Beat this.
So this just happened. Shutting up work, walking through the carpark, chatting to one of my employee's about future work etc, and we are standing by her car. As we are standing by her car and talking, I see "old mate" out of the corner of my eye. You know old mate....you can just tell something is about to happen with this dude. He's not much older than me, kinda surfy looking, no shoe's, tatted up, yelling at the clouds. He looks in our direction and goes " ****ing help a dude out, I'm ****ing wigging out maaaaan".
That statement right there had me knowing this will be good. I mean it's still daylight at this stage. Wanders over with his laptop bag that appears to be carrying his thongs ? and dumps the bag on the bonnet. "hey man, i'm ****ing ****ed up and ripping on LSD and I cant communicate with the people in the pizza shop, could you go buy me a pizza?" "um..yeah nah I like, kinda know those people, and work here and stuff and.........hey man, you okay?" "aww man I just ate bulk lsd and I'm tripping balls and **** , hey! at least its not meth right? I'm from margies, I'm a ****in surfer maaaaannnn and I came down to see my kid and ****, and If anyone touches him I'll like tear thier ****ing heads off aye, but I got like $4.75 so can I buy a smoke off you". I decide to avert away from my stunned employee, and said " your right mate, you can have one, my cars over here..." We go to my car and my team member speeds away. I get to the car sit in the drivers seat while he says some equally spectacular ****.
This is where it gets good.
I'm rolling old mates smoke, give it to him, and as he stands up, he's like " **** its the cops aye? its all good its all good ", then proceeds to yell at them. I can see clearly that the reason that they are in the carpark is definately related to my new friend, and they do a u turn and block me in. So here I am thinking what the **** just happened? I just left work, ready to go home to help a friend with a job. Now I've got a level 7 LSD dealer who has sampled too much of his own product, and I'm now blocked in by cops, with this guy looking like my mate. He goes over and says gday and has a good old chat with them, and says he is pissed as ****. I dont know, but it seemed like the cops had dealt with him previously, as they were extremely cool. I ask out my door if they can move, as I have to go, and they can sort old mate out with out me.
This is when the cop calls me by name. I'm like " uhhhh yeaaahh...why? I get out of the car ready to declare full and utter innocence if old mate is caught with 100 lsd tabs and pulls out a gun, I met the dude like 3 mins ago, I've just walked out of my place of employment into this. He cooly says he thinks I have an unpaid fine, I walk over to the car and talk to the passenger, while I can hear old mate trying to contain his **** to the driver. Turns out I did actually have a small speeding fine. I said what a good driver I'd been, as I could see the screen, and my last driving fine was 15yrs ago lol, and he agreed. But it turns out, because i didnt know about the fine and it lapsed, my licence is suspended. **** I'm thinking - this is the most action packed 5 mins ever. But mad props to the police that were there. Old mate simply walked off evntually, they never even got out of the car.
I spent the next 10 mins with the passenger and thanked him, as I was actually glad to find out this way rather than at a later date. Changed my address around and sorted some stuff for me, said i could go home and pay it online. I was thinking..um how am I going to get home if its suspended? but the cop must of seen this and went " look mate, we dont want to bother hardworking people like yourself, I wont be back to the station for a good hour, just pop home and pay it online" He then proceeds to show me on his mobile phone how and where to log on, and how to pay it, and gave me my reference number to make it easy, while old mate driver smiled and waved at old mate, who had now jay walked across the highway and was high as a kite
