I love helping people.

Today I got to help get someone a well-deserved traffic ticket on the way home from mailing off my tax paperwork.
I was in the left lane heading East coming up to a light that I had the green on. A car on the south side of the intersection wanted to go East as well - and they did, widely and slowly into my lane, cutting me off pretty badly.
My spidey-sense had already told me they were going to do this, so I was on my brakes as soon as they started moving - and my horn as soon as it was clear they were coming into my lane.
They got ten seconds of angry horn and I got the finger.
However - the white Yukon that was in line to turn behind them had “Fort Collins Police Department” in big letters all over it.
They pulled out, passed me, got in behind the sedan and hit the flashy-lights.
That made me all warm and fuzzy; I gave the officer a big thumbs-up when I stopped next to them at the next intersection as he was on his way to the side of the road with the sedan.
