worst night ever.
Last night I went to the bar with Emily and BJ. I drove Emily's car home since her and BJ both had a lot to drink. I had a drink when we first arrived, but we stayed around four hours, so by the time we left I was fine to drive. On the way home, however, we had to drive through East Lansing where a cop decided to tail us for awhile, then finally pulled us over. I had no idea why because I wasn't speeding or anything, but apparently one of Emily's headlights was out!
The cop asked me if I had anything to drink, and I wasn't going to lie, so I said I had one drink hours ago. He asked me to step out of the car and walk to the back of it, where he proceeded to make me put my hands on the car and spread my legs while he searched me. There were two other cops standing around with flashlights shining on me. I felt like I was a fucking criminal. Then they made me perform a series of sobriety tests. First he made me follow his finger with my eyes, then count backward, say the alphabet, and balance myself on one foot for 30 seconds. After all that, he made me take a breathalizer test, and then told me to get back in the car.
He came back and said I could go. He didn't tell me what the test read, but obviously it was lower than a .08. I was freaking out the whole time just because I HAD been drinking earlier, even though I wasn't drunk at all, and I hadn't even hardly been buzzed right after I had the drink. But still, I hadn't ever taken a breathalizer test and wasn't sure what would happen. I'm just glad I didn't lie and say I hadn't, because I probably had some level of alcohol in me, and then I probably would have gotten a ticket or something.
Arg. Stupid cops! I don't know if you've ever been humiliated by cops like that, but it's awful. I was on the verge of crying and one of the cops who was standing there with his stupid flashlight on me was like, "you're just going to have to calm down now!" like ugh, shut the fuck up. I couldn't stop trembling the entire night.
Also, right before we left, Emily and I were sitting at a table and this creepy old guy comes over and tells us him and his friend thought we were cute, and were wondering if we could put our tables together and "talk" for awhile. It was so awkward because they were really close to us and kept asking us to join them. We kept saying we had to leave, but they were like, "well, see if you still want to leave after you talk to us for awhile." I swear they kept saying they had robbed a bank earlier that night, and kept asking us if we wanted to rob a bank with them. (Even though Emily doesn't believe they said that, I'm pretty sure they did, because they said it multiple times) BJ and his friend Chris were RIGHT there and just LAUGHING the entire time, they didn't even try to save us!
Worst. Night. Ever.
