Has a cop ever said something to you which was completely unexpected?

My son looked at me and I nodded my head, and he shouted the order. The Chef just cracked up! And said “Coming right up son!” And then she said you? I said BLONDE! and that’s it. The waitress just walked over with the fresh brew of Coffee and brought the creamer over. The Chef personally delivered my son his food, 2 eggs sunny side up (headlight) and 2 thick cut bacon (tire tracks) and a small glass of Orange Juice and a Big glass of chocolate milk (made by hand), just blurted out “Your order Sir!”
Then comes Davey (DOT Boss of that construction site). He’s fuming mad, madder than the “Hell hath no fury” quote!
I parked my car (Parallel Parking), Got out and Mike immediately opened the door for us, and boomed out “THERE SHE IS! THE BOSS THAT CAUSED THE EXCITING MOMENTS!” I just stood there, had no idea how to react to that comment.
What is the one thing you don't understand that others do?
The coast was clear, and as for Davey (DOT), he was still in the back seat of the patrol car, the Sergeant had not decided to “just release him yet”, he was communicating over the radio of whether or not to have him arrested. (I still had the bad check in my possession.)
The DOT (today known as F-DOT) worked very quickly, they didn’t want Davey to wind up in jail, they WIRED the money to the payroll and then the Supervisor up there (Tallahassee) pleaded with them “not to proceed and destroy the bad check”.
Then the waitress wanted to know what my son wanted and he said 2 headlights, 2 tire tracks, OJ, Chocolate milk please.” Everyone was silent. You could have heard a pin drop. The waitress seemed to be slightly amused, and said “Son, wanna tell the Chef that, yell it out to him!”
Towns folks were all facing towards us, and I just said “Officer Mike? You were there. You can tell them the story.”
Mike, who was smarter than Rob, opened my car door and sat on the lower door frame and they communicated. Basically the DOT wanted him to give me a high speed police escort 11 miles east bound over by the construction location (yes, I was directed to the construction site for a reason) DOT’s check bounced and I ordered all my employees “DO NOT DUMP!”
Once my car was filled up, my son was waking up, as usual - Gotta pee, Hungry! My son went to use the bathroom there and came running back as fast as his little legs would let him go. I said “we will eat over there.”

He blasted him and said “My name is not Robin, it’s ROB, R O B (giving the letters out). ROB is short for ROBERT!” Guy over CB: “Same thing, you steal from my dad’s store so technically yeah, it’s Robin Hood.” They wind up bickering over my CB radio and the Cop was unaware his partner had pulled behind him and walked over, and he was eavesdropping. I am sorry, but the Officer behind him just shook his head and tapped him on the shoulder.
Mike then went to his police car and was talking over the radio, I was standing there, and glanced over him and he put a “thumbs up” and proceeded to get out of his car and walked towards me
Rob on the other hand, after Mike checked him, he had a big knot on his head and Mike sent him back the station, but first he wanted to know why he pulled me over? All Rob said was “I thought it was Crystal.”
The chef gave the Chief his usual, and without missing a beat the chief said “LOVER BOY NEEDS TO SETTLE DOWN AND GET MARRIED! NEXT WOMAN IN TOWN, HE WOULD MISTAKEN HER TO BE DOLLY (making big boobs sign) [Dolly Parton]!”
I was looking at my son who was asleep, when the Officer said “Crystal! Long time no see!” I turned and looked up at him and said “My name is not Crystal.” He just stood there. I am glancing at him. Then my CB Radio fired off, the DOT wanted to know how far away I was.
Once we arrived, Davey (DOT) came marching up, fuming mad! I told Mike to stay here with me, because if he tries anything funny, arrest him. They cut my company a bad check! My drivers needs to be paid! Mike then glanced down and looked at the check, State of Florida, Department of Transportation, the date, payable to my company, and the amount, and signed, with 2 Bank Stamps “DO NOT DEPOSIT AGAIN, INSUFFICIENT FUNDS”. I told the Bank to hand ME the original check.

Then Mike radio to the Station and basically told them what he was doing and why. The Dispatcher okayed it, and I followed him. I mean it wasn’t necessary to have lights and sirens on full blast out in the middle of a country bumpkin road, there were no traffic!
Then the Ranking Officer stopped him, and ordered him to go into his “little police car” and go back to where he came from.
I have no idea if I walked into the comedy department! It was hard NOT to laugh! Poor Rob, he’s being the butt of the jokes from there on!
The Chief said “Mike, you liar!” then turned to me asking me what happened “I said everything Mike said except the drama on the DOT Authorities, they cooperated, but not Davey DOT!” Mike stood there tall and proud.
Then the Sergeant ordered each DOT Authorities to “depart at once”, one by one, removing the handcuffs, once one was gone, then the next one until all 4 were out of sight. He then ordered the Deputies to “stand guard” after learning the routes the truckers took, so if any DOT Authorities pulls them over. He also handed each one of my driver his business card with his direct telephone number written on the back so if the DOT pulls them over, call him at once!
Rob became startled, jumped and bumped his head pretty hard on the door frame. (Ouch! That’s got to hurt!) Rob was walking over towards the hood of my car, rubbing the back of his head! The other Officer was amused.

