Husband Clothes

This will have to be a short story because it could lead to me hating my husband. And we wouldn’t want that. He was in a fender bender last April. It bent his fender just enough that the front license tag wouldn’t stay on. No offense to any BMW owners out there, but frankly, it irritates me enough that my husband feels the need to drives this materialistic car. You see, I prefer more crashed up type, less expensive cars like my own (see her in all of her beauty right here.)

Now, I felt that I was rather patient about the fender bender. Especially considering that it was my husband’s fault, and further considering that my husband had a traffic ticket right before that for moving into the left turn lane too soon. (And, I should mention that I had told him soooo many times that he was doing that too early and one day he’d get in trouble. But would he listen? Oh noooo. So what happened? TICKET in the amount of $300. THANKS for THAT.)

Where was I? Oh yes, fender bender. So, he was riding around with no license tag on the front of his car. Have I ever mentioned that though my husband is handsome, he kind of looks like a terrorist? I’m not exactly sure what I mean by that, but many people have said it…It’s not like you can say “a terrorist looks like this or that”…But there’s something very mean and scary looking about him–though he’s very kind and gentle (and handsome). ANYWAY, I don’t know about you, but if I looked like a terrorist, I would NOT be riding around without a license tag on my car…especially anywhere near LAPD territory. Please. Heck no.

SO,  I kept telling my husband to put the license tag back on. He said the plastic thing around the tag was broken, that’s all. I thought, “That’s all? Okay, good, put it on the car then.” To no avail. He didn’t put it on the car. I forgot all about this.

TILL I GOT A YELLOW BILL in the mail from a Los Angeles court saying my husband missed his court appearance for his $400 ticket for having no license tag, and since he missed the court and didn’t pay bail, we now owe $700. HU? But then I read that lucky us, if I pay it right now, it’ll still only be $400. Only $400. Yay.

So, in summary: my husband caused a car accident, and proceeded to drive without his front license tag for months afterward insisting it was easy to fix. Then he got a ticket for not fixing it, forgot to pay the ticket, and even forgot to show up at the court thing where you can contest the charge…How is this possible?

So help me if that man gets one more ticket this year, I’m setting his dumb BMW on fire.
