I got pulled over this morning.

Impressive tan? I'm guessing you put off some vibes. That's why he gave you his number.

Were you shirtless when you were driving?

(I also think people are taking the post WAY too seriously.)

what dives you any impression op has anything against homosexuality?

simply being pulled over by the police can be traumatic/ nerve wracking. then add to it sexual advances while you are in a very vulnerable position to a n authority figure?

very clear why that may be traumatizing, especially considering the cop likely has all the op's personal information now.

Being pulled over is nerve-wracking, that's for sure. And I don't disagree that leaving his number was unprofessional, but calling it traumatic? I feel like you must have never experienced an actual trauma to call something like this traumatic. As for me wondering about the homosexuality factoring in, it's simply because I feel like this thread wouldn't exist if it had been a female officer. I try not to make assumptions like this, but it's hard not to when it rings true the majority of the time.

Perhaps I am desensitized to these scenarios, as I have had men hit on me in situations that were incredibly uncomfortable - that would most definitely be classified as sexual harassment - more times than I can count, and the experience he just described wouldn't even register on my radar. I'd be relieved I didn't get a ticket more than anything else.

This sounds a little made up, but if it's not what a compliment! Enjoy the flattery and let it go. I would report it only if he propositioned you like let's do this or.... Since that didn't happen, let it go!

Post his phone number and we can all give him a call. "Hey, Big Boy, my buddies and I are doing "YMCA" nude and we need a Policeman."

I fear there is a misunderstanding here.

Whoa.

I gave the officer my ID. He knows my name and address. He then hands me a paper with a phone number on it. I just feel paranoid about it, that's all. When someone exhibits strange behavior AND they have your personal info.... doesn't matter if it was a smurf, that makes me feel uneasy.

Any cop that ever pulls you over any time would have that same info. Why does him giving you his number make you feel like that elevates his...threat level?

If he was giving off some bad/uncomfortable vibes beyond that however, I could understand your paranoia.

hopefully someone who has been through more traumatic events than you and more uncomfortable experiences than you don't simply discount yours cause they don't register high enough on their radar

Asking for more details about his strong reaction is not discounting it, and neither is me explaining my point of view on these kinds of situations. You've been making a mountain out of a molehill.

You're shaking because some guy gave you his phone number? I'm not entirely convinced that this story is even true, but you've got some issues if this is all it takes to freak you out. Chill, dude.

Call him and start up the Village People anew.

Not professional or a wise move while on duty, but OP would you report an attractive waitress who did the same thing? Or just feel flattered and move along.

Unless the waitress is legally empowered to shoot and/or detain you, this isn't a good analogy.
