I was camping with friends this weekend on a visit to my home area. I wake up on the day my lady friend and I are going to start packing up. Its like noon cause someone brought a gallon of fireball so I am hungover and not too happy. The friend i have been travelling with is cooking a hotdog with bacon wrapped around it over a fire. Not 5 minutes after my lady friend and I start packing up, two forest service personnel walk up on us. Oh we are in a fire ban, oh wr are in a high fire risk season. So a ticket for the fire is going to happen. My friend cooking on said fire INSTANTLY becomes a deaf mute who doesn't know american sign language and walks away. I tell them i have no ID but i can give them my information. They start asking about our vehicles. They are going to take my lady friend's car info. My deaf mute friend is three feet away as i explain how fucked up it is to let someone not involved get a ticket and i basically force my information on the rangers.
So as they're writing me the ticket they have us put out the fire, and the whole time I am talking about the fires i was RAGING for the last 3 nights and that it was utter stupidity for a fire during the day to be started, since we have propane cooking equipment.
He literally cooked ONE hotdog. Started a fire for ONE FUCKING HOTDOG.
Our other friend who was camping with us thanked me because they couldn't afford the ticket. I reminded everyone that I was unemployed as well, but I wasn't going to watch a FRIEND get a ticket for someone elses fuck up.
So hooray me, i get to postpone the rest of my backpacking/hitchhiking trip and find a way to pay a $235 ticket without compromising my morals and getting a job thats terrible for people, ie food service.
Oh and its just in time for me to spend my birthday questioning who the fuck my friends really are.
