My attacker was a woman with long box braids. I agree I think it’s likely the same few people. I hope anyway! All this hate has no place on earth.

So sorry you experienced that! I’m also an Asian American and was attacked on the Farragut West metro platform about a year ago. I made a report to metro police which resulted in nothing. I hope they’re able to catch whoever harassed you! This is not ok behavior!

Jimmy T’s Place. It’s a good touristy walk from there to the mall. Cash only but I love this hole in the wall.

Happened to a friend of mine except with the luggage store lmao.

She actually went up and tried to go in and the guard was like “ma’m this is the Pentagon.”

I was making less than 20k a year after taxes and was able to live in DC just fine. Found cheap housing with roommates. Ate a lot of instant ramen.

Ugh. Yes. Which is why I don’t want to give the city money but I have no choice if I want to keep driving my dog to her sitter.

After reading that statute, I did receive a notice of infraction but not a summons, as far as I know. However, section (d) does hold me liable, I think, which does lead me to conclude that I should just pay it. Having this ticket over my head doesn’t seem worth it to save $100.

Thank you for trying though! I think the overwhelming response from my query is that there is a (seemingly very) low chance of getting this ticket thrown out, which is really all that I was asking (even if embarrassing, idgaf.)

I appreciate this. Thank you!

If I could bring 2 dogs on the bus/metro, I would have never bought this stupid car 2 months ago in the first place!

This is probably the most confusing comment, as I've seen deer on Nebraska Ave definitely not stop for any reason.

I've been driving for two months. Honestly, fair.

I have actually been hit by a car on my bike and was sent flying, twice.

I did not refuse to follow basic laws. That is simply not true. If you are scared for your life, are you still going to follow the law??

I'm absolutely not trying to get sympathy! I'm sincerely trying to understand if anyone has had luck with contesting a ticket by admitting with an explanation.
Additionally, I am unfortunately not surprised by the responses here. I've noticed that a lot of people on this sub love to tell other people to pay tickets when they probably can try to contest it.

Maybe I would have come to a full stop if I wasn't scared for my life! Jeezus. I ALWAYS stop at stop signs and I had every intention of doing so, but I'm not going to come to a full stop if I'm scared! It's literally a human reflex to run when you think you are in danger. It was really dark out and the flash scared me. Even if it is embarrassing, I will still admit that I was scared.

Anyway, this encouraged me to contest it because I stand by that I would have stopped if the camera wasn't faulty. Apparently that camera is known to not be accurate: Here

I actually love the 19 crimes red.

I try to only buy wine that is less that $8 a bottle. Thank you for the rec!

RIP purple moon merlot. My favorite 😭

Looks like Tues is my day to go to TJ’s. I will call ahead next time. Thanks so much!!

I was hoping there would be a TJ’s employee somewhere around here. Thank you for any insight you can offer.

I haven’t seen Purple Moon in ages. Does TJ’s still carry that?
