Missoula, MT. It had No Left Turn signs that fold open at 2 PM. I was in the intersection when they flipped, too far forward to see the sign. Cop was parked right there, ready to swoop down on me, and did.

And me leaving town for college the next day. Couldn't even fight the ticket.

Rule two: Be nice to your traffic warden. Works a treat for us, bless Pauls' cotton socks. But don't quote me on that as he is a 6'6" ex Military Policeman, who very quietly and firmly doesn't take any shit. He knows whom is whom, and will be sensible if you are being sensible (e.g. unloading stuff, getting little'uns sorted). Take the piss, however, and he's ruthless and unwielding, which given that he's spent his working life dealing with pissed squaddies is the least we can expect.
 
Point is, I suppose, is that he is part of the community, knows the community and has our respect. Needless to say his job is being transfered and all of the above goes out of the window

I pulled to the side of the street to get out of the way of an ambulance one time, then couldn't get back out into traffic right away and while I was looking back over my left shoulder a meter maid was writin' me up for parking in a red zone and I hollered at her to get the fiznuck away from me except I didn't say fiznuck and I didn't say it just the once and she said that was abuse and threatened me with a civil lawsuit and when she handed me the ticket I snatched it from her and she said OW! I GOT A PAPER CUT! I'M GOING TO SUE! and so I snarled that if I was gonna get sued for assault & battery I was gonna get my money's worth and undid my seat belt and reached for the glove box and you never saw a meter maid skedaddle so fast. Wow, spellcheck says skedaddle's spelled right.

Edit: Berkeley California, in case you wondered.

Parking tickets and the ones that write them who act like they are on some f-ing moral higher ground if you confront them in the ticket writing process. my god, it makes me feel like I need anger management therapy.

Well, it's like a double negative which certainly does not make a positive, or an imiginary number square root of -1 sort of thing. Except for the demons stoking the fire in the hottest pit of hell get more vindictive than usual. Seriously hard to deal with on a rational level.

anyway, they just beat you in the head for being a wise ass and shovel some more extra hot coals on your back.
