grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I just got a ticket. And one of those annoying ones where it was completely and totally MY FAULT -- I remember the exact moment where I decided to part ways with traffic law and take an illegal left out of the Hollywood Video parking lot onto the mostly-empty two-lane road. I saw a car in the distance but it was sufficiently far away that I knew that even if I just rolled in neutral out of the lot, I would make it to the other side before he hit me.
I turned to my brother before doing so and said, "Should I just do it? Should I take a left?" (Because it would shave a whole, I don't know, THIRTY SECONDS off of my drive home.)
And he said, "Why not?"
And so we peeled out and started merrily home. For two seconds, that is, until my brother said, "Shit, that was a trooper" and said trooper made a U-turn, pulled over, and gave me a ticket.
Grrr! GRRRR!!! WHY AM I SO STUPID???
I mean, I worked at that Hollywood Video for like eight months four or five years ago. And every. single. night. I would leave and take the far parking lot exit where I could make a legal left turn. EVERY. TIME. My manager always made illegal lefts, but I considered myself a good driver! A good person! I obeyed the law!
And tonight I decided to be reckless and got BUSTED.
I am so annoyed. Damn you, self! DAMN YOU TO HELL. The annoying part is that now I'm all frustrated and angry with nowhere to put said anger and frustration (except this LJ entry, of course), so I can't really enjoy anything. Perhaps this is karma for being mean to Persistent Former Friend?
Will be zen and contemplate my bad behavior and hope that will guide the otherwordly karma forces to make the court willing to reduce this to parking on the pavement or some other non-moving violation.
Grr, I say! GRRR!
