NEW !@#$@ YORK

i received 2 parking tickets on my last trip to NY (on the same day) but this time was different than all the other parking tickets i've gotten in the past. WE WERE IN THE CAR! the first time we were waiting in a bus stop for devorah who was in a store. we were all the way at the begining (or end) of the bus stop and the busses had no problem getting to their proper destination, a cop comes by and starts writing a ticket for standing in the bus stop. i told her quite eloquently and unabashadly what i though of her and the state of new york. she told me she didnt really care what i thought. chanalana was worried i was going to jail. she told me i was blocking the busses and i told her they didnt have any problem until she showed up and is standing in their way and if she would get out of their way no one would hve a problem. that ticket put me in a very foul mood. but it only got added to when later that day in brooklyn after a very nice ice skating outing with cheryl and some kids we went to bagel hole for some sustenance. i doulble parked in a row of cars that were all double parked but devo and the kids were all in the car, so it is nbot called double parking, anywhoo. you know the end of the story. the guiy behind devo jumped out of his car and started yelling at the cop as to why he would give us a tickjet because THEY WERE IN THE CAR. he said he didnt really care, and he already started writing the ticket so there is nothing he can do. i think thats a whole lotta hogwash but that just madee my bagels from 89 cents to about 15 dollars each. in short ani sone et new york meod meod!!
oh yeah we had a great time with MIL and family and a very nice loooong drive back and forth

    Sorry to hear about your tickets, I collected a lot of tickets during my years in NY...they really like to hand them out...

  • I fought a ticket today in court. But, alas, they had a picture of the big NO PARKING SIGN right behind my car. Rats.... So I had to pay 200 NIS instead of 250.

    But I had a fun day with Sar, so it's worth it.
