I don’t work there lady!

I work as a Deputy Sheriff in the county where I live.

My girlfriend works in a city about 20 miles from there in a neighboring county.

She comes home from work with a terrible ding on the rear bumper of her Jeep.

She proceeds to tell me how she was parked at the pump while she was paying for gas.

This man’s girlfriend told him about the accident she experienced.

The story I hear is that she watched a guy rear-end her and drive off.

All of this happens around 7:30 a.m. as she is on her way to work.

So she arrives home around 5:00 p.m.

And starts telling me all about what had happened that morning.

He learned that his girlfriend failed to report the incident immediately.

I asked her what department ended up taking her report.

As I’m somewhat unfamiliar with the area where she works.

Turns out she decided she would wait until she got home to file an official police report with me.

Nearly 10 hours after the fact, in a different county, where I don’t work.
