Ugh! Mom was taking me to school today and when we got to the light, some guy we passed told us to roll down his window, then started lecturing about how it was a 35 zone, not 40 or 42.
By the way, Mom is very cautious about the speed she's going.
So she's just kinda "Yah, thanks.." and rolls up the window. Then later on, when we're going down the by-ways he turns his lights on. Oh joy, we just miffed a (supposedly) unmarked cop.
So he comes up and starts lecturing us again about speeding. Dad used to be a freakin' cop, Mom knows the procedure for these things. She asks for ID. He flips out a badge. Not picture ID, a badge.
Okay, so far his evidence of being an actual officer iiis.. lights and a badge, both of which can be bought off the street. The guy wasn't even in any kind of uniform! He looked like he was going to work in a freakin' office building.
I wish I knew more about cop procedure just to know if he was bogus or not. Alas, he lectured us and informed us the driver-side brake light was out. Then he left.
Then as we were driving away, Mom glances at me and says, "...His badge said immigration. He was SO far out of his jurisdiction."
At the time I was just like, "Whatever, he's a freak agent on a power trip.. or bogus."
Unfortunately, we didn't think to get his license plate number.
But this leads me to my next point, the one which conjurs a rage that needs to be calmed. When I got home from school, Mom mentioned that when she talked to Dad, Dad wondered if the guy had something else in mind until he saw me and all the kids.
The very THOUGHT of someone wanting to do ANYTHING to my mother makes my blood boil. I don't know if it's protectiveness of her, the baby, or both that enrages me so much, but it doesn't matter. The point is, it does.
"Federal agent" or not, no one is going to do anything to anyone in my family unless they have a VERY good reason. Like they've been a brutal ax murderer for years and have just now been found out. Which would.. y'know.. break me. But that's besides the point.
If anyone did/tried to do anything to someone in my family, it would be one of those situations where size and skill no longer matters. If you're trying to hurt them, I will do whatever I must to take you OUT, and pain no longer exists.
It's almost scary to think of me in that state. I have had nightmares about what would happen if I snapped like that.. thankfully, it takes a LOT to fully enrage me to that point. I've never even come close, despite a few minor offenses towards my siblings.
I get irritated and upset a lot, but never enraged to the point of snapping and giving over to "the dark side" of my psyche. Maybe a better term is my "Hyde".
Either way, I must now go watch the dancing chibi and play Deus Ex to release/calm the rage.
Edit: Oh, and I forgot this part.. on a slightly happier note, it does wonders to just know a situation. Got a Mech-Mail from Gabe saying he was grounded for a stupid reason, couldn't explain now, and would later.
Big surprise, ne? XD I'm just wondering what he did to tick Rob off so much that he's been grounded for almost two weeks. ._.;;;
Alas, now I just miss 'im. Which is much better than being irritated, I can deal with missing. ^^;; As long as he's not on another one of those grounding sprees that lasts a solid several months.. that would suck. o_o
Either way, I'm significantly calmer now. Ja, minna-san!
