Okay. Everyone must remember the story about how UMass Parking Services towed by car for being parked in a place I had a sticker for a year ago? Well today I had a similar, but not nearly as severe incident with Alexandria.
When I got my license and registration in August (another long story for another time), the DMV people told me that for my county sticker (basically city/town tax on your car) would be taken care of via postal mail. In other words, they said that I should expect to get the forms in the mail soon to fill out to get my sticker and pay the tax. That day when the papers arrived was this past Saturday, the 18th. I filled out the paper, got it ready to go out in the mail, and dropped them off Sunday. This is where the fun begins. Monday I don

I think you are a victim of the usual government bullshit! VOTE LIBERTARIAN! http://www.lp.org
All kidding aside, your story is the usual story of what happens to law-abiding citizens in a government with too many laws and taxes. It doesn’t take a lot of logic to fix a problem within the system that is so flawed it can’t mail out things twice a month instead of once a month… but do you think they’ll fix that? Nope. They’ll assign a committee to it, maybe have a few meetings, and years from now there will be some other guy getting a ticket because he was never mailed his stuff either.
Sorry to hear you had to put up with the poop… it’s always good to vent it out! … carry on with life and good luck to you with the job search. :O)
Dude just give in to the man already. Pay the freaking ticket. Nah actually don’t pay the ticket, most cities don’t do anything about it unless you get like 3 or more tickets then they might boot your car. I have one ticket unpaid back in Bath. Suckas, you ain’t getting my money!
