Parking Inspectors

When I used to work for a café in Melbourne, the parking inspectors used to come round and blackmail the owner into giving them free food and drinks whenever they wanted it. If we didn’t give in to them, they used to give all of us staff and our customers tickets, even if we were legally parked. Not long after I left that café went out of business because people were so sick and tired of getting tickets when they had done nothing wrong. Any time we actually confronted the parking inspector that gave us the ticket he would just give us a smug look and say we could contest it if we wanted to, knowing full well it wouldn’t make a difference if we did. His excuse when confronted was always “it was an oversight.” What a pile of crap. Those inspectors are nothing but dirty thugs, and completely ruined someone’s livelihood just to get free food. I hope they rot in hell for what they’ve done.

I was parked in a back street for 3 minutes 20 seconds last Tuesday nigt just to duck into a shop and grab a pack of smokes, and the bastards fined me for having one wheel up on the curb!  I couldn’t believe it, in such a short time at night and I get a ticket that I should never have received.  Was he watching me or something?  I didn’t even know they could fine you for that cause boy would they be busy all day just checking out to see how many cars they could book just for that.  Next they’ll be out with the measuring tape and booking you for being 3 inches too close to the curb!  I reckon that the parking inspectors here might want to look at getting security guards like they do in Auckland cause I won’t  be responsible for any ‘accidents’ that might happen.  Up yours council!
