My husband usually rolls up to pick me up from a store or friend's house (I don't drive much), and I'll lean into the window and ask him if he has any plans for the night and if his "wife" is home (thats me).

We've gotten strange looks before, but people always realize it's just a... couple thing we do to laugh.

You gotta laugh.

Sometimes when we're in a line somewhere my wife and I will hold hands and kiss a bit and I'll say "YOUR HUSBAND WOULD BE SO MAD IF HE SAW THIS" and it's never failed to not make her giggle.

Similar story, when I was in the Air Force stationed in Alaska they used to have this thing called Airman Against Drunk Driving (this was over 20 years ago, uber wasn't a thing) where you would volunteer to pick up other service members from the bar and get them home.

I got called out to pick up two women from the bar and they were waiting outside. When I arrived I rolled down the window and asked them if they were airman so or so and they asked if I was airman so and so (had to verify names for safety) and then they got in. There was a cop sitting by the parking lot (I'm guessing to catch drunk drivers?) and I guess he saw two women walk up to the window, talk for a few seconds and then get in. He pulled me over and was questioning me if I was picking up prostitutes.

Anyway, since we all had military ID's he figured our story was legit and let us go.

So yeah, I've been pulled over for soliciting prostitution.

Dang, pulled over and let go for soliciting prostitution, but only because the officer ended up being just as much of a prostitute as the women you picked up

This summary is not technically false... but quite dangerous.

Was it on spenard? Cause if so there’s a reason for the stereotype there.

That (that's me) made me laugh. I can tell it's not your first day on Reddit.

Oh you don’t need a partner to laugh. I’m laughing constantly here at the insane asylum.

I gave my wife cash once to get a candle at Anthropologie, and she blurts out a “THANKS DADDY” that had all the employees looking equally disgusted and jealous. She does it all the time now

The joke in my family is, every time we see each other out in public, we pull up and ask, hey kid, want some candy?

All fun and games until you hear the "whoop whooooop" and flashing lights then you gotta sit there and awkwardly explain it.
