SPITTING!!!!!!!

[In trouble]

I finish work tonight, to find the British weather has once again lived up to expectation, and is lashing down. Hey hum I think, time to get wet.

Cycling through a residential street, I see two little angels stood at the side of the road. Something wasn't quite right about them, and true to form (or my inbuilt 6th sense) as I pass them, they both step out together and spit some horrible white gobby stuff at me, hitting me in the chest.

Now there's nothing i hate worse than a spitter, and the two lads were most startled when I turned round to confront them. so much so that they ran into a house, after shouting "Sorry Mister".

Que; Knock on door and speak to grandma, and tell her about the lads antics. At first she has little to say, until I tell her that I'll re-visit her tomorrow when i'm at work, and in uniform.

I leave then to the sounds of Grandma giving rock-all to the two lads.........happy days.

Otherwise an excellent ride home......Other than another gobby youth in another village I cycled through decided to step out into the road and hurl a bit of abuse at me.........Normally I have a good ride home with the wind behind me. Just not today.

nice work...
I presume by uniform you mean you're a policeperson...
or was it a bit of a bluff and you'll pop by tomorrow in your British Gas uniform?

Or Sally Army.

Seriously, I'd love to be a cop just so that I could be an off duty cop! :0)

I've been spat at, had stones and a can of beer thrown at me. As yet I've not been hit with anything.

Yesterday I saw this women on her phone in traffic...was sooo tempted to stop, knock on her window and hope that the yellow jacket and helmet camera made her think I was a police officer and she'd get off the phone...I chickened out though

Years ago I was an officer in the Boys Brigade. I was up in Stirling one night, going to a BB event, and I couldn't find it. I stopped and asked directions and the lady I was talking to was acting kinda funny, I couldn't put my finger on it. Later I realised that with my white shirt, black tie and black epaulettes with chrome badges, at a first glance I looked just like a police officer.

[PBancroft]

So... did you actually go back in the end?

 

[In trouble]

Two apologies later, and a genuine (I think) apology from Gran for their behaviour.

Tonight had a good ride home, clear skies, no spitting, and my favorite,.......passing 2 mile queues of traffic stuck on an A road.

Almost makes up for it.

 

[In trouble]

What? :0.

Like looking in a mirror

So far, I've not been hit by anything thrown by a human being.

Seems the squirells in Warwickshire have a better concept of trajectory dynamics than the Homo Sapien population.



Or did it drop the acorn and got lucky....

Good for you... and good for them I think as well actually.

Favourite "on duty moment" so far was when I saw a middle aged woman driver in a virtually stationary queue of traffic knitting.

I rode alongside the car, showed her my warrant card and shouted "Pull over."

She shook her head and shouted "No, it's a scarf ".........................
