I’m never driving to work again!!! EVER!!!

Never joke about getting a ticket.

So…I drove into work today because they were giving away some old machines and monitors. I mean, who can pass up free shit? I find a parking space, at a meter, and I’m ready to go. I’ve got my quarters lined up, and my phone set to remind me to go down and put them in.

First round, no problem. Second round, no problem. Third round, where’s my fucking truck!!???!!?

I would appear that I parked in a “2-6PM NO Stopping Zone”. There is a charter school across the street and they needed the space for the school buses. So, there I am, on the street, trying to remain calm and figure out where in this cesspool we call Boston my Jeep is.

I had just gotten off the phone with the police when the tow truck driver came back to the block for some seconds. He told me that my Jeep was down on Frontage St. in Southie. When I asked him where again, he told me to hop in. Well that was nice of him.

The whole ride he kept telling me that the tow was only going to be $15. Blah, blah, blah, city of Boston, blah, blah, blah, not for profit, blah, $15, blah, not like private tow companies.

He drops me off at the BTD and wishes me a happy holiday. I pay my $15 and I go out to my Jeep and what to my wondering eyes does appear on the windshield but a bright orange parking ticket for $75!!

Merry fucking Christmas Boston! Why don’t you fix a freakin’ pothole or tow with that little present I’m leaving under your tree?
