My car\'s arm was bended a week ago. After street cleaning, dropping down the curb broke it. My right back wheel remain on the curb, occupying 10% of the side-walk.
I was ticketed for $108 and hour later, while looking for a shop. First estimate $300 part and $400 labor. Second estimate $200 labor with my part, but doing it a week later. Third estimate $240 mobile service the next day, but never showed, My brother will bring me tools to work on it today.
While waiting, there is a meter maid across the street. Good, a chance to vent my frustration on her.
I: Why am I being ticketed for being in an accident.
S: I don\'t know. It\'s not my area here. I am just on-break.
I: Now tell me your opinion why I should be ticketed.
S: May I see the ticket
I: Yes, here
S: Someone complained of blocking the side-walk
I: Who? What? Accident blocking 10% of the side-walk.
Homeless camp block whole side-walk all the time.
S: I don\'t know. Nothing I can do or tell you.
I: I just want your opinion on it.
S: I don\'t know. You can contest it.
I: OK, give me ID of person who complained.
S: I don\'t know. You have to contest it.
I: I should have the right to confront my accuser.
If blocking 10% of the side-walk is so important,
we should discuss it in court.
S: She closed her window. (ruined her break)
An hour later. Another meter maid ticketing other side of street.
I repeat the same frustration on her.
