A Big Stink

We went to bed at 4 this morning, RC and I making love till the wee hours of morning. Essential oils filled the bedroom, and the tea lights danced flickers of ambiance across the room. It was all very romantic as I was given a massage and more oral attention than imaginable. We fell asleep, having sex, me laying on top of my man, and he adoring me.

This hideous wailing noise awoke us at 9:00, apparently that is what the alarm clock sounds like on just five short hours of sleep. There was no choice but to dress quickly and head out of the house. We made the drive out to the airport where I was gearing up for the arrival of my daughter from Toronto via Mexico.

RC and I were at YVR, in front of carousel #5 for about ten minutes before the RCMP showed up for us. Seriously, the RCMP came and asked each of us for our ID. Then asked us what we had been doing 5 minutes earlier as they pulled out their note books and started writing a statement.

Well my daughter is a minor, traveling un-escorted on Air Canada and we are here to pick her up from her holiday at the passenger pick up area. Though her flight is delayed an hour, so were are sitting here, waiting patiently, thank you for asking.

The RCMP demand to know again what we "had" been doing 5 minutes earlier, and I say "five minutes ago I was massaging RC's feet, though his socks, with his shoes removed." RCMP come back with rude, pushy behaviour and then tell us that we are not allowed to wait in front of the carousel for my daughter, but rather back behind some short partition wall. I point out the easily 60, I mean SIXTY other people waiting on "the other side" of the partition wall and the aggressive little male officer, named Hugh, decided to push himself in to our personal space despite having no grounds and not even a charge.

Suffice to say, by the time the Mounties were done there power trip, strangers were watching on, and were none to impressed with the antics of the officers. After hearing from the "public" that they planned on going home and making a complaint to the RCMP on our behalves, we decided to go home and do the same. An older man walked up to us after the incident and said he was ashamed and embarrassed by the actions of the Mounties.

Finding the head complaint officer by phone we were mortified to learn that not only did they have no grounds to move us, or to stop us, but that their behaviour was poor and lacking enough judgement that the Head Officer was now making a drive out the airport detachment to align the attitude of that crappy officer. An apology is apparently forth coming.

Officer Hugh is giving support to the negative attitudes held about our RCMP by the general public, much like Stinky Tink makes others look at the BDSM community in a not so positive light.

It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. And to smell a whole lot.
