Not a massively interesting story (perhaps not that relevant either) but....
A long time ago I had my first car, it was lovely and as a special deal I got to put 5 people on the insurance. I put my dad on as that seemed logical in case he needed it in an emergency and my brother (who is a cunt) offered to pay me money if I put him on, oh good deal I thought.

Anyway to cut a long story short, my brother proceeded to borrow the car without asking, day after day I would wake up to find it gone, or only come home to pick something up to find he had jumped into it while the engine was running and drive off. All the while my parents telling me to calm down and to learn to share.....

Anyhow one day I got a letter from the local council, apparently I had been parking my car day after day on double yellow lines, pay and display car parks and private parking spaces all across the city without paying the appropriate fees and racked up over £500 in parking tickets.

'Fuck you' I thought so I wrote off to them explaining that my car has over 5 people on the insurance and that anyone of them could have been driving it on the dates they had provided, if they wished I would relay them the addresses of said named drivers (some family didn't live at home at this time). They wrote back saying that it was I that had to do the detective work as I was the registered owner of the car or else I would have to pay, a quick chat to my dad's solicitor quickly proved them wrong.

Every now and again they still send a letter asking my mum, dad or aunt about the dates in question, over 12 years later, and they say we need to stop the councils wasting money.

Years later I helped 'the man' by dobbing my brother in on the illegal loans he took out in my name and my dad's, so it all balances out.

Good for you perhaps.
But this means, surely, that anyone who decides to set out not to pay parking fines and the like gets off scott-free?
Time to form a car share club with a few friends, I think...

Now I hope you won't take offence
But your brother sounds like a class A twat.

I think you need
to stick it to the man less, and hit your brother with a stick more, to be honest.
