I was expecting a mid sized package yesterday at my box. Well, I checked the tracking number the day before and it said it was delivered to the customer, but in a town about 30mins away from my box?!?!?
I was very nervous about picking it up. So I woke up, skipped breakfast, cleaned house, gave money to a friend for bail...I was expecting the worst case scenario.
I drove to the area. It's a large mall-like parking lot with a huge supermarket, so there could be cops everywhere and I wouldn't spot them. I circled that parking lot for 40 fucking minutes.
I finally parked close by, facing the mailboxe place. As I'm about to cross the road, this white van pulls up right in front of me, passenger side facing me. Two men in the front yell out "Hey!"
I haven't picked up the package yet so I'm not freaking out, but I was already edgy.
The other guy looks at me, smiles and says "You wanna buy a stereo?"
I look in the back of there Van, there are about 10 stereos. I told them I was busy and wasn't interested.
Went in, and I'm relieved that the package was there. But now, I have to walk out with it.
I finally get to my car, throw the package on the backseat, turn around and there is a man holding a wallet at my window. He flips his wallet open. It's a "Sergant" police badge.
He starts yapping and at this point I'm not even listening since I was getting mentally ready not to say a word, thinking about which attorney to call...
Well, it turns out he was bitching because I was parked in a restricted zone, authorized parking only. I apoligized, I'm sorry officer, blah blah blah, and he let me go but only after talking to me for about 5mins about various things since he found me to be very respectful and nice.
I put on my safety belt and drove at 50km/h all the way.
