When Auckland resident Justin Lee received the above speeding ticket back in 2004, he noticed a typo: according to said notice, the infringement in question had taken place 30 years beforehand, in 1974, on the day he was born. His entertaining response was read by Taika Waititi at Letters Live at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2019.

I bet that letter is still pinned up on the infringment office pin board as something for staff to laugh at on break.
i wish this was animated
So I rang mum!😂
p.s this reminds me of the time I bought a loaf of bread that according to the date it had on it, was baked tomorrow!😂
Not a team, my dear try James Bond. I know that it’s going to say edited but the truth is I’ve got no hands to fix anything I’m using voice to text and I wanted to add when he says not when I say not the team, I say James Bond, I’m referring to the license plate mechanism that he talks about.
Taika Waititi, what an actor. He is great in "our flag means death!"
Seven-year-olds! 😂
Lost chapter from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy?

My husband received a parking ticket for overstaying at a shopping outlet over 100 miles from where we live. The photo showed a black Toyota saloon leaving 15 mins late. Our car was a silver Kia Ceed at the time. We had never been to the place 100 miles away. Furthermore my husbnd was in hospital on the day of the 'crime' with a broken leg in a brace a broken wrist in a brace and an injury to his neck also in a brace (All this after a fall from a height). I had to send them time dated photographs of my husband in hospital, a doctors report of his injuries, of our car of his insurance – he was the only one insured to drive it -and his hospital discharge papers. All this to prove it wasnt him for a 15 minute overstay in a bloody car park. Rabid Vulture bullies after money. No apology for getting it wrong no sorry about your husbands accident, just a shitty letter saying their camera had recently been calibrated and was correct after i suggested their camera need glasses. The 'camera' showed a 'V' in the registered number plate and ours Clearly had a 'Y'.
It's nice to inject a little humor into, what can otherwise be, a boring exchange/task.
I was at the grocery store one day looking into the bargain bin full of chocolate biscuits (probably close to end of 'best before date'), pondering if I should or shouldn't indulge. As I was standing there a lady walked up and politely said 'excuse me', and took a pack from the bin. I looked at the pack she had in her hand, and disappointedly said "Ohh…I wanted that one"
She looked from the pack in her hand to the the ones in the bin, seeing they were all the same, and looking really confused, she slowly handed the pack towards me.
I smiled and said "Just kidding! They're all the same", grabbed a pack and walked off. She burst out laughing.
I grabbed a few other items in the store and when I approached the checkout she waiting in line with her back to me, still chuckling LOL
Taika twiddle my TaTas please.😮😊😊😊
