At least there are cute teachers in South Korea.

I average one or two a year. It's just another way of paying to park.

I call B.S.!!!!

Parking ticket? One. Thirty plus years ago.

Walmart. Home Depot. Target. Kohl's. Ace. Take as much time as you need, no parking meters AND lower prices. Even if there is a higher tax rate you pay less.
Sure, there are benefits to shopping downtown . . . . . . just can't think of any . . .

Probably driving her daddy's Escalade. Doesn't mean he didn't pay the fine. Still call B.S. Tickets are numbered and must be accounted for, carbon copies turned in don't go away.

Sara, are you always a brat?
kernal 1 year, 10 months ago
Sara, depending on where and how long ago that happened, and if the car was registered in your name, you may want to check and make sure there's not a warrant out with your name on it or the car owner's name.

Only 1 in the 25 years I've lived here.At a football game on the hill.Didn't see the "NO parking "sign until we got ready to leave and the big van in front of us pulled off.

I am like Roe about thirty to thirtyfive years ago, don't go there anymore, nothing but eating places anyway-----

Going downtown is about being seen. Witness Protection Services advise againstit.

If you could see her eyes you'd know she's lyin' . . .

Some exploit the system, then try to assuage their guilt by whining about the Koch's.

I was downtown with my friend, Gus, who reneged on his turn to spring for the lunch tab. We headed back to his car when Gus realized he'd forgotten his phone & had to go back. While I waited for him, I took the ticket off the car next to his & placed it under Gus' wiper blade. When he returned, he grabbed it, stuffed the fine inside & a crammed it in the collection box. And he still had time on the meter. Silly Gus.

21st. At least a three per year. I think the Parking Nazi has been getting up earlier and writing tickets faster ever since the rates went up downtown. She is a fierce woman but jokes on her, I just consider it my yearly donation to the city.
snap_pop_no_crackle 1 year, 10 months ago
autie, lemurs have a very vague sense of time. Parking meters mean nothing to them. They'll walk up to a tree and stick quarters into a knothole and walk away thinking they're legally parked.

Ever since I got my Apache helicopter, nobody dares give me a ticket. If they try, I kindly point them to the .50 cal. cannon and they just nod and walk away. Quickly. Not to mention the attack dogs I've got in co pilot.
vertigo 1 year, 10 months ago
I call BS. The Apache is armed with a 30mm chain gun. It has no .50 cal cannon. If you owned one you would know this.
Pitt_Mackeson 1 year, 10 months ago
I carry one around strapped to my back hairs with duct tape :D
Pitt_Mackeson 1 year, 10 months ago
Few drums per hour. With the attack dogs it's a lil more. canttalkaboutit

ive only had one since i left my car downtown overnight... better than paying $5,000 for a DUI
BrianR 1 year, 10 months ago
So Sara parked illegally and littered. Nice. Tearing them up doesn't make them go away, genius.
