I love the woman whining bout the amount but doesnt explain why she didnt pay it...Cops do go overboard....i met a few cops in my time and they were almost all buttheads

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Don't get stuck on stupid.

Listen, I set up several hundred accounting systems in the USA and they all had accounts receivable. We also were smarter than these idiots. We wrote of any amount less than 2.50. Why? It took more effort and cost and office time to collect receive and deposit that it was worth. You just don't get it. Do what's right and skip the small stuff, its chump change, pocket change. When a city is so stupid its chasing 1.16 they are stuck on stupid. Don't you get stuck on stupid.

"wrote of any amount less than 2.50. Why? It took more effort and cost and office time to collect receive and deposit that it was worth."

A few years back, I wrote off a business trip with my employer. Due to exchange rate fluctuation my trip report was off by $0.10. They started calling me every day and hassling me to write a check to them for ten cents. I absolutely refused and told them I would increase my next trip claim by a dime. They found this unacceptable and eventually garnished my paycheck for the double nickle.

They then forced my manager to council me regarding the issue. We had a good laugh at the expense our company was willing to incur to recover $0.10! It was quite amusing.

This lady was a lawrbraker! We need to enforce the lawr so that everybody pays fair share! All lawrs are moral and good because the govt sez so. Obey the lawr.
