"The FR-S always pops up on lists of hot performance cars within the $25K range, so it’s no mystery as to why it’s on this list as well. A significant number of FR-S drivers have been cited for some type of driving violation over the previous three years. Given its sports car looks, it’s no wonder why this car gets pulled over a lot. Knowing you’ve got all that horsepower at your disposal, anyone would be tempted to floor it."

See they are confused. the title is "Most Frequently Ticketed" not "Most Frequent Speeding Tickets". The ratio of no front plate to speeding tickets is probably pretty wide.

I imagine that "improper equipment" tickets are very common. With all the aftermarket parts listed as "For off road use only!"

Or if some people are to be believed then several tickets would be for obstruction of traffic

"The law states that it is unlawful for the driver or operator of any vehicle to operate or stop a vehicle in such a manner as to block or obstruct any roadway to prevent the free use of any roadway for the purpose of travel by other vehicles, either willfully or when such driver or operator is able to avoid doing so by ordinary care."

So it is that time of year here at work when we finalize our budget. I am the sys admin for the budget and reporting system. We have had the same system for 14 budget years now.

The budget staff is stuck as usual. You would expect after 14 years the budget staff would know more about loading and consolidating the budget than the system admin, since I don't load budget, but no. They run to me to fix everything. As I do each year, I try to guide them to learn and do it themselves, but no. My boss tells me, after the budget staff flops around like dying fish for a week, to be around this week to help the budget manager and his staff met their deadlines.

SO they are stuck. They have all the same tools I have, but no, they still can't figure it out. It is pretty simple. Tedious, but simple (like most accounting). They struggle for two weeks and cant get it done. My boss says to fix it. I go in, fix it in a couple hours, and have a 2.3 BILLION dollar budget consolidated and reconciled within 10 bucks (rounding errors).

My boss asks me why the budget staff has such problems every year, and why the process is so complicated according the budget staff. I tell her it is not complicated. I say I don't know why the budget staff can't get it done. Either it IS really complicated and I am just a fucking genius, or the budget staff is stupid as a box of rocks. Pick one. BTW, I am far from a genius.

My work rant for the month.

Well, I'd suggest you just consider that situation part of your job security and be happy -

I've never been in a BMW that wasn't a complete piece of shit.
