I have to imagine there are times they come across a bill collector or someone either doesn’t know their job or just doesn’t give a shit and lets them off the hook.
You’re working at Comcast in the collections department, you’re having a shitty day and an envelope full of legal looking papers comes across your desk saying to void a $300 bill? Fuck it, push the ‘void’ button and on to the next one, who cares.
During the whole yo-yo craze, did you accidentally break the classroom’s fishtank with a yo-yo, landing you a month’s worth of detention? During a detention session where the teacher is not present, you rummaged through her desk for your yo-yo and discover personal ad written by the teacher, ultimately deciding to respond to it as a prank?
