f'n ahoLe! the meter maid is gonna pay
i got another fucking ticket today!!! same exact one as yesterday...
even though today, i didn't bother bobbing around the free spots, and parked at working meters since i didn't even wanna risk getting a ticket; i assumed she tagged me yesterday just because i've been parking for free for weeks.

everyone at my work just got a ticket aLso. the boss just approached her (she had written a ticket for him, even though he had 9 minutes Left on his meter) to compLain about the ticket - she said "i don't care!" and continued on. what the fuck is wrong with her!?

this has never been a probLem in my 3 years here.

arrrrrrrrrrgh!!!

1. You should file a group complaint.
Power in numbers can get things accomplished.

4. we're aLL gonna contest
it's fucking insane. they're just handing those things out Like candy now.

and my ticket makes no fucking sense:
1. says unpaid meter - that's faLse. i stiLL had 5 minutes in the meter when i got there (45 minutes when she ticketed me).

2. the ticket was based on parking in the 1 hour zone, when i was in a 2 hour zone.

hopefuLLy, i can controL myseLf if/when i see her.

13. Complain to her boss, yes, but the Judge is the one...
to concentrate on. If you all go in sober and rationally tell him or her she's illegally ticketing you this crap will stop! Good luck.

5. 9 minutes left on the meter and he was getting a ticket?
Cameras work well in court cases.

8. You should report her to the head of the transportation dept.
she should lose her job. Definitely get a photo of the BS.

10. i'm dicking around now on the boston parking site
to see if there's some basis for her giving out the tickets Like this (ie: some new parking ruLe) and i'm not finding any (or even any ruLes).

she must think she's getting a big bonus by writing so many contested tickets.
