What Are Those?
I’m the guy who was doing something suspicious.
When I used to work at a grocery store I would get off some time between 10pm and 12am, and I also preferred to ride my bike most of the year to save on gas. Since work was close to my house and there were few cars out I never really bothered with lights. Already suspicious I know.
Right around thanksgiving we would get in these massive stalks of brussel sprouts, which if you have never seen one they look like something you might find growing on an alien planet.
A solid 3 feet of little bulbs at the end of spikes basically. They were super cheap so I couldn’t pass up such a deal, but of course the only way for me to transport it home at night was to ride with the stalk sticking a foot out of my backpack.
I have no idea what the cops thought it was when they pulled me over. Weed? A weapon?
They were doing their deal where one talks to me and the other checks me out from behind when the one behind me busted out laughing. “Are those BRUSSEL SPROUTS?!”
They let me go a minute later. Story credit: Reddit / Wingman696969
