There was so much I was going to write about , but I can't remember any of it because I'm so upset. A statey reamed me out today and I still don't think I did anything wrong. There was a detail by this property because they were cutting down a big tree. I stop behind a white van who is so far away you can't see the property. I stop there for a while then the van pull over to the side of the road, so I go around him thinking he is part of the construction and stop a bout a car length in front of him before I hit the property. Mind you the tree that's going down is on the other side of the property. I stop and wait for instructions. The cop walk over to me. From quite a distance I might add and asks me if I just went around all those people. I told him calmly that I was stopped behind the van and the van pulled over so I thought it was part of the construction. He replies quickly with tone. You thought he was part of the construction with a statey in front of him. I said "yes" because that is how it works isn't it. I think he was just trying to tell me he was a statey. I said yes he was stopped and then he pulled over. He quickly said he pulled over because I told him to. He then asked me who do I know that's a cop and pointed to my front stickers. (the front ones don't always fly with states) I said my dad, but before I could finish he said. Do you think he would be proud of you? Do you think he would be proud if you got hit by that tree. (which was no where near me). Then be fore I could talk, which at this point I was speechless that he went there, he told me in the most condescending tone go then just go.
He treated me like I ran a red light. Reading between the line he made it sound like I pass 4 or 5 people cars not vans that were in the road and I was speeding through the site. He made it sound like I stopped much further in then I did and I only stopped because he stopped me, which he didn't. Like if he didn't talked to me I would have kept good. I already felt bad when I realized the van wasn't letting me pass him. He treated me like I felt better than everyone and could do whatever the hell I pleased even after I explained why I did it. I was clam and very clear, especially for me. I felt like he was just trying to get a rise out of me. He wanted to see me cry or yell. Which is a very smart thing to do. I'm going to create recluse drivers because I don't want to stand in the rain for and get payed over time for a few hours. He should be more professional than that. He basically told me I should have those stickers on my car and that I'm a horrible person all the time. I felt like he was judging me and assumed I was always a jerk. He inbaressed me in front of everyone. He stopped traffic to stop for me. I'm sure before he did that people just thought I did it for the reasons I did it.
I've been super upset ever since. This happened at 9:15. I keep crying. I started when I got home. I shouldn't be this upset. I know it wasn't my fault and it's not that big of a deal, but it really got to me.
