I never heard about that parking ticket story. Now I want to know what the other five reasons were.

Congrats on your victory over The Man, Ames. You enjoy that free Nestle Crunch product!

hm. good question. anyone else remember what the other reasons were?

I can remember two of them:
1.) I don't feel I should have to pay a fine because your meters are broken. If you can hire someone to visit each metered space and write tickets to offenders, why can't you hire someone to visit each meter and fix the broken ones?
2.) I put 5 quarters in the meter before realizing that it was broken and you bastards are going to take that money regardless.

oh! remembered another one:
3.) This is actually my mom's car, and when I fail to pay this ticket she will be the one to receive notices and threats and eventually have to pay the ticket to remove the tarnish from her good auto record. So you will not be teaching ME a lesson anyway.

OK, QOTD:

Since Ames can't remember all of her reasons, make up the remaining two.

My answers:
It's ridiculous to charge a quarter for 15 minutes in the first place, and then place an arbitrary 2 (or 4) hour limit on how long you can stay there.

and

Parking tickets are given with no consistency. Therefore, sometimes you can stay in the spot hours longer than your metered time, and sometimes you get a ticket for staying even 5 minutes too long. Since there is no consistency in the follow-through of giving out the tickets, I shouldn't have to be consistent in paying them.
