Coming back from the desert on the 8 last sunday afternoon......there is a place where the BP runs a checkpoint. They funnel all the cars, big rigs and mohos towing the sand toys down to one lane. It backs way up and can take 15 minutes of sitting to get through it.
Most frustrating on a sunday afternoon, everyone just wants to get home and we are tired and dirty.....The roadblock is up and we wait, and wait...finally get to one lane all nice and merged.....get to the checkpoint and its not monitered. Green light says pass on through....
6 (No exaggeration) uniformed BPs standing around at the top of the hill, drinking coffee and laughing it up. Backs turned to the long line of cars.
Its not so much that I mind waiting in line if we are having the vehicles looked at and checked, but to be made to wait for no reason is insulting. At least they could have had their coffee klatch meeting over near the line and pretended they were looking for illegals and terrorist invaders....
Rant mode: off. Thank you for your cooperation.
