I had a helmet stolen at 11 years old, this was right when we implemented a law for bicycle helmets. I was given a ticket that day and my parents expected me to go door to door asking if I could do lawn work for money. Anyway I had to pay like 300$ since it just sat and accrued for 5 years when I wanted my drivers license. They fucked me bad.

The original ticket was like 45$

The law and your parents are assholes for not paying that for you and at least having you pay them back

How the fuck can an 11 year old be fined? What state was this insanity in?

Yep I worked on a farm as a farmhand. Shoveling shit from stalls, feeding down sawdust from the holding room (great way to ruin shoes), and feeding the cows/horses/sheep.

Great experience in hindsight, but it was fucking work. I was getting paid $2.50/hr btw.

Oh, if we're counting those types of jobs, I've been working since I was like 10.
