Unwittingly, I was once the getaway driver in a weed robbery that took place in a 7-11 parking lot.
Seems relevant.
Do explain.
Well, I was 16 and naive. And very, very ignorant. So keep that in mind.
Also, sorry this is so long.
I was hanging out at my boyfriend's house and his cousin and cousin's friend were visiting (I think they were about 19-20, but I'm really not sure). Anyway, they asked if I could drop them off at some chick's house and I agreed. After we dropped them off my BF and I just drove around and got some food waiting for them to call so I could pick them up.
They finally called my BF and he told me to go to the 7-11 instead of the apartments where we dropped them off at. We get to the 7-11 and Cousin and Friend are standing in front of the store. My BF told me to park in the back, which I thought was weird but didn't question it. Then he told me to back in instead. I asked why and he just something like "no reason".
So Friend comes over and gets in the backseat and says something about wishing he had heat on him. I said "oh, are you cold? I can turn up the heater." BF and Friend just laughed at me, I was confused.
At some point a big SUV pulls up to the front of the store. I don't think I even noticed that Cousin got in it until I saw him jump out and start jogging towards us with big dumb grin on his big dumb face. BF tells me to put the car in drive, which I do but when that happens my doors automatically lock. So Cousin is trying to open the backdoor as I'm trying to hit the unlock button and BF and Friend are shouting at me to unlock the door. I finally get it unlocked just as the big SUV partly blocks me in. Cousin jumps in the back and throws something upfront to BF. He doesn't get the door shut and the biggest man I have ever seen before in my life hops out of the SUV and just starts wailing on Cousin in the back seat of my car.
BF and Friend are shouting at me to drive so I'm just kind of pulling forward and backward little by little trying to get out of the parking spot without hitting the SUV. The big dude finally let's up on Cousin and starts walking to the back of his SUV. He turns and shouts "Don't you hit my fucking car!" To which I respond "I'm sorry! I'm trying not to!", because I have manners I guess? Anyway, I finally get out of the parking spot and just gun it over the curb and down the street. I think it took me a good hour before I finally stopped shaking.
Sex related FFFC: My high school BF and I were having sex in the front seat of my car one night (in the high school parking lot about ten houses down from both our houses).
Out of nowhere three cop cars surround us and turn on their lights and sirens and rush up to the window. Naked ex BF jumps off me, I roll down the window. They grill us and are all "ma'am is this man forcing himself on you" and such. I convinced them it was consensual but they still asked for our licenses.
Two of them come back to the car after running the licenses and say to ex BF "how do you know George Zxsdjlensnd". Ex says he's my uncle (also it's his godfather - he raised my ex bc **trigger parent loss*** he lost his mom as a child). And he flashes light on me and says and how do you know Pam snbrtjkssndb. I said "that's my mom".
Cops turn to each other and laugh and say "both of you get the hell out of here". Apparently they all went to high school together (same HS we were boning at). Ex's uncle also still plays softball with/ag the cops every summer.
This ex and my family are VERY good friends, his uncle/godfather and my uncle/godfather are best friends, play softball together (ex is on this team too). Last summer H and I were at a game and they were playing the cops team. We're all drinking beer after the game and cop goes, so you still driving that old Jetta (and flashes ex a look).. Ex and I diiieeeddd..
FFFC (probably not with you folks, but according to my facebook feed): I don't think there is anything wrong with having multiple ultrasounds during your pregnancy. I want ALL of the ultrasounds and more.
I'm so irritated. I wish I could be a crunchy granola pregnant person, but I can't. I mean, you do you, but I'll take all the tests and do all the ultrasounds. Don't judge me for it.

Eta: this is related to a post I saw about someone saying it's best to avoid ultrasounds during pregnancy.
Man, I'd be fucked if there was actually anything wrong with getting them. I get one at least once a week, sometimes more. I'm totally team #alltheultrasounds.

Also, not sure if this has been mentioned but the amount of people in jail or prison for marijuana is stunning. And their sentence is RIDICULOUS compared to more serious and DAMAGING crimes. I can't believe we are paying so much of our tax money to keep these people in jail.
Not to be a thread downer, but it is institutional racism. Just something to arrest black men for. It makes me sick that I can pick up 1/4 in the kroger parking lot and drive home with it in my purse and not think twice, and a black man got a 13 year sentence for having 2 joints on him.
That is the biggest reason I fight for legalization, I can get it and smoke it even when its illegal without any fear of legal repercussions, but there are black men getting arrested for it because it is the only law they are breaking and they need to get arrested for something. That is absolutely reprehensible.

My high school BF had a thing about no sex on Sundays and we were leaving a party late Saturday and he was like "I guess no sex tonight since it's almost midnight and it will be Sunday when we get home". So I told him to just pull over behind this random building and we'd jump in the backseat.
A few minutes later we see flashing red and blue lights. The cop walked up slowly so we had time to get covered. Turns out that the random building I pointed out was an elementary school. He ran our IDs and let us off with a warning since we were both 18.
