So not MM (ticket)

[isabel]

DH and I went out downtown for a friend's birthday dinner last night. I noticed when we got back to the car that we had a ticket for the meter being expired. Neither of us realized that they changed the meters to allow paid overnight parking. $25. Ok, no big deal. Our fault for overlooking things.

Well this morning, I pull out the ticket to pay it and discover a second one behind it for DH's front license plate missing. Freaking $75. Turns out he knew it fell off but decided it wasn't worth replacing! He's going to go get a new set of plates tomorrow and then contest the ticket and tell them he didn't realize it fell off but I am so annoyed right now. Why would you not just go get a new set of plates from the DMV?? I'm so irritated about this right now. I also feel a little bit like we should just pay it since he knew it fell off. But I really don't want to.

Also, his excuse for not securing the plate better was that the kit to do it cost $60. Well that would have been less than this ticket and way less hassle!

Grrrr.
