yay, my heart is jumping for joy as I wanted to jump out of my car, run over to him and give him a gigantic hug and kiss for being so nice. He even helped me put on my spare because my tired deflated the moment he pulled me over and my car was scratched from one of the construction signs. I told a Co-Worker of mine and the moment I finished my story her jaw dropped so low you could have climbed in and had a comfortable sleep, but then she started laughing hysterically and I didn't know what was so funny. She looked at me and pointed saying "do you realize what you just did?" No, what did I just do?? You of all people just pulled the most classic girl trick in the books "The massive crying and get out of a ticket trick" and you use to be a "GUY" that makes it even funnier. So, I apparently I have also pulled my first girl trick.

I am actually surprised that your not sitting in a jail cell right now lol yes you pulled the oldest girl trick in the world and it surely sounds like a horrible day. Your work didn't say anything about being late?

No, they allowed me to work late and make up the lateness I accrued by being pulled over though.

Realize you still will have an incident on you attendance record even tho you worked over.
I'm sure they made a note of it.
Just be careful and don't speed next time the cop won't be so nice.Your warning is on record too.

I hope you learned a valuable lesson or two.....driving that fast is just reckless IMO. You were lucky not to cause an accident. At least there were no repercussions at work......

I'm not going to mother you here. Not sure why there are so many mothering posts here. That's a fantastic story! I bet you were somewhat glad to know that you were passing so well the cop couldn't quite believe it!

I always used to cry when I got in trouble. When I was in 7-8 grade I would get beat up, or have my glasses stolen, or something... Then I would be sent to the principles office, not sure why. I would always tell my story between sobs, get in-school suspension and detention, and wonder what just happened?! Turns out the "girl" trick doesn't work well if you're a boy and the principle believes that "Boys should be tough..."

Glad to hear it worked out for you! I hope the rest of your day/week goes better!!!

it's very possible he has a connection to the CD community or perhaps has a few pair of panties himself and decided to be nice to you.

Not trying to derail the thread, but that principal should be fired. Would he/she rather you have started a fight in the school? That would warrant actual suspension? With the way that bullying is these days I think that principal definitely would have been on a higher alert of their remaining time if enough kids came into the office like you did.

Back on topic, yeah...it's a bit of a moment, but don't make it a regular occurrence.

Yes, I have learned my lesson as my mother yelled at me for a good hour telling me how important it was to go the speed limit and how I could have crashed and how reckless it is to go that fast especially when I could have gotten to work at a slower speed and only been 20 minutes late instead of an hour. So yes, I learned my lesson and I LOVE MY MOM! whoowhoo!!

I am definitely a more law abiding citizen when dressed.
See CDing encourages you to drive safely. :)

That's a great story but you were really lucky that your tire didn't go flat while you were going 90. You could of gotten killed or killed someone else. I'm glad you are okay.
