I'd be pretty confused by all the signage and flashing lights, as well. <br /><br />No offense to all the good men and ladies from the Northeast - but I'd heard it generally accepted that Bostonians are awfully rude overall. <br />Pretty sure I'd lose miserably, were I to try and go one-on-one with that toll operator. It sounds as if you made the wise decision to take the high road (no pun intended). <br />Or, as my son in Alabama says, just kill 'em with kindness.

We have toll roads here, usually they are less traffic so people with money so to speak, LOL, will use them to get from point A to point B quicker. One time we went on one of them when we first moved back down here and we got confused where we were supposed to pay the toll. Sure enough we got a ticket. I wrote a letter explaining we had just moved from Montana to here and it was our first time on the road (which was true). They just made us pay the actual toll and not the fine that came along with it :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-50009024154422093482014-07-28T20:01:05.689-04:002014-07-28T20:01:05.689-04:00having been through many toll booths I understand ...having been through many toll booths I understand your problem.

see how ...I don't like toll booths. I don't<br />see how they make any money. They<br />have to pay employees and they work long hours.<br /><br />I missed last night I think you<br />stay up all night writing. That<br />is beautiful country. The pie looks good.

The plus side is that the actual users of the highway are the ones who are paying, but it sure seems like an inefficient and cumbersome way to collect money. My theory is that if someone could cut out the waste, we're already paying enough in gasoline taxes to cover these costs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198585505712843153noreply@blogger.com
