:angry: Had a run in with a parking ...person .. this afternoon , brain dead bint.
I was working in the city today , on the new Ministry of justice site . Because it was so cold , i decided to start a bit later (after sunrise) so my usual park was full.
I parked in the restart mall car park ... cnr of St Asaph and Colombo (for those who know the city)
The sign said 3 hours max ... no problem I thought , i can zip down and buy some more time ... however , when i went to pay at the machine , i found that i could park there until 1500hrs for $18.00 .
Paid , got the ticket , put it on the dashboard and went to do I what had to do.
Anyway ... i got back to the car at 1450hrs to find a ticket about to be placed on my car. I pointed out to the trog concerned that i still had 10 minutes left and was going to add another hour.
She pointed to the sign that said "3 hours max" ... and without looking at me kept working on her tablet thing processing the ticket.
At this point i took the parking receipt from the car and thrust it in front of her ..... "$18.00 paid until 3pm" , no eye contact ... just a gesture to the 3 hour sign.

I was extremely tired , very cold , i really needed a coffee ... and this person was becoming a tad irritating , to say the least.
Enough was enough .... i told her , I have paid $18.00 to park here ... i have a receipt, your machine took my money , and if you point to that 3 hour sign again I'll wrap it around your neck .

In the meantime , another victim of this nasty bit of work turned up with the same compliant ... and he already had a $60 ticket , and still had 2 hours left.
He , unlike me ... was a little more direct , and after a short conversation she departed.

I have kept the receipt , i have a confirmation on my bank statement that i paid , just in case it moves up a level.

Come on CCC , we are helping rebuild your broken bloody city ... dont add more stress .

YEAH it is bloody ridiculous, as you no exactly what the street system is here, and in they go .. and I was against put signage up and good excuse as well but NOPE .. just another revenue money collection , what I see also is a lot of medical staff who work at the Riccarton Medical Clinic who were regulars are forced out ... biggest thing is school kids (girls) taking up parking spots close to the Villa Maria College ... have they not heard of exercise cos some off them surely need it !

Saw a news item this morning about Wilson Parking in Auckland pulling the same stunt. I can see why people think that this is just a scheme to see how many just shut up and pay -- you could increase your profit by a few percent.

It takes a certain type of individual to become a Police Officer/Traffic Cop, Traffic Warden, Vehicle Clamper, Council Employee, Saturday Morning Children's Cinema Attendant, etc...

Someone who enjoyed being a bully at school, and now wishes to carry on doing the same thing in adult life, under cover of; "The Law"...!

I treat them all with great suspicion...and often with much contempt....!.... :unsure: ...!

Paul.... :wink2: ...!

Phantom Parking Post Remover :lol: Look's like wishful thinking on my part or maybe Marty's , I only noticed it yesterday coming back shops down Bowen St, there is a "Parking 120" sign in the gutter, concrete mount and dirt, council would not leave it like this, looks like they have a 'PPPR' in the streets and maybe clandestine operation in the fog .... that will cheer you up Marty :lol:

Here we go: WORD from the 'Phantom Parking Post Installer' , heard the 'tap tap tap' of the hammer outside, went out for a chat ... even he could not see the logic of putting parking signs in , he straight said no place to BLOODY PARK here, thought was all these food shops popping up are the cause , you have to see the Mayhem here when Six huge three axle tour bus's arrived ... simply here watching GO FOR IT :groupwave: GO FOR IT ... :lol: It really was a wise choice (BULLSHIT) to build and plop so many food shops and restaurants ..... supremely Ideal for me , but best just to use LPC's .

Well that did not take long ... PMM 'Parking Man Man' must have been here around 11.30 this morning or was hiding in the bush's waiting to pounce , I see he nailed five cars .. not sure what a over two hour parking ticket costs but the Phantom Parking Post Remover might be back with a vengeance.

One of the many things I like about my Motor-Bikes..... :D .....

They mostly can be parked for free!..... (with careful/sensible placement).

There is no place to put a parking sticker on a Motor-Bike, without it getting stolen off the Bike by Motorists!

...I like free parking!.... :rockon: ...!

...(Free Love is nice too).... :rolleyes: ....!

Paul.... :D ...!
