I was driving up to the toll and I accidentally ended up in the EZ Pass lane when all I didn't have one. I tried to get into the cash only lane but no luck. Once I passed the toll without paying, I pulled over and waited for the police officer and explained what happened. He said he got my license plate number and that I'd be getting a ticket in the mail. The thing is, I only had my temporary license at the time. And when I got back home, I got my permanent one. I still haven't received my ticket for that incident. I did get a speeding ticket, but that was at a different time and I already paid it off.

Vandalism, underage drinking, shoplifting now and again (usually when I inadvertently get ripped off).

I have shoplifted as a kid and once stole something on accident when I was 21 or 22 because I thought it was free. I took it back when I found out it wasn't free because it had a price on it.

Underage drinking, I had a wine cooler at 14 once and mom let me have a Martguerita one time when I was 15. Plus mom let me take little sips of her alcohol when I was two and I tried beer once when I was five and didn't like it. I never had it again until I had a sip of it when I was ten and spat it out. I thought it was root beer.

I've had ice cream on Sunday and here in Oregon it's illegal to have them on Sundays

I pumped my own gas in Oregon once

I use a dishwasher all the time and Oregon has a law that dishes must drip dry

I have taken baths naked and Oregon has a law that you must wear suitable clothing when you bathe

Walking with my shoes untied because they come untied and Portland has a law that your shoe laces must be tied when walking down a street

Jay walking

Breaking the speed limit

Running a red light and stop sign on accident

Doing rolling stops at stop signs

When I was a teenager I made an attempt to make these a**holes in my art class to like me so they would let me hang out with them. They were all wimps who were afraid to do anything dangerous or bad but they would stand there daring oneanother to do things but all of them would chicken out. One day some guy who we bought our weed from told some girl he ripped us off big time we could not figure out what he did but we had some pocket scales so we know he did not short us on weed. We heard he went on a vaction with his wife so we broke into his house we stole two pistols, some weed, and a mason jar for Kennedy half dollars they all sstayed in the car until I smashed the door open with my shoulder. We also pissed on his bed and couch before we left. These a**holes also talked me into throwing rocks or baseballs through people's front windows. They were the people we did not like at school parent's house windows. I also let them talk me into beating up random guys who were just minding their business and smaller than me I regret ever doing this.

Not one of them would do anything they would just stand there giggling or trying to coax me into doing something else. I stopped hanging out with them when they asked me to talk a girl from our English who liked me to come to a friends house they wanted to get her drunk so they could screw her. When they went to buy some alcohol and weed I felt bad about doing it so I told her what they were going to do. She flipped out tearing the basement living room apart. When they returned they made the both of us walk home.

I've been found guilty of finagling, "donkey-mongering," mass extortion, and conspiracy to commit public nudity.

I believe I am covered by the statute of limitations for something I did while in high school, but I will not go in to more specifics other than "malicious mischief with a twist". I am not 100% sure how I could label all the laws broken in the process properly, although I'm 99% sure the statute of limitations is up on anything it could possibly be labeled as. I'm not going to take that 1% chance.

For what I did I was actually chased by police (I escaped capture, I can run pretty fast).

Did some underage drinking, too.

I physically attacked a guy at a gas station. He tailgated my father (we were driving separate cars) and when we stopped the guy followed my father into the store and was swearing at him. I just snapped.

LOL! good advice.

I committed shoplifting in Western Australia around 35 yrs ago - In addition to having a different state jurisdiction to where I live now, I suspect the WA crime squad may have better things to do with their time.

If this was actually acted upon then 90% of Australians would be serving time in prison.

I scratched the side of a car with a key because it had parked over the pavement. The owner also shouted at you if you walked on his garden. So you either walked over the car or on the road! One day I saw a mother trying to get a pushchair off the pavement (he had parked over the drop kerb too) and I just flipped. He wasn't around, so I got my key out of my pocket subtly and scratched the entire side of his car! No one ever found out (except for my Mum last year but she wasn't that surprised!)

Oh yeah when I was little I whacked some smart ass kid over the head with a skateboard, but no one saw so I got away with it!

Speaking of that, someone keys the fender of my car. I don't even know why that happened. I don't even know how to get it fixed because in the past I tried to get my whole back bumper painted but I was told they would need to repaint the whole car if they did that and that cost more than my car is worth. I just wish the darn mechanics who paint cars would just paint over a simple scratch or where paint is peeling off. Who cares if it wouldn't look right, I don't need my car to look fancy. I don't even know where to buy auto paint to paint over the scratch. That means getting my whole car repainted if I go take it in. :roll:
