I know I haven't posted in a rather long time, but right now I need vent. I need to vent like a racehorse.
So, right now I just got my first citation...for running a stop sign, which I didn't really "run" a stop sign, I guess I just didn't stop completely and wait 30 seconds to move again. It pisses me off because there are so many MUCH WORSE traffic violations out there than not COMPLETELY stopping at the goddamn stop sign. What pisses me off more is that I almost got into an accident earlier today because some idiot ran a red light, but I get f-ing ticket for not fully stopping at the four-way stop (which there were no other cars except for the damn police car sitting in the dark).
God I'm not in a good mood right now. I was going to go make my evening a little bit more enjoyable by getting an over-priced chai latte from Starbucks, but now I don't really see my evening getting redeemed in any way. Also, I know this isn't the WORST thing in the world, but it's my first ticket ever, and it just ticks me off because I wasn't driving recklessly or in any way endangering other drivers. I just didn't quite stop enough to make the car rock forward before going on my merry damn way again.
"Yeah, lets wait at the relatively low-traffic stop sign and wait for the innumerous people who don't completely stop and give them a ticket instead of keeping our eyes open for predators or for people who are really driving dangerously."
Maybe I'll tell them I'll pay my ticket when I get my damn tax return from the IRS because I'm strapped for cash right now because the $1000 dollars I should have gotten over a month ago is going to take another month and a half (if I'm lucky) to get to me. Let's talk then government, then I'll pay your ticket.
So I guess I'm feeling a little bit better getting this out of my system, but damn, I'm still pretty pissed. I just hope it doesn't cost too much, and I hope I don't need to take defensive driving, because that just seems like a big waste of time, and I have better things to waste my time thank you very much.
I need a drink...
