    Default This weekend...

    This has got to be the worst weekend I've ever had. Though it could have been worse. Friday night I drive to New Orleans to go dance... park my car in a lot nearby, and walk over to the club. When I get off, I go to put my bag in the trunk. Lo and behold, my car is missing. As in - not there. That's when I notice the tiny sign 3/4 hidden in the darkest corner of the lot with the notice "WILSONS TOWING - CALL 504-555-1234". I call the number, and sure enough they have a gold Lexus that was parked in the French Quarter.

    I have no way of getting over there, so I stay with one of the other dancers until the next morning, and then get brought over to the place by them... $125 the poorer, I'm driving back home.

    Then last night. I drive back up to N'awlins, park LEGALLY, and go to work. I had a little to drink, enough to get me loosened up but not sloppy at all. I drive home, and am 10 minutes from Baton Rouge - in the middle of nowhere - when I see blue lights in my rearview mirror. It's 3:40am, and I was clocked doing 86 in a 70. I performed a field sobriety test, which I think I did rather well with... apparently the officer didn't agree. However, he wasn't a dick - he just asked where I had been, where I was going, and how much I'd had to drink. "About 3 screwdrivers 2 hours ago"... He told me... 'Look, I'm cutting you a big break here. Drive to that rest station, park your car, and take a nap. I'll be by to check on you to make sure your vehicle is still there - you can leave anytime after 7am, just give the alcohol time to get out of your system'.

    It really was a big break, because a $200 traffic ticket is nothing compared to the thousands it would have taken to get a DWI off my record. Still, I'm a bit pissed that the weekend is turning out to be so horrible. I'm barely breaking even - although tonight is "payday" - when the club pays up for the last 3 nights of my dancing there... With any luck, I'll have netted 200 even after the 125 and 200ish ticket. It would have been 500-600 had not I been an idiot twice...

    Anyway, I just felt like ranting.

    Live and learn.

    To quote Social Distortion, you had "Baaad Baaad Luck..." I've never been towed, but I did come out after a party show gone bad to find out some kids had smashed the window out of my Camaro. Little bastards.

    I couldn't agree with you more. A DWI would have been the worst thing that could happen to me. $1500 for court, at the least, plus god knows how many thousands in raised insurance rates (from the ones that are willing to carry someone with a DWI). If he had insisted on taking me in for a DWI, though, there's no way I would have submit to a breathalyzer. The penalty for not going along with one is half a year of no driving, but that's still the lesser of two evils.

    lol... I didn't get out of the ticket (still got one for going 86 in a 70... $209), but I didn't get the big charge added on there "driving while intoxicated". Whew!

    Any of you out there had a bad run of luck brought about because of dancing? (Not that dancing caused it, but just that it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't have gone to dance that night/weekend)...

    Ugh that sucks. Glad that you werent too sloppy to drive and that the cop was nice to you. Sometimes being honest (saying you had 3 screwdrivers 2 hours ago) can get you out of a lot.

    But its good you got out and vented as well.You'll be ok.

    Re: bad luck from dancing? When does that NOT happen? Or maybe I'm God's whipping stripper. Anyhow, I think your recent misfortune has cleared up a lot of bad karma debt.....consider your ticket a donation to the city's municipal fund. In fact, in my county's main city, you pay traffic tickets at the Civic Center...blatant enough for ya?

    OMG I'm so sorry to hear about this, but you were lucky with that cop. Now I'm thinking I won't drink much because last night I was really drunk but I bought a cheese burger and and ate it on the way home. I woke up today to realize I left all my money at work perhaps in my locker I hope....... I'll take your experience as a lesson because in NY if you're caught DWI, they will take your car from you permanently and this would really hurt since it cost me $45,000 for my car. :'(

    That sucks that your car got towed, but you shouldn't have been driving drunk.

    I really find that irresponsible and am not sure why a cop cut you so much slack. You were putting people's lives at risk and you did not deserve a break.
