Orange is the new black

Daily writing prompt
What are you most proud of in your life?

I’ve actually never been in jail, which I am proud of. Like not even the drunk tank for a night.

I was in the back seat of a cop car once, scared out of my mind…

My mom friends and I left our work Christmas party in a cab and decided to go through the McDonald’s drive-thru at 1 am cause, why not. Our employer gave out taxi slips to anyone leaving the party and not wanting (or able to) drive. So the ticker was ticking at the expense of our work, not our own purses.

While in the drive-thru, I noticed we were behind a police car. For some reason I decided that I need to get out of the cab and go knock on the window of the police car. The police officer rolled down the window and I said hey, just for a joke can you put me in the back of your car and scare my friends who are right there watching, and make it look like you’re arresting me?

Well he picked up right where I left off and before the words were out of my mouth he, in all seriousness, (and actually looking a little annoyed), got out and put me in the backseat.

I was so scared. I thought he didn’t find my little prank funny and was actually arresting me for being a nuisance. A tad bit drunk nuisance.

Anyway after my heart pounded for about a minute, he came back to the police cruiser and let me out and everyone had a laugh.

But at least I’ve never been in jail.

  2. 🤣 Hilarious! Now I have to know what your friends did or said? That cop was a good sport! Funny story:
    My car broke down on the way to take my oldest daughter to see her girlfriend in the beginning of 2021 – and when the cops came as we waited for the tow truck – one offered to take us home.
    When he opened the back of the cop car for us to get in, my oldest (who has never been to jail or in the back of a cop car) joked and told the cop, “Oh, that’s awesome! I’ve always wanted to try this!”, and she got right in.
    LOL.

  3. That’s a pretty funny story! I think police get a bum rap a lot of the time and most of them are pretty regular and nice people dealing with a high stress job. You probably made his day and gave him something fun to do!

  5. We were TPing a friend’s house for his birthday. As we started to run away a police stopped right in front of us. Before I knew it my two friends and I were in the back. We were seniors in high school at the time. We were talking about how we might miss graduation if we were in jail. They made us clean it up.
