Taking care of another's mess

Big sis received a moving violation for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. "California rolls" don't go down well with law enforcement.

She left me the paperwork and asked that I do the online traffic school for her. She just handed me a file... without even asking and then left on her business trip. She did notice my balking but hoped I'd acquiesce.

I've never done online traffic school. I wasn't too pleased with her way of telling me to take care of her junk. I let it sit for a while as I considered her request.

I finally informed her that I couldn't do it because I was too busy. Heck, I don't know what are the demands of this thing. I really didn't want to get into something I didn't know what to expect.

The last time I attended a traffic school was way before there was a public Worldwide Web. I did it old school - sat in a large space with 4 walls (and a roof) in the company of numerous other traffic offenders and listened to someone yak away for 6 or 7 hours. I took it like a woman.

The next day, sis tells me to send the file to my brother. Apparently, he's willing to take care of it (not being above him bc he's in law enforcement). Cool. I feel no guilt now for being unable to fulfill her wish.
