    I AM GOING TO YELP THEM SO HARD

    actually I wont because yelp is useless

    So instead I guess I will do nothing.

    You should haveve asked to speak with a manager and complained. Then complained to the BBB if the manager had the same sort of 'tude.

    Doing nothing fixes exactly that.

    probably

    I wasn't really in a state to do that though. I was torn between flipping out and getting out.
    Get the whole forum to yelp them! That will show em!

    No that would be raiding and is a bad idea. Also I am under the impression that yelp allows establishments to pay to have bad reviews removed and removes good ones if they don't pay, however I only know this from hearsay but it would make sense. I googled it and the sites that state this do not seem trustworthy so maybe they are alright afterall. I dunno.

    Guys you know what is delicious

    salted chocolate
    mmm

    I really think it is the best chocolate

    I've never had salted chocolate BUT I'm pretty sure that same flavor combination is what makes chocolate flavored pretzels delish.
    Yesss

    You should try it if you can find it

    Choxie, the brand of chocolate that Target sells, makes it

    We only happened to pick it up because they put all Choxie bars on clearance

    I hope they're not discontinuing it!

    @Janson: You're from Sheff too? Nice :D Your location says California, sounds like a nice upgrade from here.
    I am originally from the south of England but I lived in Sheffield for seven years (left there last year)

    Yeah, California is pretty sweet! Sheffield's a great city too, though

    Ideally I'd combine San Jose's weather, decent salaries and great stores with Sheffield's nightlife and surrounding countryside

    just got pulled over by the cops while driving around

    turns out my taillights were out (it wasn't that dark when i started driving so I didn't think about it that much when I got in)

    funny part is I don't actually have my license yet

    when you can, always pull off into a parking lot.

    goes a long way towards your dealings with officers.

    also, take your sunglasses off and put your keys on the dash.

    Also be as courteous as you can manage. There are a lot of what my dad refers to as 'asshole offenses', which are laws that are so obscure no one except the police even know about them anymore. Generally they don't bring them up, or at worst will mention 'hey just so you know that's technically illegal', but if you're one of those guys who starts spouting off about how you 'pay their salary' or such, well, I've been told there are on average four or five things in every traffic stop that could be ticketed that never are. Unless you're that asshole.

    That doesn't mean kowtowing to them, of course, but don't start spouting off to them.

    The one time I got pulled over was right next to a gas station

    So I just turned in very smoothly and calmly and pulled right under the light so he could see what was going on and killed the engine and threw the keys on the seat next to me

    Also plenty of "yes sir no sir yes sir completely unacceptable never happen again sir I promise sir"

    Didn't spit out sir that many times in basic

    if you're gonna argue with anybody, argue with the judge.

    There's a lawyer up here who is a complete jerk. He has, pretty much since he started as a lawyer, had a huge bone to pick with the police for some reason or another. He is notorious for overreacting about every single thing the police do as well as just being a giant gasbag of ego - this is a guy who started his own Lawyers Association (we already had the Association of Criminal Lawyers, he started up the Criminal Lawyers Association) so he could be head. He has a son who's heavily into drugs, and he will constantly call the police on him - but when the police get there, he instantly turns into 'you can't do that, I'll sue you if you do that' and basically prevent them from doing their job.

    Anyways, he also used to have a bit of a speeding problem. The first few times, he was pulled over by rookies and such and was usually able to browbeat them into giving him either no ticket or the smallest ticket possible. One day, he had the misfortune of running into my dad, who was a senior sergeant with (at that point) 26 years on the job. He tried the same stuff, and by the end of the stop, had something like fourteen tickets. He then lost on every single one of those tickets when he went to court - turns out the judges hate him too.

    It always brought me a small amount of joy, because I've read the guy's letters to the editor and he is just despicable.

    Best you can do is know your rights, accept what you did wrong, "yes sir/no sir/ma'am" your way through it, tell'em good day, and go on about your business until you mail off the check to the court or show up to court and hope the cop don't show.
