Suspicious Driver?

You may be wondering about the title of this blog...well here it goes...
 
Did you know that I am a suspicious driver?
 
The other night I was on my way to the gym and rather than taking the normal way, I decided I was going to take the back roads.  On my way I drove by a police man and I don't know why, but I had a bad feeling about it.  Sure enough, after my first turn, he was on to me.  
 
Keep in mind, I was doing NOTHING wrong.  I was driving the speed limit, stopped at the stop signs, etc...

I remembered that I needed to put gas in my car, but then all of a sudden I thought I didn't have my wallet.  So I began to turn around to head back to my house to get my wallet when I remembered that I did have my wallet in my purse...YAY!  However, the cop was still on my tail and was not leaving me alone.  
Once I realized that I did have my purse I continued driving, but instead of going to the gym, I went to the gas station. 
It was then that I saw the lights flashing and the cop pulled me over, as soon as I pulled into the parking lot.
 
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? 
You got it!  The cop was pulling me over.
As soon as my window went down and he approached he asked, "Where are you off to tonight?"
I said, "I was on my way to the gym, but realized that I needed to put gas in the car."  He said, "well I was following you, and your driving seemed suspicious so I was wondering where you were off to?"  I then proceeded to tell him that I thought I had forgot my wallet, so I turned around and then I realized that I had my wallet and so I continued to head towards the gas station...etc..."  He asked for my license and insurance and went into his car.  At this point I was so annoyed, I was doing nothing wrong...I did not think it was wrong to take back roads, but maybe it was my Ford contour that I was driving???  Did he not like my car, sure it may be old...but come on...
At this time the police officer came back to my car and asked me if I had anything to drink...I said "No" and he then gave me a warning....
UGH!
I then began pumping gas and he continued to watch to make sure that was what I was there to do.  When I was done, he left and I continued to go to the gym...
It was the last day of the month...maybe there was a number he had to meet, maybe he was bored?  I don't know...but now you know the story...
Do you think the next time I go to the gym at night...should I...
a. go the normal way
or 
b. the back roads
I cannot believe that I got pulled over for being a suspicious driver...
