“Booted for less than $100 in tickets”

“Dear PoPville,

Wanted to share my experience this morning as both a chance to vent and an opportunity to warn drivers in DC. I had my car booted this morning for $96 in tickets, from 2 parking tickets. This seems like an incredibly trivial amount to boot a car over, and for two tickets I had honestly not remembered (an email warning would have been nice, as I’m signed up for email alerts). In addition to this, they scratched the wheel they attached it to. I have a RPP and DC plates, having just renewed. Seems like something that could have been brought to my attention then!

The man that came to un-boot me was quick, knowledgable and super kind. He polished off the wheel with a cloth after removing the boot, and then gave me a direct supervisor number to file a complaint, at which point he said it this happens “all the time” and that for such a small amount the government would absolutely lose money after paying for the wheel repair.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
