Booted.

Yesterday was planned to be the BEST day. I had the day off. I planned the day off. Glorious day-off-plans to be had! 


I enjoyed those plans, very much. What I didn't plan however... was getting the mail.


I have an oil change you need to schedule.
I need my 50,000 mile car check up to schedule, should only be 150 ... if everything goes right.
I owe the dentist 31, or else collections will call me! Wait, why do I owe the dentist?
Toll road bill. 2.70.
...
Have more glorious-day-off-plans. Sushi with friend.
...
Hang out with boyfriend--watch Operation Repo; tried to focus on glorious-day-off-plans that were glorious. Don't think about everything you need to schedule on your next day-off-money-sucking-planned day.
... 
Car booted.  Apparently there are places you're not supposed to park. A warning would have been nice. Did you know they take 75 in cash only? No checks. No credit cards. 


Me: "Do I look like a drug dealer to you?"
Car boot guy: "no, but we only take cash."
Me: "How am I supposed to go to an ATM and get you cash at 11:30 at night when I cannot drive--cause there's a boot on my car?"
Car boot guy: "I'm sorry that's just our policy."
Me: "There are some serious holes in your policy."
*Boyfriend saves the day* 
...
Lesson learned. Don't watch Operation Repo.


Next time I get booted I hope its with cowboy boots... those will probably be more than 75 though.

Peeving

What is a "pet peeve" exactly? My definition would be: Observations about life and other people that do not have moral consequences but are moderately to HIGHLY annoying.  ... Your task? Ask someone what their top 3 are. 

Benefit: You gain the potential to learn a lot about a person.

Caution: You can gain more pet peeves.

happy peeving.