MEANWHILE, A troop of 5 Sheriff’s Deputies all come zooming in! (Thanks Mike!) Well, the Deputies detained the DOT Authorities (handcuffing them and putting them in the back seat) - they were not arrested, they were detained!
The Chief then said “We never had this much excitement around here!” Then a brief pause, he then said “Mike? How did you and her connect?” He then said “Well Rob pulled her over.” The Chief just broke out in laughter and blurted out “I had to send him over to Doc, and Doc sent him home! It was Chrissy was it?” Officer Mike: “No sir, he thought she was Crystal.”
The Officer was a bit piqued, and waved his hand for me to answer the radio. I radioed back, speaking in CB lingo about being pulled over by a bubble gum machine at (giving intersection). Then the DOT asked me by any chance was that Robin? Or Mike? He then bent over and I handed him the CB, for some reason he recognized the DOT personnel who was on the radio.
It was amusing to hear Tallahassee DOT pleading over the Police Radio, they were in a frantic! They didn’t want this “broadcasted” on the news. Once he (whomever it was) that said “Boss, the money’s wired and deposited immediately.” I then phoned the Bank to confirm whether or not the payroll check went through. (It cleared!)
It was the only way the Deputies to put an end to this nonsense! None of my drivers are obligated to dump tons of lime rock to their destination. They do not work for free.
It was Davey’s attitude that got him arrested; for writing bad checks! (Under Florida law, a police officer can make a warrantless arrest for any felony offense if there is probable cause to believe: that a felony has been committed; and. the individual accused is the perpetrator of the crime.)

Then Mike finished it off with this grand finale “IF ROB KEEPS PULLING GIRLS OVER, HIS NOGGINS GOING TO BE OUT OF WHACK AND EVERYONE’S GOING TO LOOK LIKE FARRAH FAWCETT MAJORS!”
MIKE then went to them (DOT Authorities) and said “YOU DUMBOS! YOU CAN’T WRITE THEM CITATIONS! YOU GUYS HAVE NO MONEY! YOU’RE FLAT BROKE! I AM GOING TO ARREST ALL OF YOU FOR ….”
Davey (DOT) after seeing the check just said “I will be right back”.

It turns out, the personnel in Tallahassee (FL) cut the company a wrong check, it wasn’t supposed to come out of that funds, but the mainline funds. Yeah, I know, I already spoke with them after the 2nd attempt to put the check into Company payroll funds.
DOT personnel (Davey) was not! He kept demanding why he pulled me over, but Rob was over there on the hood and I responded that another Cop touched him and he whacked his head hard on the door frame. And immediately said “MIKE? MIKE? Do you copy?”
Once we arrived to the small town, I pulled over to get gas, I wanted to fill it up before leaving and the price was cheaper there than in the big city. Mike then got out of his car and said “Meet me over there!” Pointing to a small mom and pop restaurant. He then told “Bubbles” (? Yes, he called him Bubbles!) to c’mon over! He got some hot and juicy gossip!
Then all of a sudden BEHIND us were DOT Authority Vehicles, they were ordering my men to step out of their trucks and were ordering “licenses” until Mike told them “NOPE! NONE OF YOU GUYS DO IT!”
Davey(DOT) comes up and snaps ‘PLEASE TELL YOUR BOYS TO DUMP THE LIME ROCK WHERE INSTRUCTED’. I said “Once you give me a validated check and it clears, I will.” I held up the check with both of my hands so he could see the Bank’s double red stamp “Insufficient funds” and “Do Not Deposit Again”.
Then out of nowhere just before leaving this small town, the same guy, same car, blew his lights on and ordered me to pull over now! I glanced down, I was doing 33 in 35 mph zone. And I pulled over, my window was already down. I slid over to pull the registration out of the glove compartment box, holding that with my driver’s license in my hand, and plus my Federal ID card.
While we ate, Mike went to tell everyone right after Bubbles (Gas Station Owner’s nickname apparently) arrived. I kept shaking my head, and then Mike ends it with “And that folks was what happened!”
I then said “Boys. Rock and roll! Let’s go!”
Was driving along a country road, stopped at the 4 way intersection (4 way stop). There was a Police Car parked on the sidewalk. I mean, I went to a complete stop, there were 2 vehicles in front of me. When it came to my turn. I proceeded forward.
Then Mike told me to “follow him” back to the town (well, I didn’t have much choice, because I did have to return back to the main terminal/headquarters).
