Today, I was pulled over for not having my car inspection up to date. I had my car inspected two weeks earlier. Since I'm at college my sticker was mailed to my home. My mother didn't want to pay the 42 cent postage, so now I have to pay $250 because my mother is cheap. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a ticket for "suspicious driving" because my total shit of a mother kept tugging on the wheel to annoy me, and I still had to pay it. FML
Today, I found out my mother drives my car. I was okay with it; I don't use it all the time and she's my mother. However, I was not okay with the multiple speeding tickets that came through in the post. "You're the registered keeper, so why should I pay?" FML
Today, I went to pay my vehicle registration in person to avoid paying the $10.00 online service fee. After a long wait, I came out to find a $15.00 parking ticket on my car. FML
Today, I got another parking ticket because I can't afford a parking pass for the school I attend. I now have over $700 in unpaid parking tickets. I have classes all day from Monday-Thursday. I work Friday-Sunday. They recently cut hours at work. Some days I can't afford to feed myself. My mom said, "Figure it out." FML
Today, I let my dad borrow my car. I found out a few hours later that he has had a suspended license for three years. How did I find out? He got pulled over and arrested. My car was also impounded. I'm a college student barely making it as it is. Guess who can't afford the impound fees? FML
Today, I was on the way to traffic court for a $340 speeding ticket I'd got. My mother called me and I wasn't paying attention which caused me to speed. Right past a cop. When I told the cop where I was going, he started laughing at me. I now have another $300 ticket. FML
Today, I got pulled over for having an expired registration. I also found out my husband hasn't been paying for my car insurance. Luckily, I didn't get arrested because I had my baby with me. They towed my car and gave me two tickets and a court date. Oh, and the cop sent me a friend request. FML
Today, after a little detective work, I found out the money that recently went missing from my college fund was transferred by my mother, to her own account. She claims it's to pay a parking ticket. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I didn't know they fined people over $3,500 for a parking violation. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket in the mail, at the same time as my car was getting towed. FML
Today, I paid $125 to get my car back after it was towed. Yesterday, I bought the car. When I got it to my apartment, the office wasn't open, so I couldn't get a parking decal. The same office that towed my car while they were still closed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YOU DONT HAVE TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT! HAVING THE STICKER ON YOUR CAR IS NOT WHAT MATTERS. YOU UPDATED IT ON TIME SO YOUR GOOD. YOU NEED TO PAY 10 DOLLARS AND FILL OUT SOME FORM AND THEY WILL ELIMINATE THE CHARGE. AT LEAST IN CALIFORNIA THEY DO.

Where do you live? In taxachusetts they put the new sticker on (whether it passed or got a reject sticker) right when you get it done.

You don't have to pay anything. if you show up to the court house with your inspection papers dated 2 weeks before the ticket, they'll dismiss the ticket.

Mom definitely pays for it. No question, it's her fault not yours.

At some point, you're going to have to learn to grow up and stay on top of your own personal business. I really doubt that your mother REFUSED to send you such an important document. Tell the truth: you BOTH forgot, didn't you? Unless you reminded her EVERY DAY to send the thing to you, you totally share the blame for this one. @#10, many countries spell it "realise." The Web is World Wide, you know.

1) They put the sticker right on when you get inspected 2) If you live in some stupid state that mails it to you, YDI for not realizing your old sticker had expired.

Wow, where do you live? Every state I've lived in has given you the sticker immediately, and will usually dismiss the ticket if you just showing up in court to prove that you had the car inspected. Especially if you can prove the date on the inspection predates the ticket.
