How many pets do you have?Must have a huge house with the family and pets in the city.We have a cat that our daughter forced us to keep for her and is a freaking liability to travel etc.Reminds me of our house keeper Babcia who lives in Poland now has ducks,rabbits,dogs,cows,pigs,piegons,chickens,a horse and plenty more in her village house in Poland.The yard looks like a zoo and the work she has to do feeding and cleaning and taking care of a garden with veggies and fruit trees.I tell ya Polish babcias are tough,at age 70 something she also rides a bike to a church in the village everyday.LOL Pawian you sound to me like her in cpl of decades when you be her age.

Law / Bus ticket fine in Poland (Warsaw) - what if I don't pay the fine? [36]


Sometimes in some machines the receipt comes out from the front slot and the original ticket falls in a slot below the machine,so my guess is that you picked the receipt and didnt pick the ticket,so the inspector was right.I had the same mistake once but luckily no inspector caught me.
