HC I posted on GC like 4 times and then bounced?
HC I'm so used to being a silent observer that I sometimes don't even think to post?
HC days like today make me remember to post?
HC today was HELLACIOUS???
HC I got a BOOT on my car?
HC I don't drive to work and it happened after I had already got on the train this morning?
HC I found out from a call from my neighbor?
HC I've been digging my very fine, very single neighbor for a while now?
HC we exchanged numbers over the weekend and his first call to me was to tell me that I was in the process of having a boot put on my car?
HC I was sooooooooooo embarrassed?
HC I thought of this smilie

and actually made that face when he told me?
HC after I got over the embarrassment, I got pissed and actually made this face

?
HC it was because I knew I didn't have any damn tickets? (Ok, I do have one that I haven't paid, but it's only like $15)
HC I immediately went to City Hall, who sent me to the Secretary of State, who sent me to a hearing officer, who are all in different buildings?
HC they had said I had a $500 ticket from last year and would have to pay a total of $675 to get my car de-booted?
HC I asked to see a copy of the ticket and the clerk got a straight up attitude?
HC the ticket had my plate number, but was issued to a green Suburban with plates that expire in 4/02?
HC my car is not a truck and is black and my plates expire in 8/02?
HC the address where the ticket was issued is on a side of town that I would never dare venture?
HC clearly, the issuing officer made a mistake when writing the plate number?
HC I moved like a year ago and the notices were going to the old address and I was never notified?
HC black folks always want to say they weren't notified about something, but I swear, I wasn't?
HC I actually had to go to court, in front of a hearing officer and an audience and plead my case?
HC I drew on inspiration from Maxine Shaw - Attorney at Law?
HC after presenting all my evidence, the hearing officer agreed with me and her judgment was that I was "erroneously booted"?
HC that hilarious term in itself was worth all the hassle?
HC I got all this done in like two hours?
HC on my way back to work, I called my neighbor to try to redeem some sense of dignity and he told me that whatever I did worked, because the boot had already been removed?
HC I hope he's never scared to ride somewhere with me, in fear that I may get booted?
HC today really made me realize how you never know what lies ahead of you?
HC this morning when I woke up, I had no idea that I would be representing myself in a court of law?
HC dang, life is just funny like that?
