For me it was about 6 months or so ago.
A cop pulled me over while I was heading to the store with my mom. He comes up and says he saw me on my cell phone while I was driving. The thing of it is, I wasn't. I had my phone in my pocket. I show him this and he says
"Don't lie to me, I know what I saw"
I told him that he can look at my phone log, and msgs, that there's been no activity in hours. He says
"I don't need to see your phone, I know what I saw. Why are you lying?"
I told him that I obey the law, and don't lie when I'm caught. I then said "I swear on my mother's life, I wasn't on my phone". He then looked at my mom and said
"You gonna let him do that? Swear on your life when you know he's lying? I guess you didn't raise him very well"
I then start to see red. I turn to him and say
"What'd you say?"
He follows it up with
"You heard me. Perhaps you should have slapped him around when he was a kid, apparently you aren't much of a parent"
My mom then reaches over to me and says softly "Just let it go. Just let it go". Apparently I was shaking. I wasn't aware of that. He finally says
"I know what you were doing, and if you keep running your mouth I'll take you in. Now get out of here"
I've never in my fucking life been so angry. I mean, it's no contest, not even close. You wanna talk shit to me? That's fine. But my mother? No. Had he not had that bad I would have crushed his fucking throat.
You always hear about cops being pricks, but until it happens to you, you really can't understand the feeling of helplessness. It's a terrible feeling. I wanted to beat that piece of shit until he was choking on the shards of what were once his teeth.

That story just pisses me off reading it.
You should have called his bluff and made him take you in. You had the phone logs and your mom as a witness.
I've started turning my phone's video camera on if I get pulled over (just once). You just never know.

I'm a middle school history teacher. My school is divided into 2 separate schools: a regular school and a gifted magnet. We are all part of the same school with same office staff (principal, secretaries, etc.) but for accounting purposes, the 2 schools are separate. For 3 years, the history teacher in the magnet had been grooming me to take over her position and everyone in school knew I wanted her position. One reason why I wanted the job is because we have the best magnet school in all of Los Angeles School District.
When she was about to retire, the magnet part of the school needed to hire a new teacher. Thus, I applied. The other magnet history teacher I would be working with reviewed my resume to make sure it was perfect. The science teacher on my team wrote me a glowing recommendation. The teacher currently in the job wrote me a glowing recommendation. Another teacher in the magnet also retired (math) and they hired someone from the regular school with no interview at all nor opened it up to the entire district. They opened up the position I wanted to the entire district and I was the only one that applied. Thus, the position should have been mine.
The principal who was at my school was forced to retire a few months earlier due to a botched drug sting (we made national news about it); thus, we got a temporary principal for like 3 months. The previous principal loved me and everyone knew I would have gotten the job if she wasn't forced to retire. There was 1 day left to apply for the teacher job and I heard rumors that this new principal was trying to find anyone else to take the job. She didn't like me because I embarrassed (principal's words) a student in class because she did not put her name on a test. If a student does not put their name on a paper, I throw it away like most teachers do. Parent complained even though the daughter now put her name first thing on all of her papers. It was pure bullshit by the parent.
I went into the principal's office to find out more info on what is going on about the job and she gave me the biggest bullshit in the world like I am too valuable to the regular school or that I didn't have enough experience with gifted kids. It was pure crap. I told the retiring teacher about this and she went into the principal's office. She basically said flat out to give me the job and what the principal was doing was crap.
I found out the next day that another teacher in the regular school applied for the job. The principal came up to him at 3pm the previous day and strongly suggested to him to apply for the job. I was livid when I found out. Now, because 2 qualified people applied they had to have a formal interview process. It was a complete sham because I knew that he would get the job. If they didn't do the interview process, I could sue because I didn't get a fair shake.
The interview was pure bullshit. I brought tons of examples of student work which the principal & other interviewers never bothered to look at. I brought other examples of my work which no one ever bothered to look at. Entire interview was 15 minutes and I could tell that I never had a fair shot.
Of course, I found out at the end of the day that the other person got the job because the principal had the final decision. When she told me that I didn't get, she said that I am a great teacher and many people on this campus really support me but the other person was more qualified. I really wanted to give her a stone cold stunner, and a rock bottom to that bitch after she said that.

The problem with that is summed up in one word: "her". Women are horrible bosses. They let emotions trump logic. Sexist, maybe. But I've worked with enough women to know that is usually the case.
Speaking of horrible women bosses. I was working at a college of vet medicine. Loved it. Great co-workers, plenty of work to do so the days went by fast. It was a temp position, but was strongly implied that it could lead to something permanent.
The university has a policy with temps. You cannot work 12 months a year, you have to take a month off at some point. BS policy to allow them to weasel out of paying benefits to temps. So my month comes up, but my supervisor says numerous times that I'll be back after my month. So she bring's in this woman to temp for the month I'm off. I'm showing the new woman the ropes my last week and IMMEDIATELY she starts trying to cut me off at the knees. Questioning my methods on everything, making a big production so my supervisor sees. I calmly explain each issue.
Anyway, I leave and a week later the head of the temp office calls to inform me that they are sticking with the new hag and won't be bringing me back. I've temped in a few departments, and no one has ever ended the job through the temp office. She didn't even have the guts to tell me to my face.
Now the menopausal bitch that replace me has that job full time. When they opened the position she wasn't even selected to interview, but threw a fit and threatened to sue.

Fuck calling it sexist, man. Women don't belong in the field of business. Can you name one women inventor? Or even one invention by a woman? No.
Women's place is at home, raising kids, and taking care of her man. Sure, that sounds like a caveman, but it's true. And you know what? Their job is the most important. Raising kids, creating a fantastic homelife is so important, and for some reason these obnoxious feminist have downplayed it. So women are made to feel like they're inferior for wanting to stay home and raise kids. Women make less than us because they deserve less. They don't bust their ass as hard.
I hate working with women, especially older ones. The older they are, the more they gossip, play games, and act like complete bitches.
Greatest job I ever had was working at Hollywood Video. I loved it. I love movies, and loved all the people I worked with. I was the fucking MVP of that store. Our manager switched stores, and all of a sudden we got this chick hired on who didn't know a fucking thing....A FUCKING THING. Long story short, I quit within 2 months. She turned my dream job [as far as average job goes] and literally turned it into the worst job I've ever had.
