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.
