busted for curfew and fined $360, that was pretty unexepectedIf you're busted for curfew that would imply you're a minor, unless this was a few years ago.

I had to pay $100 for when my xbox red ringed the day Halo 3 came out.Not really expensive but was definitely unexpected.
My xbox red ringed about a week ago, someone told me they will fix it for free for 3 years is that true? :S
if its been 3 years since you bought it then your Fked but if it hasn't been 3 years you still have a warranty that lets you get a new one each and every time you get the rrod(red ring of death) you only have to call their customer service(1-800-4my-xbox(1-800-469-9269) and send your Xbox if your lucky they will give you a month of xbox live gold for free(BTW it might take 2 weeks or even a month before you get your xbox back)
I think my warranty was only 1 year :/ I have had my xbox for two.
if you bought it brand new(unopened) then you still have the warranty

Curious and Wondering
In highschool junior year, our standard field trip costs PhP 500. So when the final collection day for the trip fee came, I was prepared for at least the standard cost for the past three years of PhP 500. I was surprised when it was announced that there were changes in itenerary and travel arrangemennts (bus), so everyone is advised to pay PhP 900. I was PhP 400 short, I have no money, and both of my parents and uncles were out of town to visit granny's sister.
I ended up owing several of my classmates (and even 2 of my teachers) some money to be able to attend the trip.

I got into a accident during this past winter (which was goddamn nasty) and I needed a new car. I bought a new one, which was around 1800 for a nice Concorde. Bought it thinking it had nothing wrong with it. The people bragged how they hardly touched it, only used it for grocery runs...no. I needed another 1000 to fix the damn thing.

I had a huge party for my birthday back in Jan, The evite said cash only but only 10 out of my 25 friends brought cash. I shelled out $400 on my own birthday! WTF! I kinda felt like a pimp with all those $20s though. (The reason I had cash was not because I'm some awesomely expensive hooker, it was excess xmas/b-day and a little cause I got paid that weekend. Don't worry they all paid me back!

Textbooks. I'm never fully prepared for how much they cost.The internet can save you a lot of money.
It's foolish to pay $200 bucks or more for something that's gonna be out of date in a few years (or months).

Car overheating constantly and mechanics saying it's fixed when it's not.

busted for curfew and fined $360, that was pretty unexepectedI was caught out after curfew several times in my youth and all that ever really happened was the cops telling me to get my ass straight home, and that if they saw me again, shit was going to get real unpleasant.
Cops threaten me a lot, even still, but very little legal action has ever really been taken against me, and when it is, the cops are usually cool as hell about it.
I'm to understand that my experiences with the authorities are not typical. But then again, I'm pretty good at being white and looking innocent, it would seem.

I've done that... passed out from lack of eating. Probably would have been fine if it weren't for my obsessive need to work out. I passed out in the middel of push-ups from lake of nourishment.

Did you wake up with a bruise on your face?
know what would be terrifying? Falling asleep while benching. Now that would blow.
