I got a parking ticket yesterday because we forgot to put new license tabs on my car. Oh well, such is life. Sat down to Pay Fines Online! this morning and the ticket didn't show up on the county website. A couple of phone calls later and I discovered that supposedly it can take "in excess of 14 days" from the issuance of the ticket for the information to appear in the online system.
Remind me what decade we are living in, please? And you're telling me I now have to keep this thing on my mental radar for two weeks or more? (Yeah, I suppose I could put a "check" in the "mail." That's no fun and wastes a stamp.)
And as for the state: Why can't the tab fees just be automatically deducted from my bank account? This is 2010. I don't know about you, but years ago I re-assigned to other tasks the brain cells formerly responsible for "remember to pay my bills."
