Sometimes people have bad days.
Sometimes those bad days can turn into a bad week.
Sometimes that evolves into a bad month.
Luckily, my luck isn't bad enough to ruin a whole month for me.
It all started when I rode my bike to the store to look at some body spray prices. I'm kinda low on money, and my mom isn't here to give me any so I needed to be prepared.
I was just about to cross a major intersection when I see a middle aged lady drop her bag of groceries.
Being the gentleman I am, I got off my bike and helped her. She thanked me and offered to make tea. I politely declined, because if I was to stop what I was doing, I'd probably forget. She said the least she could do was pay me.
My greed senses tingled. But I said no. Despite that she gave me a dollar. And then she left.
I pulled out the rest of my coins and did a quick count up. $3.75. 🙂
I was feeling proud. I got back on my bike and continued my journey.
When I got to the store, I noticed I didn't bring my lock and chain for my bike. Swearing and looking for an alternative. I took out the laces out of my brand new Nike Dunks (high tops too)
And tied them around a pole. I'd only be like 5mins or so so it should be enough. My shoes are like slippers now, but I walked into the store.
After I was done, I came out and of course. My bike was long gone. My shoe laces lay on the floor where my bike used to be.
I spent another 25mins lacing up my shoes. And then started walking home.
My iPod then decided to die on me. Leaving me in silence.
I stepped in a huge puddle, soaking my left foot.
Then I reached the same major intersection I was at just before. I pressed the button and waited.
There was a pause in traffic and no cars were around. So I got impatient and crossed anyway.
As soon as I reached the other side, a police officer stopped me. (It's part of the bike police. Supposed to help catch people on foot.)
He then wrote me a ticket for Jaywalking.
Now I have to pay a 37$ fine.
Almost 16 and I already have my first ticket. I feel so grown up.
FML.

So you basically tied your bike with some string? Not the best decision to make Mike, I must say 😛
I had nothing else 🙁
be ghetto and drop it at the front of the store, quickly run in and run back out with the product
Tht’s hw I lost my 1st bike
throw your bike in the bushes so its well hidden?
There was no bushes. I was at at strip mall.
But I don’t give a shit about my bike right now. It’s this fucking 37$ fine
Isn’t the bike worth more than $37?
Yeah but it I barely use it so I don’t really care
If I were you I’d carry the bike with me. Stores let you do that. Well, the ones that I went to when I did that.
Jaywalking is such a stupid law. We don’t have it in the UK. I don’t see how it’s dangerous to cross a road if there’s no cars.
Agreed. Playing frogger as you cross at a place not designated for crossing is one thing, but crossing when no cars are coming and getting a ticket for it is stupid. Of course, in college, everywhere is treated as a crosswalk. It’s basically cross when you feel like it and cars stop.
Fucking donut sucking pigs
Least they didn’t take your laces.
man people just walk when they want to around campus. jaywalking when theres no traffic laws are retarded.
LOL playing frogger irl is stupid. you only got one life D:
