Ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right? I'm in the middle of one.

It all started with me waking up late for school. I wasn't late by much and I knew that if I hurried, I'd still get there on time. I did, however, miss my usual train, which didn't really mean much to me at the time. I walked through the car doors and took a seat as the train took off. Just as I was getting comfortable, a cop comes up to me and asks for my I.D. Now I knew it was "against the law" to walk in between cars, but the law is almost never enforced, and when it is it's usually when people do it after the train is moving. So yeah, me and four other people get pulled off the train so the cops could write us up. It took probably four minutes to write the ticket, but they wouldn't give anyone back their I.D.s before all the tickets were written, so I had to sit and watch three others trains go by. One guy was really upset over the whole thing and they went so far as to put cuffs on him. I kept my cool for the most part, until after I got back on the train and read the ticket over. They were fining me $75.00 to be paid before December 4th. In case you're not American, just know the fine hardly fits the crime. This pretty much put a damper on the rest of my day. I was late for P.E., couldn't concentrate on my English quiz, and probably didn't answer a single question all day. I wasn't so much mad that I was late, but instead that I had to somehow pay off $75.00 with no job, allowance every two weeks and the only money I have saved is for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and I swear god if someone was touching my CoD money I would have to cut a-- yeah. When I got home today I pretty much had to get on my knees and bed my father to let me keep my CoD money and pay him back with the following allowance. In other words, I'm broke for the next month and a half. And cops wonder why people hate them so much. FTP.

    Woah, he got fined $75? a____a"

    Even in England, that fine doesn't fit the crime. Like, at all.

    See the door at the back? I used that to get to the next car, but what you're supposed to do is get out the train, walk over to the other car, and get back in. If the doors close while you're out of the train, oh well. Makes you wonder why they just don't lock the doors.

    Pfft, what's the point of those doors then.. XD;

    I'll remember not to do that while I'm in America, it's a stupid rule though.

    ...what the hell?

    Even on our rather 'meh' at best train transport here... I recall a fine for pressing an emergency button on the train being $20. $75 for walking between train carriages? What?

    That just sucks. =( Hope stuff improves for you.

    Maybe the cop was a phillies fan.
