      The illegal parker is in a bind
      He parks in the first place he did find
      Arg shows with his truck
      The parker says, "Oh, ..."
      He now walks to the impound lot to get fined.
      This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."

      I'm now using my Deviant Art page to post my humor.

          Plus, just because you HAVE the placard, doesn't mean you must use it every time you drive... Use the thing when you need to, and don't when you don't. However, don't expect the nosy parkers to stop asking Why You Have It, OMG, Poor YOU!
          My nephew has a prosthetic leg, and he gets this. He doesn't park in the handicap spaces unless he has to use his wheelchair. Once he was running errands when his leg was undergoing some kind of adjustment and he was using his wheelchair, and someone cut him off at the local post office to park in the last handicap space and didn't have a permit. He parked elsewhere and wheeled over to point this out. The woman he spoke to said,"Oh, she's just buying stamps; she'll be right out." He pointed out that the handicap spaces weren't like those that are labeled "15 minute parking" like in front of the local UPS store, and the woman kept saying, "She'll be right out!" He said he timed it, and by the time he got to the post office door almost 15 minutes had passed, and the aforementioned "she" still hadn't appeared.

          (He also says that since he got his prosthetic leg several years ago he's heard himself say things he thought he'd never say, like when he told his toddler son to "come back with my foot!" He also had to ask his wife, "Have you seen my foot?")

            Well, the cold hasn't slowed them down at all.

            Good jerb, I have no idea what those dates were originally, let alone what you tried to change them too. Oh, and protip: Red permits went out last month. November's are Orange.... you lose.

            One picture is worth 1,000 Picard facepalms, and I'm not even going to label which is the genuine article for that lot vs. our attempted fake that does a disservice to the word "attempted".

              Well looks like it is a not uncommon thing.

                  It looks like Pink Pass Person has tried to change it from 11/12/17 to 11/29/17?

                  Mind you,I would have epically failed as the first time I looked at it I thought-they've altered it to 1/12/17 to give them a couple of extra weeks till the 1st December

                      I've been guilty of going on auto-pilot before and moving in on a car when the permit isn't where you expect it, but, I usually stop when, well, I get up to it and see it..... sheesh.

                                “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
                                One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                                The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers
