Bad Ithaca Vigilance
Is it me or is Ithaca insane with parking tickets? It's such a nowhere little 12 square mile place, and yet the meter readers patrol with the vigor of nickel and dime nazis. Do you hear me meter readers? You are nickel and dime nazis! Today, I parked by a meter and actually fed it 3 quarters (I rarely bother with this unpleasant task). And then I cut short my coffee date with a lovely lady in order to get back to the car and feed more coins, and BEHOLD! a minute or two after it expired, POOF! A ticket. Where did it come from? There was no meter reader in sight, and yet the time stamp on the ticket was not one minute old. Stealth nazi meter readers. Evil stealth nazi meter readers. Be gone! Bother me no more!

I dunno about the Nazi part. I went in to pay a ticket recently, and was told that since it was my first parking ticket, they'd let it go. I thought I was being punk'd, but no. huh. Score one for Ogreville!
That is a nice policy, I have to admit. But I've never retracted a bit of nasty complaining before. I wonder - does it hurt?
