Traffic Summons

A New York man was forced to take a day off from work to appear for a minor traffic summons. He grew increasingly restless as he waited hour after endless hour for his case to be heard.

When his name was called late in the afternoon, he stood before the judge, only to hear that court would be adjourned for the next day and he would have to return the next day.

"What for?" he snapped at the judge.

His honor, equally irked by a tedious day and sharp query roared, "Twenty dollars contempt of court. That's why!"

Then, noticing the man checking his wallet, the judge relented.

"That's all right. You don't have to pay now."

The young man replied, "I'm just seeing if I have enough for two more words."

The fact that the judge gave him a $20 fine, is that part of the joke or do they do that IRL also?

traffic court is ridiculous. I had that same thing happen to me one day they scheduled me for like 11 and I start work at 10 and its an half hour away so I took off from the start of the day and it took until 3 for them to get to me only to ask me to come back tomorrow because the judge had a more pressing engagement. I was livid. not to mention that when I came back it took like 3 hours again that time. so that was a total of about 10 hours off of work for this one minor traffic violation.
