Sorry for the strange continuity here, I adapted this from an IM conversation.

I was coming home on the pa tpk after getting a PPI done on my STi and didn't have my ezpass so i inadvertently went through a ticket lane at the tollbooth that had just closed and had a red light up. As i am pulling in with nowhere else to go they start waving me back like retards, so i go the 10 feet to the booth. The lady is like "no, i'm not taking your ticket, the light was red," and some other guy is shouting too. They were like "back out! back out!" I said uh, i think that is a little unsafe, i am not backing out, sorry for the honest mistake. So they keep yelling at me to back out, i returned with what the f, that is not safe, take my ticket. They wouldn't, so then I started asking for their names and they wouldn't give them. They started swearing at me left and right, and the guy walked right up to my passenger window with a broom in hand. The toll booth operator said the guy was her manager, so i asked for his name, he said he wouldn't give it to me and asked for my name. I said my name is Chris, what's yours, and he said mike. So I said look, mike, i made an honest mistake, it is not a big deal, it is not safe to back out into heavy traffic, so take my ticket. They finally they took it, but wouldn't give me a receipt. Ii immediately filed a complaint with the toll commission, who said a district manager will be looking into it and getting back to me.

I forgot how great ezpass is!

Just another reason why EZPASS or something similar to it should be mandatory.

Get rid of those lazy ass toll collectors.
