This Is A Random, Meaningless, Announcement Thread UPDATE!!!

The toll for that passenger car was a $1.85

But this leads to very important questions:

- did they get to go by for free because they needed an ambulance?
- did the ambulance have to pay the toll?
- if yes to the above question, does it get tacked onto the girl's bill for the ambulance ride?
- did the driver blow over the limit?
- if so, did she have to pay the toll for the cop car when they took her back to the station?

All of them very good questions.

Let’s take them one at a time.

- did they get to go by for free because they needed an ambulance?


When the driver first came through, I could tell she didn’t grasp the concept of paying the toll. I asked her for her ticket. This is a ticket that all patrons pick up on entry of getting on the Thruway that tells the collector what exit they gained entry to the Thruway and the appropriate charge for when they got off (exit) the Thruway. Usually I insist to control the transaction by dealing with the toll first, then answer the customer’s questions after the toll has been paid. The crying driver told me that her passed out friend had the ticket and if I could please call 911. I called 911 first, told them to pull ahead to wait for the police and just for extra insurance, took the license plate number down. She pulled ahead. Since there was a few cars behind her, I cleared my lane of traffic and took a small walk to where they were.

As awkward and insensitive as it sounded, I told her that the police should be here shortly but while we are waiting could we handle the toll. The driver then reiterated that her passed out friend had the ticket. I shook my head wondering what the reason could be that they couldn’t get the ticket from her friend. Was it because she shoved it down her pants, did she eat it? I tried another approach and just asked them where they got on and they told me “exit 23, Albany”.
I figure these substance abusers must have come from the concert and charged them appropriately.

- did the ambulance have to pay the toll?

This ambulance went through my lane , with the lights on, probably went to Exit 19 where they have a hospital, the ambulance had ez-pass.

- if yes to the above question, does it get tacked onto the girl's bill for the ambulance ride?

Good question, I m sure the ambulance corp. charged her the inflated rate.

- did the driver blow over the limit?

The cops didn’t tell me. Since the local (Saugerties) police responded, I just minded my own business and went back to watching TV and drawing comics.

- if so, did she have to pay the toll for the cop car when they took her back to the station?

They were local police and the incident happened after my barrier before entering the town so they didn’t have to get back on the Thruway and probably just took these people down to the Saugerties police station.

There was one incident that ****** me off and that was when one of the officers drove through entry my lane with the police car to tell me that he was just going to swing around. He just wanted to question me and verify who was driving. He told me they were going to give them a breathalyzer test and that the people in the passenger car were being ********. He then drove through my entry lane (no ticket was issued and this car did not have ez-pass), did a U-Turn and exited the other side of the lane without paying. I was now two axles off on my entry and exit lanes and had to write paperwork. The cop couldn’t take the short walk up to my booth to ask me this, he had to drive his vehicle up to and through my lanes and screw up my axles.

That is awesome, too bad it doesn't actually work though, on the other hand I'd probably kill myself testing out the theory of momentum conservation between portals.

I once had a nightmare with Michael Jackson in it. It was back in the 80s when he was still liked. I dreamed I was talking to him and he pulled off his face and the devil (or something) was under it. Do you think it could have been prophetic? ;)

We had to give all our textbooks back. We just rented them. Except that one I stole. I still have that one.

Some of our text books required that we wrote notes in them, so we had to buy those ones. I've still got my copies of Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello and Hamlet from years nine, ten, eleven and twelve for example. And yeah, I've still got my year twelve chemistry, physics and study of religion texts. Woo! :D

I have a massive literature book from year 10. We wrote our names in the front cover of our books each year, and one day I went into my english class and there was a book on my desk. I opened it and it had my name written in it. My english teacher had given us five or so books. I didn't remember that one, but I supposed since it had my signature in it, I must have just forgotten about it, so I took it home. At the end of the year we turned all of our books in, but that one wasn't on the list of books I needed to return, so I just kept it. I guess it was from the previous year and the person who rented it the next year didn't write their name in it and then lost it. Someone found it and saw my name in it, so they put it on my desk. Someone probably had to pay $50 or so for it, so it sucks for them.

Oh noez! :eek: Most of our text books cost around eighty dollars Australian, so at least the text book wasn't too expensive, ne?
