Yesterday, we had occasion to go down town on some errands. Neville drove me to one of the electrical stores. There is a clear view of the police station from it's location. He observed a police vehicle drive down the main street from the station. Nothing untoward about that, except, there is a STOP sign on that side of the street, as there is on the opposite side. He observed the police vehicle drive straight through without stopping.
Later, we were looking for a parking spot further down the street. Funnily enough, he found one, right behind said police vehicle. As he was trying to back in to it, the woman in the car behind him pulled out and got stuck because she can not drive properly. She did not drive her car out at the correct angle and was too close to ours. She then proceeded to blast us on her horn. Neville was waiting for her to move off, but she kept honking. Then she could not move off as a car was coming from each direction on the street. Eventually, she pulled out and drove off. All the while this was taking place, the police officer who had ignored the stop sign at the other end of the street, was watching the proceedings. The irony is not lost on me. When Neville was finally able to back in, another woman on the pavement was 'directing' him in!!He was not impressed.

I bet he was fuming. Not that I'd expect the cop to do anything but the fact that someone felt that he needed assistance would really get to him.
