Australian Accumulates $32K In Parking Fines

(Undated) -- An Australian woman will be spending more than a decade paying for her poor parking habits. According to the "Geelong Advertiser," Melissa Jaworski has accumulated 152 parking fines, totalling more than 32-thousand-dollars. Fortunately for the 21-year-old, the Geelong Magistrates Court has allowed her to pay off her debt by paying 150 dollars every two weeks. It will wind up taking Jaworski almost 12 years to settle her bill. Magistrate Michael Coghlan doesn't have much compassion for Jaworski's plight stating, quote, "When someone comes to court and says 'poor me I can't afford to pay them' I don't have a lot of sympathy for them."
