So do these people hide in the bushes, wait for you to park the smallest amount outside of the parking zone, wait for you to get out of your car (even if only for two minutes), then jump out and slam a ticket on your windshield?
I mean, I understand if your parking is actually horrible and blatantly out of a stall, but I was half in the zone, and half out! And by the way, this happened on a side street where there is parking except for 10 meters from intersecting roads. I was only 2 feet into this restricted area!
Oh, and to make matters more ridiculous, I was inside buying a parking pass!
I would like to meet the person who originally decided to charge for parking, and also the one who decided to employ people to walk around side streets to seek out people in violation of parking zones by 2 feet and give them expensive tickets.
I'm pretty sure people like to give us tickets because they find it amusing to watch our faces when we return to our cars only to be met with a glowing, evil, yellow piece of paper.

Ah, the slow nickel-and-diming to death of city residents in order to stave off property tax increases. At least, one hopes the politicians have a semblance of a good reason and aren't just doing this because they like to torture the rest of us!
