car drama at the impound!so I'm here at the impound with marvin (my ex), who has been a treasure because he has given me his car to drive for the past two days while mine is sitting at the impound. I went to city hall and paid all the fines yesterday but could not pick it up because the impund closes at 3:45. what fucking office closes that early? when i was leaving work yesterday, i was leaving to pick faben up from school. so when i found out that my car was gone, i had to call marvin to go get her from school. in the mean time she her school bus came and she called my work and cell to tell me, but my battery was near dead so i didn't know it rang. he was running around the school like a mad man, looking for faben who was already gone, while i'm calling him crying and yelling about my missing car and kid. when i finally figured out what happened he picked me up from city hall and ended up being an hour late for work because of my mess. so he gave me his car and said that i can keep it for yesterday and today and he would find a ride home from work.
so I get here (the impound) today and I tell the guy that I'm ready to pick up the car and he says fine but I hope you have a tow truck because your inspection is expired.
are you fucking kidding me!?!? I didn't even notice!
so thankfully I had hundai roadside assistance from the warranty that you get when buying a new car. i'm sure it is not intended for towing cars from impounds b/c your car is not inspected, but i just told them that it would not start and gave them the address of the impund. i figured i'd deal with the tow guy when he arrived. and when he did, he was super cool and was like i'll just tow you down the road and then let you go and you can go on your merry way. and i said cool, and reached for my keys, and realized that i didn't even bring them!
wtf!
so he tows it to marvins house and then we have to go back to get my keys at work and drive back to his house and then finally this nightmare is over. if it werent for him, i would have been totally fucked. thankfully, he puts up with my drama and lets what ever comes out of my mouth go in one ear and come right out of the other.
and so he concludes this two day adventure with "so do i get any ass out of this, or what?"

Been there, imk. Check this out - we had our car booted, and then we called downtown to try and plead with them. They told us we had to be downtown in like, an hour or less or it would be towed. Hello, we don't have a freaking car to drive downtown! Yeah, they are ultra strict. Gotta keep that Gubmit revenue flying in.

That Happend to me once I almost cried when I left Toronto. You may say what is so great about TO? I went to Wrestlemania, The Fan Axxcess stuff, A Bandits game and A leaf's game. I can't remember how many days I was there. But when I got back I didn't want to be back at all.

Welcome home!
I totally understand how depressing real life is after a vacation. Even if we love our day to day life, it's not the same fun as the holiday.
Chin up! Least you got to go (unlike me, sob sob sob1)!

Rock on I knew it would work out for you. I want one of those funny french hats if you can manage it. Oh and a mustache from a real frenchman.

He has earned his ass, let him have what he needs!
lol. boys. Well I'm glad things are ok... let me know if you need anything.
ahhh, the grief is all my fault. there is no excuse for all this, especially since i got that lecture from that cop not too long ago (it's posted somewhere), but i reeeely learned my lesson now, i swear.
Wrong question, spunky!!
Sorry for all the grief
Make sure you don't park on the streets until you get the car inspected. You wouldn't want another ticket after all that. It would probably put you right over the edge! They love giving parking tickets for expired inspections.
