Oh, I got got with the city sticker thing a few months after I moved here. Ticketed on Memorial Day, no less, when you'd think the cops would have something better to do. They do except you just to know telepathically; or they just like the money they can steal from the ignorant. :p If I'd thought, I would have warned you, but not having carness, I didn't think. :(

They do except you just to know telepathically; or they just like the money they can steal from the ignorant.

I lean toward the latter theory. They're dumb as a box of rocks either way. I'm betting their revenue would benefit a helluva lot more from actually notifying people and making it more convenient to get the damn things.

If I'd thought, I would have warned you,

I actually was warned. Just, strangely enough, hadn't quite managed to get to amilyn's alderman's office in person during frelling business hours. :-PPPP

Huge. Honkin'. Scam

I actually was warned.

P.S. -- Not, of course, that I have the slightest inclination to tell them that. It shouldn't be left up to word of mouth anyway.

Well done. I wanted to write a similar letter. *rolls eyes* I particularly like the "scam" portion.

:: bows :: Thank you, thank you.

I guess cranking out legal gobbledygook all day has its uses after all.

Moral of the story: Beware threatening collection action against someone who works in collections. ;->

You tell 'em, Val!

Good for you, that you know how to lay down the trask.

And thanks for reminding me why I only visited the Windy City twice in the 6 years I lived in Champaign, IL. :-P

I like the city. It's the twits who run it that make me homicidal. :-P

Heh.

Ahhh, Chicago Revenue... I once got a ticket. Moving in. Admittedly, it was street cleaning day, but whatever.

::cheers for the underdog::

And I think my brain just shorted out with the knowledge that by the time my computer gets to where I wanted it to be? I'll be $300 more in the hole than I'd planned on. Dammit!

Damn the man!

Yeah, I'll go back to work now.

:: takes another bow ::

I'm sure nobody will see it who can change anything, just some union data entry clerk who'll fix the computer and maybe say "oops". But it still feels pretty good to say it. I understand why the prevailing attitude is "That's just how things are in Chicago," but it still gets on my nerves.

Beautifully stated! And just because that is the way it is, doesn't mean that is the way it has to be or should be.

Thanks. *g*
