At the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living. The bartender was nearly crushed to death.

Quoth mathnerd View PostIt's those of us who've called the tow trucks on our own who might tip them. I tried to tip the driver who towed me off the side of I-10 in downtown Phoenix during rush hour traffic. He went way above and beyond his job for me (hailed a taxi that was big enough for me, my kids AND my dogs), and in general was really awesome. He said he wasn't allowed to take tips, but I did try.
The limits Arga is talking about are the ones set by the city for "Parkign where you shouldn't be" tows; otherwise companies/businesses could set a "No Parking 10000$ fine for parking" and other crazyness like that. And those ones aren't likely to tip regardless.

Is it wrong that while reading these permit stories, I can't help but wonder how hard it'd be for these people (who are already putting in the effort to mess with the permits) to scan it onto their computer, load it onto photoshop, trace the template, and fill it out as appropriate?
And then all they'd need to do is change some information and find out what color stock to print it on each time they change.
(Note: -I- wouldn't do that, but come on. The repeat offenders should at least put some effort into it!)

But it would take me 30 minutes to an hour to do that good of a job.
None of the fakes talked about seem to have more than 5 minutes of effort put into making them, felt tip markers, B/W copies, paper instead of card stock. These people are dumb, Dumb, DUMB.
They all are looking for a quickie answer and they probably think they are smarter than the people driving the tow trucks and never think the bad stuff can happen to them no matter how many times it already had in the past.

Arg. For at least 24 hours a blue pickup has been parked in our parking lot. But wait! It has a big advertisement for a quilting estate sale in the window. Now for the part which makes me very mad. It's parked in a handicapped space. I believe it does have the proper tags. Still, we only have four handicapped spaces on our side of the lot, and this selfish idiot took one which has the extra space for a wheelchair to unload. Manager says if it's still there MONDAY she'll go through property management to get it towed.
As far as I'm concerned, it should go now, it's clearly not a customer and it's a super small, always full lot.Replace anger management with stupidity management.

Not knowing where you live or the rules of your property, there's nothing I can add except that it's ultimately the manager's call.
The Borough around here exempts HDCP violators from the 15 minute wait rule for that reason.- They say nothing good happens at 2AM, they're right, I happen at 2AM.

Quoth earl colby pottinger View PostI lay odds that with the standard equipment at home that I have (scanner/inkjet printer, computer with MS-Paint) that I could do scan at 1200 DPI, edit the numbers by moving around what is all ready there and produce a fake that you have to take out of the car and handle directly before you would know it is not the real thing.
But it would take me 30 minutes to an hour to do that good of a job.
