I fought the law and .....

The following is an dialogue which took place between a TTC employee and me the other day.

Scene: afternoon, outside the subway/bus station.
Enter stage left, our main character, AJ carrying a couple of bags of shopping, on her way home.
A man runs in front of her and jumps on a waiting bus.

From behind (aggressively)"excuse me"
AJ assumes that man who ran in front of her bumped someone else who is less than happy about it so ignores the shout and carries on.
Again- " Excuse me"
Still no response from AJ.
And a third time even more aggressively"Excuse me"
AJ turns around to see two 'Constables' advancing towards her.
Cont 1(no that's not a spelling mistake): Where are you going?
AJ: Why?
Cont 1 : This is a fare-paid area and you haven't paid.
AJ: All I'm doing is walking across the car park and out that way (points to street, 20 feet away).
Cont 1: I can give you a fine of $500
AJ: For walking across a car-park?
Cont 1: There's a sign back there saying no entry and that you can be fined.
AJ: Are you serious?
Cont 2: There is a sign.
AJ: Well, I didn't see it and I walk across here all the time as I live just around the corner.
Cont 1: (aggressively)Where are you going?
AJ: (not as polite as I could have been)I just told you, I'm going home. I live just around the corner.
Cont 1: Have you got any ID.
AJ: Yes I do. (makes no effort to get it)well he didn't ask to see it
Cont 1 : Well give it to me then.
AJ: *sigh* ok, (hands him permanent resident card).
Cont 1: (condesending)I don't like your attitude. Where are you going?
AJ: (increasingly pissed off at these two fascists) I TOLD you, I'm going home. I live around the corner.
Cont 1:(flicking PR card with his fingers) I can fine you $500 dollars so improve your attitude. Show me something with your address on it and I'll do you a favour and let you off.
AJ: (muttering) oh for f... here! (hands him drivers licence)
Cont 1: (shoves both cards back at me having barely looked at second one) Go on then, I'll let you off.
AJ: hmpft (exits stage right - muttering- fucking fascist conts ....don't they have anything better to do...must be real proud of themselves....too many f-ing rules in this country....)

It was much later that I realised that they must have been standing inside the station building waiting to pounce.
And BREAKING NEWS.....apparently I have a bad attitude.
You know, all I did was match his attitude towards me, if he had been polite and explained to me (as a relative newcomer to the country) that the area was restricted, we both would have had a much better day.
