Sure you did mate

Due date is a somewhat arbitrary thing, so it’s not like the baby is waiting with a suitcase by the door to exit…

[u/blueoffinland → u/Kasutantasuta]

Based on stories by my mum, my friends about their own births, my siblings and cousins with their kids, and all the stories I've happened to read online over the years, I think if someone is really born on their due date we should crown them as the one true monarch or something, it's that rare 😁

[u/Kasutantasuta → u/blueoffinland]

You’ll get a reputation of somebody who’s always on time and have to live up to that for the rest of your days 😆

[u/soul_Writ3r → u/Kasutantasuta]

I was born a week before my due date, and to this day it's the only time I've been early for something 😂

[u/badassmamabear → u/blueoffinland]

Yep, my son was ten days late, and even then he didn't want to come out

[u/renyxia → u/blueoffinland]

My mom likes to say not rare if you get a C section lol

My coworker's kid was born bang on the due date. I'll let him know she has a crown coming her way

[u/Pleasant-Ticket3217 → u/Kasutantasuta]

I’m guessing someone barely able to drive wrote this. The lack of knowledge as to how any of this works is funny.

[u/OvaltineJenkins60]

Because the court always allows you to pick your own court date

[u/Calamistrognon → u/OvaltineJenkins60]

Of course. They let you choose the menu at the court's restaurant too. Which, needless to say, is free of charge. After all they wouldn't want you to give them a rating of less than 4 stars.

[u/OvaltineJenkins60 → u/Calamistrognon]

They are here for the people. They want to make sure you have a pleasant experience and everything about it is convenient for you

[u/Paindepiceaubeurre → u/OvaltineJenkins60]

And women always give birth on their due date.

[u/Galactic_Druid → u/OvaltineJenkins60]

Not only that, but the idea the cop wouldn't be allowed the same courtesy if he asked to reschedule for something like that. Hell, unless she was trying to claim some kind of misconduct, he probably wouldn't be asked to attend in the first place for a routine traffic ticket.

[u/BeterP]

Four to five percent of babies are born on their due date. That’s still infinitely better odds than this story being true.

[u/Lylibean]

Yeah, that’s not how that works. Court dockets are like Soviet Russia: you don’t schedule court, court schedules you!

[u/Rabbit-Lost → u/Lylibean]

And generally, if the officer has a conflict, they will reschedule. If you have a conflict? Expect a bench warrant if you don’t show.

[u/Cynykl → u/Lylibean]

Not alway true. I have contested tickets before and they allowed my to schedule the date myself. Other times they have set the date for me.

[u/RegrettableBiscuit]

So in your made-up story, you violated traffic rules and stalked the cop who saw it and messed up his wife's birth. You're not the hero in this story.

[u/Sandman1025 → u/RegrettableBiscuit]

In his/her mind they are. They are also probably 13-16.

[u/MagnaCentiipede]

I wish this was true just so bro would show up to the court with nothing but a look of smug satisfaction, only to get slam dunked because that's not how anything works and his wife either has the baby early or hadn't had the baby yet. 

[u/Rhewin]

Wait till they find out due dates aren’t an exact science. Well, they would if this was real.

[u/Quixilver05]

Man it's a good thing birth is exactly 9 months after conception and women tend to post the exact day they got pregnant

[u/_Levitated_Shield_]

I don't think they understand how births work. lol

[u/wedidnotno]

You can't even reschedule a court date for a ticket lol if you don't show up they are coming to get u

[u/supernovice007]

I know a fair number of people in law enforcement, state and federal. Most of them don’t have Facebook and the few that do use fake names. Having their personal info out there puts them and their families needlessly at risk. They deal with violent criminals that absolutely would use their FB info to find them and come after them.

[u/ogarcia666]

I thought law enforcement weren’t allowed to have any social media accounts

[u/Entheosparks]

Rescheduling a traffic hearing almost guarantees the cop won't show up.

Cops scheduled all their hearings on the same day so they get a full day of overtime. They won't show up if they are only getting 1 or 2 hours. All cops are corrupt, and their court attendance proves it.

[u/prettypeculiar88]

You aren’t able to pick your court date.

[u/Lucky-Royal-6156]

I actually saw a real lawyer on YouTube say to reschedule a courte date...so maybe

[u/Entheosparks → u/Lucky-Royal-6156]

Anyone can request a reschedule, and cops almost never show up if it isn't on the day they scheduled to handle all their tickets at once.

Luckily, all cops are scofflaws. ACAS

[u/Lucky-Royal-6156 → u/Entheosparks]

I leaned a new word
