Michigan hates me

Sooooo.. I got a speeding ticket coming up here after Thanksgiving break.. Props to the Michigan State police officer who was doing his job while monster trucking through the median to pull over someone going 5 MPH over the speed limit while everyone on the road flew past me. I hope it made you sleep better that night knowing that you targeted out of state plates. AND since my license is from the far more superior state of Illinois, he decided it was a good idea to either make me pay $100 on the spot or confiscate my ID.. Like I carry $100 on me at all times?? So this damn state has my ID.

But this leads to my next story..

Wal-Mart: 11:00pm Wednesday December 2nd

Me being a sucker for the $5 movie section stumbles across this gem:

$5?? sure why not?

Apparently the fine employees at Wal-Mart take their job very seriously.. And think i look under the age of 17??

No ID = No movie for me. And apparently a college ID doesn't mean that i'm at least 18?

Kelly offered to show his for me but then that would mean he is "buying it for someone under the age of 17"

This reminds me of another time I had problems in this town.. last year at The Spot,

I was walking down to Ian's to meet the rest of my house and i decided i wanted to get some beer so i went in to buy 2 tall beers. Apparently my OWN ID didn't look enough like me for her to believe it was real and since it was 5 years old, the barcode on the back wouldn't scan.. Meaning she wouldn't sell to me. I told her to call it in because this was rediculous. So she did.

The Marquette police department searched my name, no records.. OF COURSE I DONT HAVE A RECORD IN MICHIGAN. I'm from ILLINOIS. So the dumb officer told her it was a fake ID and to confiscate it. Now i got pissed. A kind customer told me to call the police and have an officer come to the store. So the clerk holding my ID asked if I wanted to do that, of course i said yes. But i believe it went like this:

"Yea call the police! You're gonna feel bad when I'm right."

Then a kind older man chimed in:

"Don't call the police if you're not really 21."

Yes, sir. I'm going to call the police on my OWN fake ID.

So after the officer came and did the SAME search as the officer and came back empty AGAIN, he searched my actual drivers license number and finally found me. After commenting on how young i look in it he said to the clerk "Well, it looks like him enough to me, but it's your call"

You are a police officer!! It's your call!

Anyways, I did come away with this beauty:

Anyone who hates on snuggies doesn't know how to use them.

SO that was my rant. Michigan hates me and let me tell you what, the feeling is mutual right now.
