SO BUSTED!

well i got a photo radar ticket a few mos back and i was sooo mad because i was barely over the speed limit, those crooks! so i started getting in the mind frame of "i'll show those guys"...been with my husband way too long! i received 2 notices in the mail and i just let them go, contemplating whether or not i would go to traffic school, or just pay the dang thing, in hopes that my ins. co. wouldn't find out. well, as some of you may know, you have a certain time frame to respond to the mailed notices. if you don't, they hire a process server to get the notice to you (or so they think). i had it all planned out that when they come to the door, i will either not answer or if i'm feeling spiteful that day, i may answer and act like i have no clue who michelle spiro is. i was going over and over in my head how i could pull this off, since they have 45days to identify you as the driver, or dismiss the ticket. i rehearsed this daily, i had this one in the bag!

well i was watching my best friend's kids last week and she was running late one of the mornings and called me to say she was right down the street. so a few mins. later the doorbell rings and i don't even look out the window, expecting that it was her children at the door. nope, process server! he caught me off guard and said "hi, michelle spiro?" and what do i say "yes". stupid, stupid, stupid!! i was soooo mad. i'd spent all that time rehearsing how to lie about who i was, i was even gonna go to the lengths of saying "i rent this house, and have no idea who that is" (yah i know, that one was pretty slimy). so low and behold, i have to pay the ticket anyway! goes to show that i can't lie, even when it's strategically planned.
