I’ve noticed teams lately are doubling down on long-term loyalty instead of chasing the next big thing. It’s a huge gamble when things inevitably shift, but sometimes that continuity is everything. Do you think sticking with the current leadership is better than constantly hunting for "upgraded" talent?
8.1 09. I got slapped with a fine $100 for parking in a pedestrian zone and had to deal with the extra $167 towing fees in Opatija—well, basically downtown near Washington, D.C.—because apparently, it's a walking area. I pulled up around 9 PM and was only gone for an hour, but when I came back, my car was just gone. I ended up freezing my butt off finding out it was towed all the way over to the engineering district... and since there were no trams running around 11 PM, I had to trek through the freezing cold to get to the impound lot, where they just made me sign for the ticket and wished me a "good night"
I don't know how you guys would feel, but I honestly feel totally screwed and cheated for something I'm not even guilty for. I didn't see any "No Parking" signs, and from where I left my car, there wasn't a single sign for at least 100 meters in either direction. Plus, seeing about ten other cars parked right around me, I figured the spot was fine... but when I returned, every single one of those cars was still there, except mine
Honestly, even if I did technically break a rule, the fine itself is one thing, but having to hike through -15 degree weather to hunt down my car feels like overkill... there was no reason to tow my vehicle so late at night when nobody else's car was being touched, my car wasn't blocking anyone, and the whole mess happened in the span of just one hour
I'm not guilty, so what can I actually do? $267 The fine is already sitting there
The penalty is draconian—it’s a total scam, just highway robbery...
I'll take it all the way to the Supreme Court if I have to; I'd rather go to jail than let this slide, because I'm going to fight for what's right until the very end 😛 *sighs*
