A quick definition of petty offense:

A petty offense is a small crime that is not very serious. It is like when you do something wrong, but it is not a big deal. In the past, there were special courts called petty sessions where people would go to trial for these small crimes without a jury.

A more thorough explanation:

A petty offense is a minor crime or violation of the law. It is a less serious offense than a felony or misdemeanor. Petty offenses are usually punished with a fine or a short jail sentence.

Speeding
Jaywalking
Loitering
Disorderly conduct

These examples illustrate petty offenses because they are minor violations of the law that are usually punished with a fine or a short jail sentence. They are not serious crimes like murder or robbery.

Petty sessions were a type of court in English law that were held to try minor misdemeanors summarily (i.e., without a jury). They were presided over by a justice of the peace and were used to deal with minor offenses quickly and efficiently.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
