To the two completely useless tools who pretend to work in Parking Enforcement with their walkie-talkies and air of importance: You two come into the cafe I work at, sit there most of the day (about four of the nine hours that I worked), hog the crossword puzzles before anyone else can and then wonder about why your ass is getting big while you eat your third treat of the day. I can’t believe people like this make more money than I do. GAH! —Cafechick

Your thrid treat? Who the fuck uses the word treat. What is this Halloween? The OP is just jealous. But hey, the more these dinks sit around the less money they will be stealing from the folk.
yeah, but do you really want to be a ‘parking enforcer’???
watch ‘the delicate art of parking’ and then make your decision.
Ever think of, oh I don’t know, calling Parking Enforcement and report their lazy asses?
Report them to the City. Or get pictures and post them online. CBC would love a story of more lazy, incompetent city staff.
take a video for the entire time they are in there :), upload to youtube and send the link to their superiors 🙂 haha
Yea – but atleast the ticket nazis are wasting time NOT giving tickets !!!! Give them a free coffee for the rest of us that miss getting to the meter two minutes late !!!! Maybe install a big couch and pillows so the ticket nazi’s can have a snooze too and we don’t have to worry about a ticket for parking 2 centimeters more infront a no parking zone and catching a ticket / Shake they’re hands for us and secretly spit in they’re coffee!!!
sebastian_ not all parking enforcement agents are city employees, many work for the private firm who holds the contracted-out portion of the enforcement and don’t have a union to help them nor do they make anywhere near what a city employee would make. I agree with weedhog on this one – let them sip their coffee instead of complaining that they aren’t writing tickets.
wait, weed…
you can’t seriously be condoning giving them their paid day which tax-payers pay for… to sleep and eat crap and do nothing all day because you don’t want to get ticketed.
that’s like paying off the bully so he doesn’t steal your lunch money.
Since your putting it that way ZZZ , actually I thought it over and no I don’t condone that !!! I guess I was pissed because i got a ticket the other week for being less then a foot past a sign for no stopping and legally in a spot . I was venting . I just hate ticket nazi’s .
It’s ok if i actually get a ticket for really parking stupid . I’ll pay that . I find just the petty tickets for a couple inches really annoying and prefer not to get them .
Love “The Delicate Art of Parking” – thought I was the only person who’d watched the flick.
well they have to wait someplaced for the chalk to wash off your tires, so they can give you another ticket.
