Yes, my license was in jeopardy, for unpaid state taxes. Long story, but my soon-to-be-ex did not file or pay state or federal income taxes for 4 years. I was not aware of this as he had given me the forms to sign each year. Then one day I get a court order that my license will be suspended for unpaid taxes. I scrambled around, got an accountant, filed separately, paid my taxes, and was able to keep my license. Interesting that the state would take away my livelihood for financial problems. But thank goodness the state did not penalize me for his unpaid taxes! The IRS is a different story, but at least they don't seem to want my lisence.

I get really tired of parents who lie. Especially when there is a clear paper trail. If you didn't get your kid's physical or immunizations done, just admit it and fix it. Work with me! Also parents who send their kids to school sick with fevers "because they wanted to go to school." Who's the adult here? Parents also lie about their kids having lice or about treating lice. The ones whose kids have recurring lice always say, "but I combed their hair for 3 hours!" For some reason, it's always "3" hours. The kid will tell you that the parent never even touched the hair. Also, staff who are so barf-phobic that they make a poor kid who's hurling run down the hall with a wastebasket past 2 bathrooms to get to my office "just in time". Or staff who will wait til dismissal time, then send a kid to me who has been writhing in pain all day, or lethargic and not responsive all day. Thanks for letting me know!
