I got a fine in the bus today for not having a ticket

I have a student ticket that's renewed according to school years (2014/15, 2015/16 etc), that lasts from October till next October. Mine expired on October 1st and I can't get it renewed until November at least due to uni always being late with paperwork. It's been like this since I became a student and every year in this period of time I have to watch my back for ticket control. So far I've managed to avoid them, until today. I tried explaining it to the dude but he wouldn't listen and asked me if I'm from Belgrade or not, then fined when I said I am. Pretty sure he wouldn't have if I said I'm from some village god knows where, fucking capital bias fucks. Second time a goddamn bus ticket controller screwed me over, fuck them all to hell

When it's renewed, does it say Oct 1?

I'd be angry at my uni as well, if they are responsible. Bunch of turtles.

Nah, it just says 2015/16, no matter when you renew it. It's a 20€ fine, so no biggie, however, I'll take the fine to uni and tell them what happened, so they may take care of it. Worth a try at least.

Next time this happens I'll just lie my ass off. Hopefully it won't, but it's gonna be a month or so until I can get it renewed...

Bunch of turtles.

I've never heard this expression before. What does this mean, Foro?

 

[Night Prowler]

Turtles are slow, and I said my uni is slow too That's how I interpreted it at least

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Turtles? I think you're thinking of a Tortoise, surely?

I dunno the difference. We only have one word for both types.

Oh, okay. I see there is a difference between what "turtle" means in American-English and British-English... according to Wiki.

This would fit the musicians' forum better but not very many people pay attention to what goes on there. Anyway, I'd be very glad if you went ahead and cast a vote for me here, potentially giving me a chance to win a Fender guitar or amp. I am number 3. Thanks in advance to everyone who does vote.

Actually, the one on the left looks like a terrapin to me.

Fun fact: the Estonian for turtle/tortoise directly translated to English is shieldfrog.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

The world would be a better place if everyone used the word shieldfrog. What a better name.

 

[Pand]

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SHIELDFROG.
