She had to go to a meeting so I'll have to wait until tonight to get the details but yeah.

Why? They have a job to do and only give people a ticket if they are either negligent of the rules, or being selfish.

Probably in the minority, but if people are frustrated with a lack of parking, they should appreciate people overstaying their welcome being fined.

So anyway, there were some people camped in tents in front of a building and she saw four men and a woman accosting this parking inspector. She reckons he was in his 50's. They didn't knock him over but he was trying to use his phone.. maybe to call for help. Personally I would have just got out of there.

What probably sparked my intense dislike is one time getting to my car about one minute late as the inspector was starting to do the ticket and yep, he kept going. Maybe he was an arseh*le for not giving me any grace in this instance but it's formed my opinion.

My issue is they should be there to catch those who blatantly don't give a crap about the parking restrictions. People who park in loading zones, fit people who park in disabled spots, people who well over due (I'd say 5+ minutes over). Every parking ticket I have had (4 in total I think) has been within a few minutes of time expiring. If everywhere you need to go is perfect you'd be back with plenty of time to spare but queues are longer, foot traffic is worse, waiting for assistance in shops, doctors/physios etc running late and so on.

I guess there are assholes in every job.

I'm sure there are some that deserve the crap they get, but for the thankless nature of a job like that, the majority probably are doing a great job of it.
 
Shit happens. Sometimes figuratively.

I got a ticket once because I had to go to the bathroom and that tipped me from getting to my car a minute before expiry time to a minute after. And that was all it took.

They do have a job to do, yes. But there are some who are overzealous and I don't like them at all.

Hey, in the playground did you spend most of your days?

Or am I way off line with that one?

You're an parking inspector, aren't you?

My youngest son's junior football team wears the Hawks colors.

I asked my son if he knew where his brown football shorts are.

The Princess yelled across the room 'just poo in your white shorts and the color and smell will be right, you will fit right in at Hawthorn too'

Ah yes I've trained her well

I haven't driven in yonks (while not a standard unit of measurement, it would equate to approximately 2 months. Unofficially), I have been taking public transport almost exclusively. I have to say that I honestly don't mind it.

A yonk is equivalent to half an age and a quarter of a forever.

Pretty sure I saw Carlisle earlier today working on a building site on my way to Hawthorn station. Had driven past before I could yell, "traitor!"

You should have turned back

You one of those posh people who need walls to have a shit? Oh la-de-dah.

You trying to tell us you've never had to do a "right now" shit when in the midst of some hand washing? Puh-lease.

If you're entertaining outdoors it'd also stop everyone saying "Hey, where's Jab" if you need to go snap one off.

I'd say it's a worthy investment and the agent has done the right thing advertising it as further incentive to rent this baby. 2 indoor and one outdoor photo of said toilet is genius marketing.
