Yesterday I decided to go and see a movie. On the way back, the police are doing random breath testing. No worries; I haven't been drinking (let me tell you, I have since then!). So they breathalyse me, and then they say "is your car currently registered?" Uh-oh, I forgot about that. It seems we forgot to pass on our change of address to everybody when we moved. So I'm forgetful - since when is that a crime? "Can I see your license?" he says. I hand it over and off he goes back to his car. After what seemed like about an hour, in a hot car, with a constant stream of filthy little flies coming in and landing on me, he comes back and says "Unfortunately, I'm going to have to book you." Oh great! Thanks! So he hands me a ticket for five-hundred-and-thirty-flippin'-dollars! So now, I have to pay that ticket, my registration and my husband's registration (cos' yes, his was out of date too). Worse still, his is way out of date, so it's not just a case of paying the registration. No, his has to be re-registered, and have a roadworthy certificate!
Oh my God. I wish I'd never gone to see that stupid movie. It wasn't even that good!
Now I know this is my fault. I should have paid the registration on time; I should have remembered about our change of address; I should have done a lot of things. But I didn't. And now I've got to pay obscenely huge amounts of money, and I'm angry. So please tell me you feel sorry for me and you think I'm a really nice person.
(oh and any spare monetary donations would be most welcomed.)
