Parking inspectors

[Turd Ferguson]

Now, before i start, i will point out i have never been fined.

but i have an uncontrollable anger towards parking inspectors. My blood boils every time i see them, especially where i live, local council makes the most in parking fines in the whole of sydney.

So after watching Today Tonights bit on parking inspectors tonight i thought id ask if anyone else has an unexplainable anger towards them. I only hate them, I have huge respect for police however.

I hear you. Years ago I was parked in a hatch back in a loading zone right outside one of our suppliers and loading the car. Along come a Parking Inspector who proceeded to stand next to me as I walked out of the business and placed a load into the back and start writing up a ticket. I went ballistic at him calling him blind, dumb and stupid asking what part of taking goods from a business and loading them into the hatchback did he not get? People were looking and giggling at him. He went flame red, tore up the ticket and walked off.

another thing, chalking tyres, why are they allowed to, i bet if i get chalk and start writing on their car or the council building they wouldnt be very happy, i have my tyres meticulously tyre shined. If you chalk it, i will go aggro, the follow you down the street cleaning every tyre you chalk. ARGHHH

I feel the same about people who think it is ok to lift my wiper blade and stick junk advertising underneath. I have in the past rang the business concerned and threatened legal action for touching my car against my permission. I have received many apologies and sorry people on the other end once I spell out that my car is precious to me and I don't want random strangers touching my car.

It should be banned as you are touching others property without permission. Pedantic? Hell yes. I don't spend hours buffing my car to have some poor white trash who can't hold down a real job touching my car, because they would have nil respect for my paintwork. /end rant.

I got a parking fine a few weeks back in Melbourne. The ******** inspector couldnt even speak english. Took a photo of my ticket which shows purchase time and expiry time, sent it with the ticket that displays the time of offence.

Waiting to hear back with an apology and I willl be invoicing the council for time I have lost income for fixing their ****up. It is no wonder these arseholes are hated.

Good luck getting an apology

I got an infringement notice when my car was safely parked in a secure car park some 25 kilometres away for the whole day

When I finally got a response they just said they 'were pleased to advise that in this case you are not required to pay the fine'

No Sorry for wasting your time or mistaking your car, etc
