I was at traffic court the other day, wearing a nice skirt and blouse, high-heeled sandals, hair nicely done, makeup —the works — and during a break in the proceedings I walked out of the courtroom to warm up. Those courtrooms are freezing! Anyway, I walked out and there were several benches for people to sit on. The benches were filled with cops in blue. Other than that, the hallway was empty. When I walked out, all the officers noticed me (I was the only thing going on at the moment, and I guess they get pretty bored sitting there waiting for their cases to be called). Not one of them stood up to offer me a seat, they just sat there staring at me.
Right or wrong, it bothered me a little that not one of Honolulu's finest could get off his butt to offer his seat to a lady in 3-inch heels. I guess I'm a little old-fashioned in some respects. On the other hand, I can understand if a cop has to sit out there for two hours, he might not want to lose his seat. Or maybe they just thought of me as some perp or miscreant.
Just wanted to get that off my chest. Got my asbestos suit on (without heels), so flame away!
