I’m pissed off because yesterday I got a traffic infringement notice in the mail. $350 for running a red light. I remember the afternoon very clearly. I was late for a meeting and running out of petrol so I was in that special state of panic where you think if you don’t stop your car at all you’ll magically get to the petrol station without breaking down. In all honesty, I probably DID run the red light but I’m totally going to order the photo just to make sure. I need PROOF DAMN IT!

The thing that’s making me even more angry is that last year some maggot smashed my car window and I had to pay $450 to have it replaced. I received a phone call saying that the police had caught the guy. I was like, sweet! I get my money back. Not quite. I was told that they were going to order him to pay for the damages but that he probably wouldn’t ever pay it so therefore I can kiss my $450 goodbye. I’ll begrudgingly pay for my own mistakes but I’m getting pretty bloody tired of paying for every jackass that runs into my car and drives off and also for every dickhead who smashes my car window for loose change.

I had a wonderfully upbeat and positive post planned for today but I was so cranky last night I couldn’t concentrate. So I did about three hours of Angry Theoretical Shopping. Here’s the stuff I would have bought with the money I’m about to hand over to the Victoria Police. Sob!

Tell me friends. If you didn’t have to pay for school fees/car insurance/health care what would you spend the money on?

Feel free to share your fantasy purchases on Facebook. I’m a glutton for punishment.
