We get enough people *where I live* that come to my door proselytizing that I really feel no need to further engage with strangers in an attempt to convert them into a Boxster-Beliber or enter into a gas station for something overpriced and processed in exchange for forthcoming accolades. But that's me -- I don't go looking for conversations in gas stations, parking lots, or elsewhere -- not when I have the internet!  Carry on.
I'll just go wonder if I should carry registrations, tax statements, retirement summaries, and pictures of other sources of wealth as I grab the list for Target -- just in case I'm stopped. |
Well, where I live, I got pulled over ALOT by cops to just want to make sure that my car is not a stolen vehicle (welcome to Detroit). Happened 3 times last year on me and twice I could not find my registration and ticketed for that. There are 2 sides/copies on registration papers in MI, so I left one in the car and the other in my wallet.
Well, this person in the gas station was driving an M3. I was there first and he pulled in and started the conversation.
