no way

2019-12-13 06:36:31 UTC  

I was in New York City about 10 years ago, riding the subway.

2019-12-13 06:37:03 UTC  

I had a small pocket knife clipped onto the edge of my pocket, like I always have had for every day of my entire life.

2019-12-13 06:37:21 UTC  

Short, legal in all places, no problem.

2019-12-13 06:37:28 UTC  

and I noticed that some guy was looking at me strange

2019-12-13 06:37:57 UTC  

and then I saw him again a few minutes later, after I got off of the subway

2019-12-13 06:38:12 UTC  

then again, going up the escalator, he walks past me

2019-12-13 06:38:28 UTC  

then he stops at the top of the escalator and waits for me

2019-12-13 06:38:36 UTC  

interesting

2019-12-13 06:38:37 UTC  

lots of people around

2019-12-13 06:38:41 UTC  

and middle of the day

2019-12-13 06:38:55 UTC  

he shows me his police badge and asks me what's in my pocket

2019-12-13 06:39:02 UTC  

bugger

2019-12-13 06:39:09 UTC  

he was wearing plain clothes (no uniform)

2019-12-13 06:39:46 UTC  

so I pulled it off slowly and said, "you mean this?" holding it in the palm of my hands, closed, not actually holding it at all with any fingers, but only letting it rest in the palm of my hand

2019-12-13 06:39:58 UTC  

he was so damn scared, that he nearly jumped out of his shoes

2019-12-13 06:40:07 UTC  

he jumped back and said, "be careful!"

2019-12-13 06:40:15 UTC  

it was closed!

2019-12-13 06:40:23 UTC  

See... Competence

2019-12-13 06:40:25 UTC  

and my hand was all the way open

2019-12-13 06:40:36 UTC  

no fingers were around the knife

2019-12-13 06:40:52 UTC  

if I rotated my hand 90 degrees, it would fall on the floor

2019-12-13 06:40:58 UTC  

and he was so scared

2019-12-13 06:41:02 UTC  

fucking NYPD

2019-12-13 06:41:03 UTC  

He got himself so riled up... like being an adrenaline junky...

2019-12-13 06:41:04 UTC  

LOLOLOL

2019-12-13 06:41:09 UTC  

yes, adrenaline

2019-12-13 06:41:15 UTC  

then he proceeded to ask me why I had it

2019-12-13 06:41:27 UTC  

To cut beef jerky

2019-12-13 06:41:32 UTC  

I told him it was a tool that I use every day...many times.

2019-12-13 06:41:43 UTC  

he asked why I needed it.

2019-12-13 06:41:55 UTC  

So yes, I told him that I open mail, open food, cut food, etc.

2019-12-13 06:42:14 UTC  

and then he begins to lecture me that someone could take it from me and hurt me with it

2019-12-13 06:42:37 UTC  

I told him that if someone wanted to hurt me, they would bring their own knife or gun, or anything

2019-12-13 06:42:46 UTC  

he asked for my identification

2019-12-13 06:43:10 UTC  

I showed him my Texas driver's license, and he said, "oh, you're from *TEXAS*...."

2019-12-13 06:43:22 UTC  

*"....that explains it..."*

2019-12-13 06:43:31 UTC  

I said, yes, I'm from Texas, and that does explain it.

2019-12-13 06:43:34 UTC  

and I left.

2019-12-13 06:43:35 UTC  

hahaha

2019-12-13 06:43:37 UTC  

Asshole
