Here's a little something to hopefully make you smile ppl.

I do an awful lot of inline skating throughout a week (approx. 70-100km/wk)and have been doing this for the past 3 years.

Well, for the better part of the last 2.5 of those years I have taken to carrrying a little invoice pad (thanks Dollarama!) and writing parking tickets and leaving them under the wipers of these worthless parking enforcement swine.

I would love for you all to do the same, b/c there's nothing that reduces these wannabe pigs to tears faster (and I do mean tears btw) than when you take phone pics of their illegally parked pig-mobiles and then tell them that they have to pay up or you'll send the pic to their superiors, as most of them are far too stupid to realize that you wouldn't actually waste any more of your time than you already have with them. To answer any questions before they're asked: yes, one has paid up ... it was that crazy freak that typically does Avenue Rd just South of the 401.

So please join me in pestering these fools, especially the ones who look like they enjoy their job. I look forward to pics of the tickets, and when I find my old pics (my phone is an old Samsung w/o the usb linkup) that others have received and captured, I'll be sure to post 'em.

Cheers.

exactly...don't bitch at the cops doing THEIR JOB.

if you have a problem with the law, take that up with your city councillor.

to the thread starter...taking a piss? how long are you driving for that you can't stop somewhere or hold it? grabbing lunch? lol...tough shit, find a place to park.

it's the not the cops' fault you're too damn lazy to find a parking space or the business you're patronizing doesn't provide parking.

I love people who bitch about others who are doing their job and following the law, just because it inconvenineces them, lol.

how much $$$ are we talking?

Usually I write it out for $20.

But feel free to charge whatever you want.

Also, when I'm talkin to 'em (which isn't all the time, as often I just write it up & then skate off) I usually frame it as this is an internal spot check and that I've been hired as a freelance consultant to provide additional quality assurance as to the actions of enforcement officers.

This is one of the primary reasons why my g/f won't skate w/ me anymore unless it's along the Martin Goodman lakeshore trail lol.

i figured it would just be a nice little warning "hey bro, im only gonna be 5 minutes, chill with them tickets" and a little heads up for others.. fuck that shit then. i can be sneaky and dirty as fuck with parking but id rather do it semi-legitly, if they wanna fuck around with me then fuck lets roll.

I respect the fact that they are doing their job but, come on, they ticket for such gay shit sometimes and it is so frustrating. like fuck, rather then ticket some poor guy grabbing a lunch or taking a piss go do something useful like towing parked retards on a major street during rush hour which seems like all the fucking time. I just got dinged 30 dollars because the subway I go to is on a side street and there is no parking around, what I do usually is go up far so theres tons of space and im not blocking flow or anything and I'm like 2 feet away from the subway with my 4 ways on, 5 minutes tops and I get a fucking ticket. Fuck off. Same fucking deal with my local mail place, again some brilliant sir decided not to have any parking spots for a fucking major mail place so every time I need to mail I have to go with a friend or run in and out of the place to make sure im not getting fucked. ug and like where the fuck do these guys come from? jesus I've seen like 3 parking cops having a jerk circle about to ticket some guy. he parks, like a minute later 3 of them come from outta nowhere like gorillas in the mist. and they all rub each other off on who gets to ticket him.

so let me get this straight...
you are mad because you got fined for parking in a place that doesnt allow parking or stopping. the fact that the street you parked on is not busy does not matter. it also doesnt matter if you park for one minute or thirty minutes. you are not supposed to park there, period! laws are laws. if you break them then you pay the consequences.

___________________

lol, how about lets instead hate on people that don't know how to park. just go down spadina and check out the best parking skills in the world! seriously, just because there isn't a spot for you to park doesn't mean you have to double park or block the flow of traffic.

small streets don't allow parking for emergency vehicles to go through, do you really want to block a fire truck or ambulance to go through to save some child?

i do understand that people get mad if they park and get a ticket 3 minutes after their time runs out. but seriously, if they keep breaking the rules, the time will just get later and later, so they just follow the rules. i mean, it's easy to figure out how long you will be somewhere or if you realize your time runs out, it's at your own risk.

umm, and also, you may want to stop referring to people you don't like as queers and doing gay things. it comes across very childish.


gays are good!

i know it's hard because i catch myself all the time but i think it's time to put a stop to that.

Ticketing and puzzling parking/traffic restrictions and gouging parking prices (street municpal parking for $4 per hour till midnight on sundays etc) have become an industry in toronto which is why i now avoid downtown like the plague. Id like to know just how many others have stopped bringing their money into the city for the same reasons.

maybe if you were SMART enough to know better or READ the signs... lol

oh GOD!
I went to the Vogue Room (across the street from Mod Club) a month or two ago and had the worst time of my life trying to find parking. Ending up parking on the street like 5-6 blocks down
