Today, I got my paycheck. I was really excited since I've been broke for the last two weeks. On my way home, I got pulled over and got a ticket for expired tags. The $90 for new tags plus $135 for the citation will leave me with enough to buy a burger. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I finally got my paycheck from working at my minimum wage job for the last three months. I was delighted when I saw it was worth $846. On my way to cash it, I destroyed my car's suspension. It's going to cost almost $800 to fix. FML
Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML

Maybe renew your tags on time like a responsible adult and this won't happen.

I'm not a lawyer and this is not legal advice...but maybe if you take the ticket to court and show the judge that you got the expired tags taken care of immediately, and you have an otherwise clean record, you can get them to dismiss the ticket? That's worked for friends of mine in Massachusetts.

I love how people on here are saying "wow you need to get a new job". Have any of you TRIED to get a job lately? There's no such thing. Or "budget your money better" like eating is a ******* choice. Too many of you self righteous pricks live solely off of daddy's money and haven't seen the real world yet.

Umm it's a real unicorn thank you very much. It's just one of my horses that we dressed up for my 3 year old niece for Christmas.

actually I have a feeling that those of us suggesting budgets are the ones who actually DO budget our money, because we DON'T live off of Daddy's gold card

Most states if you get it fixed within a certain amount of time they will kick it down to like 10 bucks. Just need to show your receipt for it to the clerk, you don't even need to go court you can do it earlier.

these are the easiest tickets to get dropped. just go to court, plead not guilty and showgirl the new registration. ticket dropped. unless you've already paid it, then fyl
