Bad day today

[sumone 10+ year member]

So I'm driving and this elderly guy is going about 15-20mph on a 30mph 4 lane street (2 lanes each direction). I was right behind him(left lane) and there was a column of cars in the right lane giving no chance to pass 'im. So I said f*ck it & zoomed in the lane going the opposite direction to pass him on the left and the motha blubba decided to move left and ended up hitting me. So we pull over, my car is pretty much fine; some paint peeled off. His car...I knocked his left mirror off completely & he got some paint scratches too. I claimed no insurance (even though I have expensive-*** state farm) and we decided to settle it for $300...e.g., I give him $300 and it 'never happened'. I got it 'on tape' in case he decides to sue my ***, thanks to my handy dandy ink pen/digital-recorder. He really hit me but since I was driving illegally in the lane going the opposite direction it's really my fault. ****.

7 hours later...

I was almost home. Light turns yellow, I decided to go for it (I'm about 25 feet back). Well, I made it...but at the cost of a red-light ticket of $105. The cop was like a lot of people like to speed at this intersection (Cubs game going on). He could've got me for speeding too; was probably doing around 40 in a 30. ****.

Being 5 seconds ahead (1st case) or 30 seconds ahead (2nd case) ain't worth it.

oh well.

Ain't I so cool??!! How can get out of it?!? Take it to court??! Just playin'...I just got a check for $800 that I really don't need at the moment anyway....(yeah I'm crazy).

Yea I just did this basic php/sql website for my school charging $20/hour. I worked about 8-10 hours (over the course of 3 weeks) but told them 40hours. Then I forgot about these other 2 parking tickets I have amounting to $200. So, money I didn't really need...I don't get to keep; I don't see any harm in that.

wow that is really sad...you could make $800 a month spare changing...

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Spare changing, what is that?

 

[sumone 10+ year member]

Spare changing, what is that?

"Can you spare a dime?"

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

Well I have been there done that makeing 800 bucks a month. I dont know how you could do it spare changing then. I mean unless you have some talent like you do, helping your school or an education, there are a lot of people who only make that. Hell I am lucky if I bring home 1400 a month. I have a house, 2 cars and eat like a rabid wolverine and that isnt much more than the so called spare changing.

I tried to be a competitive eater for awhile. I could keep down about 11 pounds of food. THe world champ (the japanese kid) can do like 25. So I said screw it... I have better things to do than make old lades stare at me while I eat 5 plates of Sesame Chicken like I'd been locked in a closet for a week.

I mean I have to admit when I first got the check, I was like, "Yeah! An extra 800! Whew Hoo!"

That was two weeks ago. I waited long enough to cash it & now I guess I have something to spend it on!

I pretty much break even every month with my daily job; usually have about $200 spending money.
