So, this was the second time this month my car got towed. After coming back from Puerto Rico and finding it missing the first time, I was glad to hear that it was towed because of a “Moving Vehicles Only-Tow Zone” sign that they put up with only 24-hours notice and that is was not stolen (stupid lazy ass neighbor who doesn’t realize that a) everyone moving into the city has to deal with walking a couple blocks to get their shit in their house and they can’t just tow their neighbors to avoid this and b) I do know where you live #40, welcome to the neighborhood asshole).
Anyways, the point of the story is that I got a ride from the Boston Police twice this month to the tow lot in East Butt Fuck Nowhere. Thus saving me probably close to a $40 cab ride (thanks Boston’s blue) each time. But I did have two different drivers.
Cop #1: Officer Bill: 47 years-young, 11 years on the job, he let me sit in the front seat with him. He’s moving to a new house, we discussed his wife and 4 daughters and how the 13 year-old hates him and the 3 year-old can’t get enough. We even talked about the life of a cop. When we got there, he said he would come in with me to see if he could get the towing fee reduced, and he did. Seriously, I wasn’t even showing any cleavage.
Cop #2: Officer Nyeisha: Early 30s, 2 years on the job. She opened the back door for me and I sat down almost breaking my ass on the hard, un-cushioned, plastic seat (seriously, can’t prisoners get a little comfort?). There was bulletproof glass in between us and about 10 minutes into the ride she asked if I wanted the windows open, which was good timing because I was about to pass out from the build up of my own carbon monoxide. After a fast speed ride without any convo (although she did put the lights on and use that weird honk once to get a car out of the way), she dropped me off at the tow lot, and gave me a smile as I graciously thanked her.
I am going to ask for Officer Bill next time. And I'll even show him my boobs, if he wants to see them.
