    I was basically having a bad day anyway...but while at the library this large man came up to me when I was putting the kids into the vehicle and said to me quite aggressively 'you had better get that car washed'.

    Um...ya. Like I don't have better things to do with my day.

    I told him it wasn't dirty, but did admit that it was dusty since we like out of town and have to drive on grid roads. Do try to be nice in RL so didn't say much more than that.

    He then told me didn't care where I lived - he was the vehicle inspector and he was sick and tired of seeing dirty cars driving around town. Then he started asking me where I lived, blah blah :spanishinquisition:over a frigging car wash.

    I told him I wasn't aware of such a thing being a vehicle inspector's job and perhaps we should take a picture of my vehicle and his vehicle and call the police for their opinion on the matter - and pulled out my cell phone and started punching in numbers (really wasn't punching in anything in particular but HE didn't know that).

    He backed off and said that he would give me an exemption this time since I was out of town and hussled his chubby butt into the library.

    Honestly wasn't aware that there was such a thing as vehicle inspector's to check to see if they were too dirty but didn't want to make too big of a deal about it in case it was actually part of his job. But my husband and some friends of mine got pretty excited over it....but suspected that the poor man might have had a few mental health issues and just left it at that. But very strange.

    By the way this has absolutely nothing to do with my thread but think that this icon is freaking hilarious :Pms:

    Its just odd. Is there an actual job description like that? Or was it just some strange man being a bizarre bully?

    I've had weird things like that happen.

    And when I tell people about it, they act like I made it up or something ... "how come nothing like that happens when I'm around?"

    Fuck, I don't know. I'm wondering why does it always happen to me!

    People try to sell meat on the street here occasionally.

    This guy was not who he said he was.
