GEEZ.

I'm going to sit and vent to you all for a moment...I'm terrifically frustrated right now.  

In the space of one week, I have gotten 2 tickets: one speeding ticket for ten over because I wasn't paying attention and chose to not pay attention at a bad time to the tune of $119, and today, a friggin' parking ticket for $30. I'm appealing this one because I'm pretty sure it's an error on their end, but STILL. The fact that I basically burned $119 makes me crazy enough, and this idea of extra $30 is about to just kick me right over the edge. I can't get it to stop needling at me. 

I guess the silver lining is that I seriously just do not have the personality to get myself into any consumer debt. I'd be in a padded room in two shakes of a lamb's tail if I'm this worked up and fussy over tickets, one of which I don't even think I'm responsible for.

  • that sucks! I got 2 tickets at once before (speeding Sooner a 4 lane hwy should really not only be 50mph. and then when the cop ran up my behind I changed lanes to pull over and he said I 'changed lane improperly and ticketed me for that) It was over $300 and I was super pissed as well. I hope your parking ticket is revoked!

  • Ugh. My first speeding ticket [and my only so far, knock on wood] was me speeding through a school zone...the lights flipped on after I drove past the signs, I was going the original speed limit [which is 10 over the school zone speed limit], and a hag of a cop pulled me over. I was so mad about it.

    I hope the parking ticket gets revoked!!

  • Ugh, girl, I am so sorry. If I were you, I would protest both tickets. Generally, the cops don't show up to speeding ticket hearings so you are only out the cost of court.
  • Thanks for indulging me and my tantrum, girls. :) Seems like everybody's got a crummy speeding ticket story - I wish they'd concentrate on all these nitwits out there driving and texting, because that's so much more dangerous!
  • That sucks about the speeding ticket.  I got one a couple years ago on my way to work and I hate them.  Don't even get me started on parking tickets and the meter people downtown....I say fight that one just because.

    BTW, I LOVE that you used one of my favorite phrases "two shakes of a lamb's tail".
