I had the same BS on the US N.Y. border at the Rainbow bridge...you working, nope not at this time...me is a US citizen going to the State Park to checkout the Falls close up while on Holiday in Niagara Fall.
So on to have you ever been arrested, I go no. He asks again, I go no again. Ever, ever, ever...well I'm tick now, so I switch to "not that I can recall officer". Asks again, I give same answer. This goes on for a bit longer.
He then starts talking down to me like I'm stupid.....So you come all this ways by yourself to just look at the Falls? I go, YEAH...and then add, well I did go to Fort Erie to the horse Racing track, seen the Fort there too. There is the Casino here also...Windsor stinks, me don't like that place so much I go over here to Niagara Falls.
I know darn well he thinks I'm "whoring around too"
but of course just went along with his little game of making me look dumb.
After like 10 mins of his BS at the booth, he takes a sigh and asks me to pop the trunk and hand me the car keys. Looks in my trunk for a min and slams it shut, hands me back my keys and passport saying I can go. I give him a big thank you and took my sweet ass time, placing my passport away. Finding the right key to place in the ignition to start the car. SLOWLY creep out from the booth and slowly head to the N.Y. State Park...screw you asshole, I said to myself.
