It takes a special kind of person to rack up $18,000 in parking tickets and $13,000 in interest for not paying them off.
She said she accepts responsibility for the tickets, but nearly eight years later, she questions whether the amount is reasonable.
“You want to recoup costs and penalties, I get that,” the Topeka woman said. “But when the interest is nearly equal to the principal, there’s something diametrically wrong.”
Remember, she's a special kind of person (if her use of the word "diametrically" wasn't a clue itself):
Marcotte considers herself a responsible person who went to college and had worked the same job for 13 years. The lapse in judgment was out of character, she said.

maybe i'll use that same excuse about my mortgage - there is something diametrically wrong that i'll be paying interest equal the the principal.

And incidentally, his choice of wording was correct. For his intention, "rack" is indeed the word he needed.
