We need to do that sort of thing more for people in all walks of life.
Course it couldn’t hurt if at the same time we’re wearing MAGA hats or leet people know we’re Christian.
Far be it from me to suggest this, but a drop of Gorilla Glue on a coin might have an adverse effect on parking revenues.
From what I’ve seen, parking enforcement is the only part of the DC City government that is not dysfunctional... They actually accomplish their job with brutal efficiency. Lol
For three years I had an office on the corner of 13th and K Street in downtown DC. My office was on the corner and I could watch the street. There was a fat black parking enforcement woman who would walk down the sidewalk and ticket every car legally parked by the park that was catty-corner from my office, whether or not the meters had expired.
I had a similar situation in a big city that I didn't live in, several years ago before the advent of computerized parking ticket enforcement and so forth. I was walking back to my car when the F%%%ing meter enforcement @$$hole was just finishing the ticket. He managed to put it on my car before I could get to it and get it started to drive off. I grabbed it off my windshield, drove off about three blocks, tore it in half and threw it out the window. Never heard a peep from those Nazi b@$tards.
Had another situation in which I had a license plate "improperly displayed" in a city where once they find something like that, it's just easy pickings for them to put a ticket on the car every day, even though the improper display of license plate is technically a STATE offense where I live. I got two tickets, two days in a row, fixed the display issue, and never got another one. It was all I could do to keep from vandalizing one of their stop signs to get even financially, but I knew that with all the cameras around I couldn't get away with it.
Not super sympathetic to this thread.
I am not wealthy. I always tip big.
Once, while working nights, I went for a midnight meal and saw a harried young woman waiting tables all alone. I counted 17 customers. They were yelling at her, and she was running ragged trying to keep up. Some pointedly stiffed her on a tip - because her bosses left their place understaffed. When it came my time, I thanked her, and left a big tip.
On another occasion, I took someone on a dinner date at a fancy rooftop restaurant with live entertainment. We took our time, and were waited on by a very old woman. She was attentive and responsive the whole time. I suspected she did not get huge tips since she was not young and beautiful. Since we kept her from other guest tips by staying, and because she was excellent, I left a very large tip. She amazed me by running out in the hall to thank me effusively as we waited for the elevator. I was stunned. I just said, “You earned it.”
Waitresses (ooh! sexist!) put up with a lot.
ROFL!!
I get carried away in my posts and if I keep it up i will get carried away off of FR, and with good reason.
It’s a family friendly board.
I just didn’t see this as a CONSERVATIVE thread in any way, shape or form.
Give a member of all that’s wrong with big cities a hug????
No thanks
I’m simmered.
I go to another board that is relatively untamed for my really brutal comments now :)
FR is and shall remain family friendly.
That’s a GOOD thing.
I hope you show more concern about FR next time you go into a rage.
My last apology was enough. Drop it.
I-m gonna take the high ground and leave it at that. wont be reading your reply. Have a good day.
So are your profanity filled comments........
