Hey kids Story Time Miss Lindsey needs to go to court and talk to the Judge...its a long one!

So... about two months ago or so I got in a wreck. This lady in front of me SLAMMED on her brakes for no reason! So I tried to swerve but I still hit her. She drives off! Ben was following me in another car so I pull over and he goes after her. I talk to a pedestrian and she's like " what the crap was that lady doing?" I was like I do not know. I look at my BRAND NEW 2008 Mazda 3 and the front bumper is all screwed up... I'm paying a lot of money for this car so I'm TICKED! So finally I find Ben down the street a bit. He comes walking up gives me a hug and says the lady is over there ... be nice. I was like what? I was planning on going over there and being like hey I'm really sorry I hit you lets figure this out.. ya know.
So I go walking over and this (trashy trashy trashy) lady comes up and is like "Are you the person who ran into me?!" I say yes. She goes " What the F--- F--- you you effin tail gater blah blah blah..." I'm like OH HELL NO!!! So I get in her face and I was pissed. I was yelling... bad. Who the hell does she think she is?! So Ben pulls me away and we walk off. Mitch gave her a dirty glare... Love ya Mitch! So the police officer finally shows up and he was really laid back... like didn't even want to be there just wanted to go home which pissed me off in this situation.
Anways so I'm writing my report accident thing and we are kinda near BIZNATCH and she's filling out the paper too and it asks "Were you wearing a seatbelt?" and she's all "ya I was wearin a seatbelt good thing too or else I would have been out the front windshield!" I almost punched her I'm serious I've never been so ticked! So Ben... Love him so much! Took me further away from stupid head...Later I found out Mitch was giving her a dirty look the whole time!!! LOL Awesome Mitch. Ben is being so cool about this the whole time BTW he's so amazing. Stays calm hugs me talks to me. Even though I'm ready to kill. So the officer gave me and the lady a citation... me for improper lookout ... her ... get this... NO INSURANCE!!! Hello impound her freaking car!!! Are we all idiots!!!??? Seriously?! Is that not the law!? ok so anyways on my ticket it didn't say that I owed anything it was just a warning. So just to make sure I called and checked online every day for the fourteen days it tells you and they had no record of my ticket... So I didn't have to pay anything ... right? WRONG! Who knew?!
About a month or so later....
I get a notice in the mail saying that $50 has been added to my ticket as a late fee and if I don't pay it they are going to put out a warrant for me... LOL What the crap? What game are they trying to pull here?! So I call and long story short make a COURT appointment. So I go... I have to go into an actual courtroom with a real judge and an officer to make sure I don't get out of hand!!! Sheesh! Is this where my tax dollars are going? Oh heck no!
So I walk in take a seat and the judge is all "Ms. Parry I really have no tolerance for waiving late fees especially when a person is just plain lazy about it so unless you have really good excuse this isnt' going to happen." What a jerk. So I proceed to tell him my story and then he interupts me and is like "Lets talk about the accident. Did you or did you not run into the back of someone?" I say "yes I did." He says " Can you pay your ticket fee right now if I waive the fee?" I say "yes" he says " you can?" " yes I can pay my $120 ticket today" ..... " ok well Ms. Parry I'm contradicting myself but I'm going to waive your late fee"...
So I go out to pay it and the girl tells me that the late fee is still on my record and I have to wait 15 minutes for it to be removed....


Idiots... so sick of them.... I was on the verge of hurting someone... I felt like my brain shrunk througout this whole process... I am really glad I fought for it though! Saved me $50!

SHEESH!
