The Nap That Cost Me $100!
We had this as our rock poll yesterday and I was suprised to see it come down to quite liteally a 50/50 split amongst people who voted. Half of you thought I deserved the parking ticket. Half didn't. If you missed it, I went home and was just planning to stop for 5 minutes to grab my gym bag. Upon going in my house, I was like man I am pretty tired, I think I might grab a quick nap and then head out. So I did. Then I went to leave and bam, City of Saskatoon parking ticket on my window! (Because I had only planned to run inside I just pulled up in front of my house with the drivers side next to the curb). Since when is that illegal? The ticket says I was parked illegally with my drivers side to the curb. Was I ratted out by a neighbour? I been nothing but a good quiet neighbor! I summed up my toughts with this rant. And be sure to check back for all my rants in the podcast section. I been better with updating them!

Gregger!
Are you Dr. Phil, Sportsfan ... etc
WHAT ?
are you serious ?
you haven't figured out that all the voices are gregger ?
sorry gregger, maybe you are that good and it was a lucky guess by me.
Sorry buddy, I didn't
Sorry buddy, I didn't realize this was a common knowledge. I guess you are far more superior at voice recognition than I am. That will come in handy when you are taking people's orders at your job at the MacDonald's drive thru.
gee
you are a lot more witty than I am.
and I always thought it was MCDONALDS and that the big MAC was a juiced baseball player.
have fun working at Sarcan. See, I can play that game too JackA$$.
True but
I outwitted you by using a reference for your innate ability to recognize voices (hence the drive thru) whereas you just picked out a place of business you think is sub par because of the employees that work there.
you don't get it
but that's ok.
have a nice day.
That makes no sense. The
That makes no sense. The guy talking about your ignorance about sarcan employees is bang on!

No one should get a ticket in front of their own house
Gregger, I know how you feel. This happened to me a few years back and I was pissed off. It was really cold outside and I had my car parked facing my husband's truck so we could plug into the same extension cord. It was only about the third time I did it.
Along comes parking control and gives me a ticket. My neighbour phoned me to tell me he was there and I ran out there. Turns out I knew the guy, which made it WORSE! He said that once he starts writing the ticket he can't go back.
No one should get a ticket in front of their own house. Those guys don't drive up and down residential neighbourhoods looking for people parking this way. Someone calls them.
My ticket was $100 as well, but I paid it within two week and it was reduced to $40.
I bet all these people telling you that you broke the law and to suck it up, would feel different if it happened to them. I'm sure EVERYBODY parks that way occasionally, even for a few minutes.
of course I have
but for less than 2 minutes. I have never parked like that and go and had a frickin NAP !!!!!
If he parked liked that and ran in to get his gym bag, like he said he was going to do and was back in 3 minutes and got a ticket, THEN I'd have a problem with it. Sorry Gregger, you took a nap man and people noticed.
boo hoo
you got a ticket. suck it up.
you broke a by-law, and they caught you.
Enough already !!
Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
OK I hate tickets, I get them all the time lots of them but that's life and truth be told when it comes to parking I never plug the meter and I pay less in tickets than if I did plug the meter. But whatever that's a different kind of ticket.
Don't do the crime if ya can't do the time, so like the last post said suck it up, don't park like a lazy idiot and you won't get a ticket.
At this point I will add that one time when I was a wee kid, possibly old enough to drive, possibly not (yeah I know about doing the crime) I parked like that and came out to find a peice of paper under my windshield and all it said was "Thisaway no thataway" with an arrow. Haven't parked like that since! (ok I have just haven't gotten caught)
Hmmm is it the evil ticket givers or are you the universes b!tch :)
