Parking Wars

[Pete Incaviglia]

Anyone ever watched this show? I love it.

It amazes how many people think they ARE NOT at fault for a) not paying tickets b) parking in handicap spots c) parking in loading zones d) not having their registration/license/insurance up to date.

It's everyone's fault but theirs. Incredible.

This show is awesome.

It pisses me off. I can't watch for the very reasons you mentioned.

 

[Pete Incaviglia]

I also can't believe how many people have fake insurance.

The people who don't bring the requisite paperwork and then go off on the employees really anger me.
You go to a place like that you know you're gonna need a bunch of paperwork. Why didn't you figure out what you needed before you got there?

The one where the guy drove off as he was being booted was cool, though.

It's on right now here. I had never seen it before, but man watching these people fight with the meter maids, I can only conclude that people suck. I can't imagine not punching one of these people...hard

I know. It fascinates me. The violators are just livid all the time, despite the meter clearly being expired, or the signing clearly reading "no stopping" or whatever else.

I can see politely saying "Ah, please, cut me a break?" If he/she says "no" just suck it up and pay up.

I feel about meter maids the way Bobby Knight does about sportswriters.

Also, I'm not paying the parking tickets scattered around the house, either, so suck it.

A few months ago I parked in a loading zone so I could grab a milkshake.

I walk out a few minutes later and the meter-maid is standing behind my Camry writing out a ticket. I say, "Hello," and just wait for her to finish the paperwork.

"What... Why are you so quiet? Are you not going to argue?" she asked.

"No. I'm in the zone. I saw the sign."

"That's nice of you. Here's a warning."

Being nice saved me $20 bucks!

A few years ago, I got a parking ticket I didn't think I deserved. The nose of my car, not even the front tires, went past the "no parking" sign.
I paid it anyway because it was only $15, but it didn't seem right to me.

I've managed to get an excessive number of parking tickets, but it never occurred to me not to pay them.

You want to talk about parking wars? Go to a casino.
Without failure, whenever I leave Twin River, the moment I set foot in the parking lot, somebody driving by hollers at me, "You leaving?" I swear, drivers stalk people who are leaving for their parking spots.
If somebody really annoys me, I pretend I forgot where I parked, just to get them off my ass. Then, when I find my car, I wave to somebody else driving around before getting in my car so they get my spot instead of the stalker. Somebody, I'll be reading about a murder over a Twin River parking space (it's not there isn't plenty on the premises, people).

You know, I'm as big a defender/lover of reality TV as you'll find. But the fact anyone thought "Let's follow the exciting lives of meter maids!" makes me cry alone at night.

This doesn't sound as interesting to me as "Airline", which I think also was (still is?) on A&E.

 

[imjustagirl]

Airline is/was awesome.

Myself? I like to follow exciting meter maids.
Yow.

*runs off to apply to be a meter maid*

Or they could get off their wallets, spend a couple bucks and use the valet.

I believe "Airline" was canceled, unfortunately. It was good when it focused on drunk fliers and not feel-good stories.
