I turn my head to gaze in your direction. So what if I'm wearing shades, you know I'm staring into the back of your head. We make eye contact and I send my heartless stare deep into your very soul. You quickly acknowledge your obvious dereliction of driving, bow your head in obeisance, raise your hand in deference and humbly, albeit non-verbally, admit you suck at operating a motor vehicle.
I solemnly shake my head in disappointment, but benevolently allow you to proceed about your day.
That Look.
(I'm a Dad and a Motor. Man, my Kids are screwed.)
LMAO! Poor kids! I worry mine will find this out with their own dad. I lived past it all, but that look was a killer. Yes, I wish he would have taken away my Tv, Phone, anything but The look
ReplyDeleteha!! I Think alot of officers are blessed with that "look". Ex-FIL used to give it to me sometimes. Very good LEO friend gives it to me ALL of the time. Which usually results in the nearest projectile being launched at his head (Pillows usually, the occasional stuffed toy, or small child...).
ReplyDeleteLOL I hope you don't have girls because they'll never her boyfriends in the front door!

LOVE "The Look." Excellent parenting tool, and handy for substitute teachers as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing a smile to my dial MC. I'm so glad you use your powers for good and not for evil. Who knows what would happen if you gave the look without the shades. Scary stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou are my hero!
ReplyDeleteWish me luck getting my first LEO position, part time in a small town. 2 week academy.
That's hilarious and quite timely. I just got that look a few days ago...I'm usually not thinking about how much I suck at operating a motor vehicle (or how I think that speed limits are sometimes too slow) but usually counting my blessings that said cop is otherwise occupied/too lazy to pull me over. "The Look" is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED this post! And why? Because you know where you learned "the look". Oh how fun is this?!!
ReplyDeleteI have been contemplating a post on this very topic, but you beat me to it. Since it's you, I'll let it slide.
ReplyDeleteSometimes lunch is more important than a car stop. Especially when you've already been redirected from your "Code" twice by other, more blatantly ignorant drivers.
Traffic cops are humans too (even if their "compassion" was surgically removed when they got the job) and they have to fuel their human shells just like anybody else.
