    I’m sitting outside at my other side job (I have two) playing on sos and an older man walks by tells me to have a good evening then stops and says he’s not trying to be flirty but “you are such a pretty officer.” I put my phone down and said “Well thank you. Those are kind words.” He asked if I was married and I hesitated and said yes I am. He walked off saying “lucky rascal” (about H).

    Rascal’s a word but I’m thinking more unappreciative asshole is what my h is.

    I needed that compliment today.

    H is working solo at my other job tonight. I hurried to leave my squad car for him and empty it so I wouldn’t be around when he pulled up. I got in my personal car and waited across the parking lot til I saw him getting in the squad car then I drove off bc I can’t leave work before a certain time. I’m sure he thought I was inside til he saw me leave. My personal car has dark tint. After I got to this job I had to deal with one of my regular ‘problem children’-resident crazy guy-he made me chase him through this big ass parking lot so I called the Calvary for help. The officers caught him as they pulled up. H text me afterward asking is everything ok? I text him back with the report number to read. Didn’t feel like “chatting” with him about it.

    So I was sitting here feeling out of shape and tired of having his pa shit on my mind when a stranger says a kind word.

    I didn’t realize your H was a cop too!

    I have been treated with more generosity, humanity, care, and kindness by complete strangers than I have by my SA in the past 2 years. Just recently I was mailing a letter and it started raining. An old Italian man in his 70’s ran up to me and asked if he could send my letter for me because he didn’t want me to get wet by the rain. He was so sweet.

    Liza, it’s every time I freaking walk in here.

    After nutjob was hauled off we had a shoplifter. I was searching him and he was whining about going to jail and his breath was so foul!!

    I said “Damn dude, you should’ve stolen a toothbrush.”

    The other lady in there with me busted out laughing.

    I need to write a book

    Yeah my H is Victoria. Not a very smart one next to me but one none the less 🙂

    You should definitely write a book! A trucker honking at me can make my month (and how pathetic is that?) so I get how welcome the compliment was. 🙂

    I remember the days when we were dating. I was waaaayyyy thinner. I came out of 7-11 while he waited in the car. I had on jeans and snug top. H said when I got back inside “that guy there was eye fucking you.”

    Had I known then what I know now about him being the king of eye fucking a female my reply would’ve been a little stronger than “oh, please, whatever.”

    The stranger was absolutely correct Kimberley You are one HOT officer. It is a shame our men couldn’t see what they had right in front of them. Xx

    Yep, it has nothing to do with us, but it sure can take a toll on our self-esteem. Your life would make a great TV show, Kimberley.

    I guess it is going to take Hugh Jackman before I am moved by a compliment – my last one was the Canadian customs officer who looked like Barney Fife and completely creeped me out!

    We almost were on tv Teri. A show producer called me wanting to know if we’d be interested in participating on a show highlighting the family dynamics of police officers. Me, h and my sibling with our kids.

    I had to decline. I don’t need any highlighting of my shit on a national level.
