Bummer! (Am I alllowed to say that? )

I'm sorry about the ticket, it is rather ironical. But I'm intrigued about the energy healer.... Wot's that?

I really dislike it when the snowplow routes come out!

That stinks!

Gosh Lise, that is a bummer!
I'm sorry I laughed when I read your post though. Your $50 paid for some humor therapy for others.

Oooh! Good! I am always looking for a way to justify an otherwise inexcuseable expense! See, if I'd just driven to work and gotten the $50 ticket, no one would've laughed. But there are 10 responses here, so that's $5- a laugh...cheap! Thanks, mtk, for helping me change my perspective! L.

Wow, it must have been parking ticket day on 5/24! I know those orange signs well, and yes they do tie them to trees in some pretty stupid ways. My other favorites are the "no parking movie set" signs. Stupid city.

I decided to park illegally last wed. and run into the hospital where I work to grab some paperwork before heading out of town. I was there maybe 5 minutes, came out and the lady is writing me a ticket. There were about 6 cars parked along this block illegally, and she was just making her way down the row. I was stupid and parked in back. I should have moved to the front of the line. I was like "I guess it doesn't matter that I work here?" Nope. She actually apologized when she handed it to me. $50 later. I have 2 outstanding tickets from years ago, and in chicago once you get 3 unpaid tickets you get the boot. So I have to pay this one. *grumble*

So I feel your pain

Nice of her to apologize. I imagine that's not a fun job.

You know it, sister. The boot is no joke. L.
