Just man up and pay it with no drama like a civil human being. You parked illegally and she was doing her job  This. Meter had 10minutes you parked for 15. Failing to see the problem here. This. You committed a parking violation. Man up and pay the 22 bucks. Just don't go to Taco Bell one night. |

Quoted:
none of the above. Large ziploc bag with mixture of all of the above change totalling the amount of yuor ticket. That way somebody has to dump it out and not only count but sort it as well. 
ETA Beat by seconds. And they'll come up short and issue you another ticket. Two can play that game. |

Quoted: I dislike when people fail to do their job correctly. I also dislike when people do their job, but act like unprofessional assholes. Maybe I'm the minority.  Funny... I dislike it when people violate a law, ordinance, or rule and then act like somehow they have been wronged when they receive the corresponding punishment. Maybe I'm in the minority.

You failed to do YOURS correctly by ensuring you had remitted the proper amount into the meter, and/or were back out in time. if you're that pissed about her demeanor then make an ACTUAL Complaint with the agency..but dont try to play BS games with the clerk in the office who had jack shit to do with issuing the summons, or Parking the car. I've gotten meter tickets in my POV in my Town while I was IN Court because i underestimated the time id need...i walked back into the court and paid the summons..... MY fault for not checking my time and putting an extra quarter in the meter |

Quoted: Why was I at that particular PO? It's not a difficult question and the answer is right there in the OP. I never denied that I screwed up, by the way. I just happen to dislike when people's incompetence places me into situations that cost me money while having to deal with retarded meter maids (yes, because I failed to estimate the correct amount of time). Perhaps reading the OP a little more closely would help...Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I dislike when people fail to do their job correctly.

Perhaps reading the OP a little more closely would help...Nope, I read and comprehended it just fine. The postal worker didn't do his job to your satisfaction, and the meter maid had a bad attitude... so you think it appropriate and/or amusing to consider paying in such a way as to make life more difficult for a third public employee who had (as pointed out above) exactly SQUAT to do with either of those other employees or situations. Why you were at the PO is irrelevant in terms of the violation and fine, the salient point is that you stayed parked longer than the time you had on the meter (as you freely admit). What exactly did I miss from the OP, again?  (1) Pay the fine like any normal person who violated the time limit should/would, (2) file a complaint about the postal worker, and (3) file a complaint about the meter maid -- entirely appropriate responses in all three situations IMO, and far more logical than what you proposed above. |

Can't argue with this statement. You were slow so you get to pay for it. You should be an adult about it as well. |

Quoted: *Sigh* Try again. The postal worker didn't do his job, period, full stop. When you lie about doing your job, then add insult to injury by not even notifying me about where you've dumped my package which then costs me money, then yes, I'm going to get irritated...especially when you're a government employee...Quoted: Quoted: (SNIP) The postal worker didn't do his job to your satisfaction *Sigh* Try again.

Quoted:
PA and their damn parking meters, that's one thing I hate about working up there. Yes. Honestly, my disgust with PA is likely causing me to be more irritated than I should. I can't wait to leave this cesspool---maybe the western half of the state is better, but the eastern half is a magnificent piece of shit.

You don't understand, it has to be someone else's fault and he wants to be an asshole to somebody that had nothing to do with his failing to learn how to tell time in Kindergarten. |

In either case, I'll pay via CC online. As much as I'd like to get my money's worth, my time is better spent elsewhere. Quoted:

Quoted:
Pay in a combination of change. Quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies. Your exact amount should be $.10 off. When they call you on it, pull a dime out of your pocket, put it on the counter, and ask for your receipt  I've done that. I'll also have exact change, and have an extra few each of the small change in my pocket just in case. |

I fail to see how the "figure out how much time you will need" system works and it seems like a fucking racket to me. But then again the denizens of GD probably have future predicting devices on the end of their 14" schlongs so they never have to worry about running out the meter while parking their Mclaren F1 while waiting on their supermodel GF, so all other peons should "man up" and just "pay the ticket"
