I had a parking ticket swiped off of my car yesterday. Parked on a permit only side of the street until 10pm on Saturdays, max $25 fine and a non-tow zone. I viewed that as my parking fee, since there was absolutely no parking anywhere near where I needed to park. No biggie.
Went to get something out of my car Saturday night, saw the ticket there as predicted. I always leave it on If I get one so the next shift meter maid doesn't give another one in the same time span. Came back in the AM, ticket no longer on my windshield.
Gotta love Philly and the folks keeping it classy taking parking tickets off of cars, nothing changes since I was little.
