What's more annoying than.........

[dslartoo]

Q. What's more annoying than calling up Georgia / Hall County's Traffic Violations department in late August and being told your speeding citation "isn't in the system yet" (for a ticket received on July 29th, no less) and to call back in early September?

A. Losing the English-language copy of the ticket and having to root through the trash basket in your computer room for the Spanish-language copy of the ticket that you tore up and threw out weeks ago, since you didn't need it, but now DO need so you can get the citation number from it and call the Violations department again to try and pay for the fucking thing.

Piecing together fragments of a flimsy carbon-copied citation paper? NOT FUN.

[[edit: what sucks still more? Finding out that the bloody thing is $175. That's right, $175 for not even 20 over the limit. Fuck you, Hall County.]]

I'd much rather be rich, by far. With riches and no fame, you don't need to worry about the media ripping you apart, stalkers, your private life being splashed on magazine covers or any of the other weird trappings that come with being known.

Rich, without question. If I were famous, I would undoubtedly snap and kill someone eventually.

Okay, I readily admit, that sucks.

For the Oracle: if I could be famous for proving some awesome math result, then I'd like that. If not that, then rich instead. :)

I sympathize.

I just paid $40 for a parking ticket for a $4 violation. The ticket did not arrive to my house until after the due date where the fee went up, and til after the 10 days I had to contest it, so I was screwed. :/

$175 for <20 over the limit is just lame.

And I'd rather be rich than famous, because rich allows me to go places and do things and famous could be like... famous for 10 minutes that garners me no new opportunities. So yeah. Show me the money. :)

not sure how bad it is really, I'd happily pay $175 on occasion NOT to live in Hall county! and most of my fathers family does. What a back-woods, mobile home infested, country bumpkin filled section of god forsaken land that is.

(your parents are the rare exception)

Rich, filthy stinking rich! ...If i'm rich, I'm called "eccentric", since I'm not, I'm just "crazy"
