The hardest job in Texas, or anywhere for that matter, is being a police officer. That's why it's best not to know some of these things about their job.
Even though I'm a native Texan and have lived in East Texas since I was a tween, I wasn't aware of that. I found it particularly interesting given that we live in such a lake-centric area. I love getting out on one of our East Texas lakes and feeling the daily stresses just start to slide off my psyche that butter on a hot roll.
We've all that moment we really needed to pee but there wasn't a bathroom or porta potty nearby so we hop into an alley to pee. If caught, can that come with some serious consequences in Texas? I find out the answer for you.
There are some behaviors many of us have seen that may immediately come to mind. Brazenly cutting in line is a HUGE no-no. That should be a given. Insulting people seems fairly obvious, but I've still seen it happen. Heaven help the person who goes after the last bag of Flamin' Hot Cheetos when THESE people are nearby.
And so, that flat space above the refrigerator seemed like the PERFECT place to put things that had nowhere else to live in my kitchen. After all the pantry space in some of these places wasn't 'ample,' either but hey--we do what we must.
Until we find out we shouldn't. Ugh. So many 'shouldn'ts,' aren't there?
But once you go through these items, I think it's easy to see why this matters.
