Street Sweeping Super Sucks (Alliteration Rocks)

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.

Do you think she was so miserable because she is a woman or black? or maybe both?
