@educationallypsyched: Ok what could I have done differently here? I know honking isn’t the best, but I think getting out and going up to his car would’ve been way more aggressive 😆😆😆 #police #storytime #aita #teacherproblems #policeofficer
Sounds like he was in the middle of doing his job but like you said in another comment you thought he was “just hanging out”. Here’s something no one ever thinks of. You have no idea what kind of day he has had or what call he just came from. Maybe he just left a call where he was performing CPR on a 5 month old baby who ultimately didn’t make it or just told someone their loved one died in a car accident. And maybe he pulled in there for a minute to process it and now you come in and honk at him because “he was parked in front of my spot at the school.” Think about that next time

Why would you think it’s okay to interrupt him performing his duties? Yes, you messed up.

His delivery could have been better for sure, but I can definitely understand why he was bothered. He was likely focused and fully attentive at that time, and taken back by your request. Traffic stops are generally safe, but there’s always a risk involved. He was likely trying to be cautious and avoid distractions.

No lights and blocking traffic in a school parking lot at drop off time… he could have moved to a better spot. I probably wouldn’t have honked but I would have tried to wave at him. I don’t blame you. He may have been doing his job, but how was anyone supposed to know that with no lights on? And he pick a bad spot to handle it.

I would have gone home and told the office I was unable to park due to police activity

Take a few minutes to think 🤔 When has politely honking your horn ever gotten you the desired response? Do you think that this situation was similar?

Never had a single conversation with a police officer on duty where they haven’t tried to scold me. Like dude, i called you here to report something, why are you being so aggressive?

I would have parked somewhere else temporarily then come out later when he's gone to move into my spot.

Honking is obviously better (safer) than a person getting out of their car and physically approaching him. He was just embarrassed.

Yeah the only you could do differently is “Don’t honk at a police car” be patient & wait.

If it's your assigned spot, circle around and come back. No one else is going to take your spot.

I’ve never had an assigned spot at any of my sites, but could you just have parked somewhere else?

Could you have parked somewhere else until he moved?

If he was stopping someone else you definitely don’t honk and interfere 🙄

I would not honk at a police officer. What they are doing is more important than your parking spot. You should have gotten out of the way of the traffic jam you were creating.Park somewhere else until he is done or park somewhere else. He pretty much told you what you should do differently.

Call the department and file an official complaint, and a FOIA request to see what business he was actually doing.
