I had the strangest encounter today and just feel like I have to tell somebody about it

So much for situational awareness it seems. I get it, being focused on the activity at hand, but that can turn out pretty bad when you are a trooper alone on a scene.

That's the danger with in car computers. You really can't do computer work and be focused on your surroundings simultaneously. The absolute best you can do is break away on occasion and do a quick scan. Especially as the programs get more complicated, which they have.

Now, that said, I was one of the last groups of new officers to get issued stencils and have to hand draw crash report diagrams. The computer version is better in most every way. I hated drawing crashes. Or drawing. I was pretty good for an 8 year old...as an adult.

You should post some of those for Ingo to mock.

Now if the 3rd party had robbed either of you at gun point this would have been a better story.

Or if a user stopped to buy drugs from the offending party … that would have been great!

The guy asked you since you were obviously in charge.

Not to worry. Soon you will have a Police Wingman AI App on your phone to help with these situations. You’ll never wonder if you’re using the wrong pronoun again.

I do my best to avoid the public in general...

Amen Brother!

Terrifying thought.

I stopped and asked a mailman, ah mail woman, for directions yesterday. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

That's the femail man

I have to thank you. I made it to my destination on time and got my special package.
The way you were leaning on your car, just screamed cool. I knew then, that you were the knowledgeable
one in the group; with the cop oblivious and those other two looking like they couldn't find a turn signal, I
knew you were the one that could get me headed in the correct direction.
If I had known you were a fellow INGOer, we could've met for a pineapple pizza in Mooresville.

Stay away. I have a gun!

Just don’t bc stop at a post office to ask.

Those lazy c***s will tell you it’s not their job. (Somewhat true story)

They have a hard enough time delivering the mail.
Every time we get a sub, they can't find our address. (true story)

INGO delivers again.
Thanks y'all.

We could play a fun game, like: Crash on an S-curve or a mated pair of snakes that just ate a family of gerbils?

Speaking of fun, when we first got the computer crash program there was no image for a deer. There was a moose, an alligator, an armadillo, a tank, a tank turret, etc. etc. but no deer. We were told to use a moose and downsize it until we got a deer. The program had multiple layers, but once you saved it it was all one layer with things on top overwriting anything underneath, so I hid a tiny alligator under something, usually a bush or tree, in every crash report I ever did. There's no way to know it's there, but *I* know, and it amused me.

I could make an exception, though!

Your alligator isn't hidden under a bush.

OK, I'll chime. I was pulled over by a peace officer that said "I have been following you for miles, where are you going? " I guess he wanted to find the party also. (I know, lame)

I can't see an armadillo without thinking "walking belts and neckties, and boots for rodeo."

If you weren't aware, they pay $2.50 down in Halletsville, $3, maybe more.
