Damn judgemental people.

Timeshare dog?

This could be a monetized service. There should be an app for this!

I swear it should be banned. The number of times I've slammed on the brakes because I thought something was coming.

Me too, Sweetie. Me. Too.

I've actually done that a couple times. The looks on their faces made me giggle a little. 😄

Playgrounds I played on daily as a kid would be considered child abuse today.

Only $2.25? Mine was $200

I'm lucky...I moved and threw a library book into a random box. Didn't find it until 6 months later. I was terrified returning it, only to find out that my local library doesn't charge late fees! That was when I became a quarterly patron.

Some libraries forgive fines. However, I lived in a town where the local library sent letters to kids' parents saying that the DEBTS FOR LIBRARY FINES WERE GOING TO COLLECTIONS. We found out about this because my roommate taught English as a second language at a local elementary school and the parents, who did not speak good English, were TERRIFIED and asking her for help. She called the library and gave them a piece of her mind.

Mine gave up and had a forgiveness weekend, got something like 500+ books back

How about you using this a a teachable moment about accountability and responsibility and pay the easy peasy dang $2.25 fee? {says the retired Daring Librarian) ;P

mine was the first season of Glee. 7 years they kept it on my tab, 7 YEARS

My town got rid of all late fees forever!❤️

Well, at least they weren't collecting interest on it

I went back to my childhood library, and dont you know it. They tried to pin my fathers late fees on me (uniqe lastname), saying they are childrens books, so obviously for me. It wasnt a small amount eighter, since he had many books never returned.

Id reply I was a minor when the fine was given, so any implied contract was with my parents, not me.

So why haven't you paid it already?

Mine was $2.

But they didn't add accrued interest on fine, totaling $12,026.80?

Was it $2.25 PLUS interest for 20 years ?

Paso Robles CA library in the 'Black gold System does not charge late fees And they have a great new program where they will bring books, movies, talking books, music and take back returns to the library for disabled people. Also CA has 'zip books'* state wide. See if your library has this. *'Zip Books'; If the library doesn't have a book you want to read, movies now too, They will order it sent to you, you read and 'return' to the library.

They tried to put my daughter on a payment plan!

I'm ashamed of them! As a librarian myself often library employees are so lazy. Write letter to the head librarian either city or county. So sorry this happened, tell all with details.

They need library staff to man our borders.

Lol 😆

The 2.25 may be the principal, but the late fees are why you had to sell your house, your yacht, three cars and a kidney.

Have you met the irs?

Cue Det. Bookman(Seinfeld).

I think for the kids is good to see parents paying fines

Because they need it you guys, we should fund more libraries!

I returned a book after going through my grandmother's things. They said the fine would have been over $150 (32 years) but since the book was in good condition they'll just take the book and knock off the fine.

My old roommate failed to return a movie, and I was not aware. I got an $80 fine, but they cut it in half and gave me a T-shirt for highest late fees.

Gotta flash for ya, Joy Boy!

With inflation it's $86 now.

Statute of limitations?

One of my daughters library books got lost (fell behind something and we really could find it). After a couple of weeks we got threatening letters... For a kids book that wouldn't be worth 50 cents at a yard sale. We found it, brought it back and quit the library. It helps that we already got a lot of books at home...

Guy Fawkes day?

Barbecue squirrel is way better than baby girl!! 🤣🤣

You don't want to absorb too much serotonin. you need a field of it per se, to allow proper neuron communication. People with low serotonin are put on SSRI meds(Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor). This slows the re-absorption of serotonin, allowing the levels in the brain to rise and re-establishing effective neural firing (the lack of which can cause depression. I have inherited GAD anxiety myself, so SSRI meds don't work. I take SNRI [Selective Noradrenaline Reuptake Inhibitors] meds instead, as Noradrenaline is to anxiety as Serotonin is to depression).

Aren’t we all

Aw kisses for the kitty.

😲

I get it, kid. I totally get it.
