First let me start by saying that I realize I was in the wrong to park on that side of the street on a street cleaning night and will gladly pay for my lack of parking commitment. This is not my bitch! My bitch is that the person put the ticket on my windshield in the rain at night, and I (due to my own laziness) left the ticket to bake in the sun most of the following day… To my surprise the ticket has melted itself to my windshield. Not a problem, this can be remedied with a razor blade, but how do I now pay the damn ticket?
Now I have to go to wherever the ticket office is and explain what happened and why I have no ticket to present. Why-o-why must we switch to a plastic based ticket when plain old paper has worked so well as a reminder that the parking douche-bags are constantly watching out for my best interest? —STEPHEN HARPER IS THE DEVIL

I was almost laughing while reading your bitch and then really laughed when I saw your tag.
Well, if it was a paper ticket, it would have gotten ruined in the rain anyway….
Nothing to do with Harper or Ignatieff and Layton is from the party that loves the idea of parking tickets and more money in government coffers than yours.
You can pay online using the number on the ticket. The old ticket used a lot more paper and the environment is more important than you according to Lizzie May.
Just out of curiosity, did your street get cleaned that night? Does your street ever get cleaned on a street cleaning night? Nope, didn’t think so. Welcome to HRM (Horribly Run Municipality) where everything – EVERYTHING – is about the money.
This is Stephen Harper and you’re a solid gold moron.
yeah, but doesn’t stupidity get you a free pass.
Bahhh I hate it when there’s “street cleaning night” and no actual street cleaning!
Better to have it sometimes at least than basically never at all like here in Edmonton. Streets are never cleaned and all the sand they use on the roads from the winter is still there! Sucks when the wind picks up and you get these mini dust storms because of it. At least the sand doesn’t do as much damage to your car as salt, though!
Ditch the car. Problem solved.
You left the ticket sitting on your windshield for about a day and you’re bitching?
(hits button – trap door in floor opens – OP disappears)
NEXT!!
I laughed on Saturday when I saw the parking enforcement officer issuing tickets on the streets near the Farmers’ Market. I guess granolas don’t know how to read a “NO PARKING” sign.
buddy,this is the most pathetic bitch ive ever read…grow some balls and bitch about real things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey, I got a ticket once…. (and only once) and it was damp out… so I folded it up and put it in my wallet so that I could go pay it….
it sealed together and was nearly completely illegible once I pried it back open.
I said to them, “well here’s my liscence, just look it up.
the car’s in my name… as is the liscence obviously”.
they couldn’t access those parts of the system so if you don’t have that number, you’re scaaaaa-rewed. So we sat there guessing ticket numbers that kinda looked like some of the letters/digits until we figured it out.
insanity.
Look at all the lame ass coments. Not that this topic is really all that thought provoking but consider me dissapointed by halifax mentor. A person with this little to say should keep his keyboard unplugged, and I do believe wrestling WWE is about to start so grab your foam finger and beer hat, and try not to spill mustard on your wife beater you no talent assclown.
