Reply #43: My own little story...

though this wasn't a huge problem, it was still disconcerting. Over 40 years ago I had taken my husband to catch a ride back to Portsmouth Naval shipyards...it's about 10 pm...I'm 8 months pregnant...I drop off my husband....I'm driving back home in the rain...on an unfamiliar road...my german shepherd dog is in the back seat...I apparently pull out in front of a Highway Patrolman (how dumb is that)...he pulls me over...I start crying...the dog starts growling and barking...the patrolman asks why I'm crying and tells me he'd hate to have to shoot my dog for threatening him. He says to get on home and don't ever pull out without signalling again. Strange thing...he and my husband had the same name. He didn't have to say he'd shoot my dog. Just mean. No harm done, but he shouldn't have been so rude. IMO
