Two things bug me about law enforcement that I have witnessed. Hypocrisy drives me nuts.
Issue #1: WSP or local law going by me above the speed limit, no lights, just cruising along. Here I am watching my peas and cues and whoosh in the "fast lane" there they go. As I shake my head and chuckle (of course I can pick up the pace now because I'm "safe" :)), the officer exits off the freeway and guess what, his car must be so old it doesn't come with a blinker because it's not used. Now if he was behind me and having a bad day and I did something like that, I'm sure I will get a lecturing to and a fine.
Issue #2: I see this mostly at intersections, but how many times I can't count I see illegal traffic moves from others and a cop is sitting right there. Right in front of his eyes, someone speeds through a yellow light or makes a turn with a pedestrian in the crosswalk. Too busy to bust em? Trying to pick up the sprinkles in his lap?
Don't get me wrong, police officers earn their keep and do a great job for us all to feel safer in public but the only to break some of the bad habits is to practice them yourselves and if you see a violation bust em.

As long as they are leaving me alone when I am not asking for trouble, it is all good.
Have you ever seen anyone use the term peas and cues as you spell it? As opposed to "minding your p's and q's"? I have seen you use it this way before, so I am guessing you have a reason.
The grammar police.
Finally! Someone actually caught it. It's funny either misspellings or misuses seem to be accepted more and more. Some people it drives crazy and they have to say something. With myself I have found myself more and more just ignoring it and not saying anything. Maybe it's because as I get older I make more mistakes myself.
Just as an aside, "p's and q's" stands for pints and quarts. The bartender would have everyone hang on to their booze if a fight broke out. " Mind your pints and quarts gentlemen".
Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Câmera Digital, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://camera-fotografica-digital.blogspot.com. A hug.
Too comment or not to comment, that is the question. I despise cops and anyone else in the law enforcement field. I wish there was a way to do a survey one which one's ARENT crooked. Hmmmm....
