Today I park at a spot to drop my wife off so she can do a quick errand, It's a 15 minute passenger load/unload zone that is not busy at all.
I pull into the spot but not enough cause the rear was sticking out a bit.So I'm sitting in the car and a meter maid chalks my tire does a U-turn and proceeds to ticket the car across the street.
I notice some cars are moving out a little bit due to my jutting rear so I repark the car so that I am parallel with the curb.
The meter maid yells at me from across the street "what do you think you are doing?"
I say, Huh? What are you talking about?
"I should give you a ticket for trying to cover up my chalk mark"
I tell him that I'm just re-parking the car cause the rear was sticking out.
"No your not your trying to cover my chalk mark, I should write you a ticket right now"
I said "well, go ahead than, it won't stand up in court cause I've been here less than 2 minutes"
He proceeds to lecture me about parking enforcement and I'm ignoring him at this point and he finally hops in his little ticketing scooter and finally leaves without issuing a ticket.
I'm sitting there thinking what a fuckin asshole, I ran into meter maids in NYC that had more courtesy than this asshat.
Maybe he was having a bad hair day or a bug was up his ass but he just lowered my impression of city employees with uniforms.

I really hate parking on the streets.  I try to avoid at all costs.

meter maids are meter maids, regardless of whether or not they have 2 X chromosomes.

Wow A JBT meter Maid

Try SFO

Total Street Nazis.  People up there DESPISE them and their fucking souped up golf carts.

To be honest, it was 10 years ago when I lived in the city, but I can't imagine that things have gotten any better since then.

If you sucked her dick I'm sure she would have let it slide.

Good thing you didn't have your dog with you. She/him/it would have shot it.

Or atleast made that cart thing burnout on it

You remember the meter maids from high school don't you?  They were the girls that were just plain f*ckin' odd.  Guys wouldn't go near them.  The meter guys were the little assholes who were the frequent victims of swirlies, wedgies and having their pants yanked down.  Now they think they're getting even.  All parking downtown ought to be free.

I see you met Joanne.  As for the rest of the 10,000 NYC meter maids, none of them have an iota of courtesy, only endless amounts of bile fed hatred and rudeness towards motorists.

being your from MN you probably heard of the "meter maid" that Randy Moss "assaulted"  seems she jumped in front of hisd car cause he mad a illegal turn and she fell over (very slowly) - now suing moss for amount in excess of 50k

I routinely put coins in random expired parking meters just to foil the meter maids and maybe save someone a parking ticket. They get pissed when they see you do it.

I got a ticket from a meter maid in Arlington a few months ago for not displaying a front license plate.

I was like, WTF, isn't that beyond your area of expertise?

Sounds to me like you were in Rochester

Lots of angry dykes in uniform in Minneapolis.

Meter maids were the kids in high school who were the hall monitors telling everyone to slow down or snitching out kids smoking in the bathrooms!!

Really? I always thought men that did that job were supposed to be called Meter Butlers.

Yup, the cranky old guy, you've probably seen him, there's a older lady who does the same thing but she's courteous most of the time.
