Look at the picture below... It is me, last night, after a comedy show in the Allentown part of Buffalo.... Following the "Doin' Time Xmas Comedy Show" I walked out to my car, covered lightly in snow. As I went to brush the snow off, I found the most happiest of holiday gifts on my windshield... a parking ticket. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! But what could this ticket be for? I was parked in a legal spot and it was after parking meter hours, my inspection is within date, my car is in check... I got a $30 ticket for "parking more than 12 inches from the curb"... are you SHITTING ME?!? Look at the picture above... LOOK AT IT!!! I drew a white arrow to highlight the area of concern. Has Buffalo become sooo desperate for ticket money that they now have cops going about with rulers, like an anal-retentive OCD high school English teacher checking margins on a paper? I didn't have a ruler so I can't tell you exactly how car away I was from the curb, but if this was an NFL game, the refs would be calling for the chains. Unreal. Comments12/23/2009 4:05pm

Just a thought. At what point does "more that 12 inches from the curb" become "double parking" (nyc term for parking in the travel lane next to a parked car)?? I say you push the envelope next time. See what they do if you are 3 ft. from the curb. Fuck it, 4 ft! I would love to see a ticket for "parked like an asshole".

Dude. the guy working was in car 642. i yelled at him outside because he ticketed the cars in front of nietzsches. for no reason. he said there was a no parking anytime sign, when there are meters. he was a real Douche.
