Good morning, sunshine

“You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” ~Walt Disney
Being over the age of 18 should come with a disclaimer: “WARNING: This shit might get expensive” or “WARNING: May feel like having something rammed up your ass every third day” or “WARNING: May feel tingly sensation, nausea and vertigo when you look at your credit card balance” or “WARNING: Dumb ass PAY YOUR FUCKING PARKING TICKETS”

Damn. That sucks.
heather anne says:
OUCH!
Renee Daniels says:
Don’t they realize you’ve already had one dose of adulthood this week? No one needs too much of THAT. Major suckage.
Suebob says:
Yowch.
EmilyPie says:
But damn do you have a way of telling the story!
deb on the rocks says:
Oh, Baby. And that Walt Disney, what’s with that? First we have to suffer through It’s a Small World and incessant princess everything, and then he wants us to get kicked in teeth. I don’t trust him. Never have.
dharma says:
Oh man that sucks. Dealing with TGF’s ticket from last September that she never dealt with or gave me to pay. It’s up to over $500. A whack upside her head is in order. Hopefully the fiscal hell in your world will end soon.
Jennifer says:
Looks like now a good time to pay those tickets?
Rhi says:
Oh my goodness. I didn’t know they actually did this -I thought it was an urban myth. Must check to make sure all my parking tickets are paid up.
Chaos says:
So I totally agree there should be a disclaimer on adulthood. Sucks about the parking tickets.
ali says:
niiiiiice.
and by nice, i really mean ohmygoodgod that sucks.
Nothing But Bonfires says:
Shit, you just reminded me that I have two tickets to pay. Um, thanks for that? Maybe that’s the silver lining: saving ME from getting the boot by posting this.
k says:
Ouch. I’m not sure when your tickets are from, but they’re doing an ammnesty for double fines from before July 31. I’m not sure how this works since they boot people immediately.
Also, I love the “emergency” no parking signs that are posted on every post every single day. I have to physically check on my car daily to make sure one of those signs didn’t magically appear overnight.
I could go on and on… but I won’t.
maggie, dammit says:
Uh oh.
The Over-Thinker says:
Fuuuck.
metalia says:
Noooooo! Not the dreaded boot!
*makes mental note to send pearls to make it all better*
Allie says:
Oh… a boot…that shit sucks.
It seems like, for the past few weeks, I have been living the first two warnings daily.
anna says:
Oh man! That sucks!
nopasanada says:
For the record, the boot was removed literally 35 minutes after I took this photo. All I had to do was call and give a credit card number and then they come and remove it and voila! Parking tickets paid and boot removed. But it still sucks when you’re all ready to go to work - where they will PAY you - and you can’t go because there’s a damn boot on your car.
Velma says:
Today will be better, right? It’s GOT to be better.
andrea says:
Not a great way to start a day. The boot sucks!
Thank god it was easy, if not expensive to remedy.
Angella says:
Tomorrow is a new day? Or some other positive shit?
Hilary says:
The boot is evil. And expensive and just plain MEAN. I feel your pain, have been greeted with same cruel reality before. UN-effing-FAIR is adulthood. Hoping your week improves by a lot - and fast!
Molly says:
UGH! Love the quote you chose and I agree that being an adult needs a warning about being expensive!
Aimee Greeblemonkey says:
aww, damn.
Bone says:
Good grief. Didn’t Orwell write about these in 1984?
