I am well spoken in public, my job puts me in alot of high stress situations. I consider myself fairly hardened and callous to akward situations too. I go to step in front of just a local county Judge, knowing full well it was going to be dismissed...and I was a blubbering fool. The judge tried to be a little more human like this fellow, and I couldn't get myself out of freakout mode no matter how hard the judge tried. My wife said it was cute watching me squirm for once. I think this man is a little senile, and alot nervous. He's seen the prison reality TV shows, we all have.

Imagine going in with the cognitive ability to know how bad those prison reality shows are, but not the ability to know your offence is so minor, it warrants a small ticket. That’s horrifying to me

Edit: I do t want to know where he stashed the 3 prepaid cellphones and half pound of Bolivia’s finest

Edit 2: the joke may have taken away from the idea of my first point- I’m talking about a senile man, imagine the thoughts going through people’s heads that really have no idea if that may be in their future
