I started my job as a Community Service officer. It pays pretty well, considering that I basically get to be a b*****dly parking ticket writer... I also got screamed at for the first time.
"WHAT KIND OF B.S. PARKING TICKET IS THIS, 'WHEELS NOT CURBED'?!"
Hehehehe. What a dirty rotten thing to cite someone for... But we do it. It's revenue for the city, after all.
Ah well. Though I'm kind of getting tired of all the doublespeak talks I'm getting from my superiors. "We don't have quotas here," the speeches begin, "but if you don't do at least 60 tickets a month, we're going to start wondering what you do with your time."
Sounds like a quota to me... If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck... well, you know the drill. If nothing else, it's nice to get paid to walk around the beach all day.

So, er, what kind of b.s parking ticket ~IS~ that? What does "curbing your wheels" mean? Just that you're parked too far away from the curb? And try not to show too much glee when you hand over the tickets.

I'm already in trouble in Laguna Beach!

Well if you were sticking out into traffic you deserved it! I got one in San Fransisco once for not turning my wheels in toward the curb on a hill.

I'll take one just for you, NYC...
And that's MS. Meter maid to *you*
"Wheels not curbed" is what Zoomer got a ticket for. If you don't properly turn your wheels on a hill, you can be cited as being a safety hazard.
A car actually rolled down a hill just last week because its wheels weren't properly turned. Almost took out my boss's garage.

Aha! The boss's garage almost gets taken out and suddenly, there is a huge upswing in the "wheel's not curbed" ticket rate. Coincidence? I think not!
