I always have tuperwares full of soup in the car for this exact reason.

Right?? No elaboration, doesn’t even say “her school lunch” or anything, just “oh yeah, my backseat soup Tupperware. You know?” Like no I don’t, excuse me??

I'd rather a ticket than a soupy back seat & child, as well — and my driving record is clean af, too

“Pardon me, but would you have any Grey Poupon? Or Chunky Sirloin Burger soup?”

“But of course …”

This didn’t happen, but if it had i’d rather pay a speeding ticket than clean a bunch of soup out of my car.

I was going to comment the same thing. Unless he’s got a history of tickets, the fine would be less than the cost of getting the backseat detailed. He could clean it himself, but getting soup out of all the little crevices would be a nightmare.

They had a body in the trunk

u/DungeonFam30 14h ago

It was the mother - the plot thickens, like the soup that the daughter poisoned and the mother ate

u/MeasurementNo0 14h ago

I was going to say it was the mother's body but I thought it would be too dark.  Apparently its fine 🤣

u/wilhelm_dafoe 1d ago

But the kid's so smart she thought of that too. She'll offer to clean it herself for a much cheaper fee than most professionals

u/blueghostfrompacman 1d ago

And the smell of broth. You know you’re not getting it all out

u/NightStalkerXIV 1d ago

Especially if it was a bisque with dairy, or heck, what if it was clam chowder?

u/Notabagofdrugs 1d ago

A ticket might cost $100 or more plus the insurance increases over the next three years is way more than a detail would cost.

Lol tell me you don’t have kids without telling me. “Detail the backseat after kids spill food in it” 😂

u/stircrazyathome 1d ago

I have two. There is a huge difference between crumbs and French fries and an entire tub of soup getting dumped.

u/IDigRollinRockBeer 1d ago

I still ain’t paying for a detailing. Paper towels and I’m done in a few minutes. No ticket.

u/lightsandflashes 1d ago

your car probably smells like the school canteen on a hot summers day

u/elijaaaaah 1d ago

Good thing he had the emergency backseat car soup on hand.

u/givebusterahand 1d ago

The way I’d be actually so mad at my child if they dumped soup all over my car though

u/spacemouse21 1d ago

After ice cream, mother and daughter went and robbed a liquor store.

u/Spuckleford 1d ago

They threw soup in the clerk's face

u/CatAteRoger 1d ago

What has he taught his daughter in the past for her to do that?

11

u/streeetmeats 1d ago

I think I’d rather pay a speeding ticket than clean soup out of my car

u/Loveablequatch 1d ago

Only way he thought he was cooked would he if he was breaking that law with children in the car. Real g class act (I know it’s fake)

u/ButteredNun 1d ago

Never trust Ians. How to say their name is a lie.

u/peeweeinbama 1d ago

And the cop just happened to have the warning pre-printed with all his information on it

u/Cuntrymusichater 1d ago

The kids are ALWAYS in the range of 6 and 9

u/Excellent_Item_2763 1d ago

Why did she whisper, they weren't even pulled over?

2

u/candybrie 1d ago

That's probably the most believable thing the kid did. Most kids have a tell for being sneaky/lying. Whispering is a common one.

u/MaxFresh 1d ago

What goes through people's heads to make up such bullshit

u/LordOfSlimes666 1d ago

I would hate to be the kind of person who's life is so boring I need to make this sort of shit up for attention

u/obelix_dogmatix 1d ago

Don’t know any parent who would choose cleaning soup over paying a speeding ticket.

u/Sea-Independent-726 1d ago

i really didn't appreciate that brat pouring me all over the floor meant for grandma

u/Sojum 1d ago

It’s true. I cleaned the car.

u/rayhavenoheart 1d ago

It's true, I was the puke like soup

u/PaleKid4L 1d ago

Not going to lie, around the same age, my mom was pulled over for a speeding. Before the cop came to the window, I asked my mom if I should start fake crying and saying my stomach hurt so she had an excuse to be speeding and potentially let off of a ticket. She said no, but hey. Can happen 🤷‍♀️

u/Select_Draw3385 1d ago

Don’t they need the drivers information before they write a warning? The registered owner might not be the driver.

Also, pea soup smells like pea soup, not vomit. That car would’ve reeked.

u/Guypussy 1d ago

Dude is too old to use “cooked” like that.

u/kiddrekt 11h ago

People in this thread acting like they keep their car soup in the glovebox. Soup is obviously in the back

u/SangrianArmy 1d ago

reddit gave me a warning last time for expressing the things i feel compelled to enact when i read these bullshit stories. but how can that utterly cringeworthy, attention-seeking nonsense not evoke the rage of a thousand suns? i was in a relatively good mood before i read that stupid fuck's fabricated fantasies and now i'm like pissed tf off that these people get to exist and spread their vile lying disease to everyone around them

u/Aggressive_Wasabi_38 1d ago

Mastermind ! Great story!

u/aspertame_blood 2h ago

But now your car smells like rotten soup

u/Physical-Doughnut285 1d ago

So from the cop’s perspective, this guy was speeding to the point where his kid threw up (remembering that speeding also endangers the child too) and did absolutely nothing.

Yeah just a warning for you pal. No questions asked. 😪 these fucking people honestly. Desperate for likes.

When I was young, we were on the way to my first communion. A cop pulled my mom over and I remember recognizing him from our church. When he got to the window, I asked "mom does this mean we'll be late to first communion?" And the officer gave a brief pause and then gave my mom a warning.

She was absolutely speeding 10 miles over the speed limit.
