It’s the worst when a cop pulls you over. Most are chill and might just ask if I had a speech impediment but some aren’t. I’ve had to get out of my car and let them search me and the car because of “s...

I agree. My father was a pretty much a Cornell educated useless POS that couldn’t be bothered to pay child support for his three kids. Once, when he was asking me a question and didn’t like answer I ...
