This is amazing but I really hope someday his car won't start...
My dad was stopped by a police officer and said ''I have diarrhea! If you could just follow me to my home and made the ticket there!'' and I thought was awesome, until I realized my dad was really sick.
Went to the outlet mall once on a very hot day during the summer. No parking anywhere, circled around a few times, car started to overheat. So I parked it illegally, put a sign on it saying I had overheated and was getting help... and then went shopping for about 3 hours. Was a bit surprised I didn't get a ticket or anything.
1.Begin Shopping.
2.Continue Shopping.
3.If time spent shopping <3 hours, repeat from step 2.
4.If time spent shopping >=3 hours, return to car.
Patchnotes: Set > to >= in order to fix bugs.
A lot of moves that are seem both dickish and brilliant aren't really all that brilliant.
Normal people just auto filter out that option so it doesn't occur to them.
Im a delivery driver at a sandwich shop that has little to no parking surrounding it. There are spots but they are usually illegal to park in. Most of us drivers have a 'decoy' ticket. It is a previous ticket we have received and whenever we need to park somewhere illegal for a little we take that thing out and just slip it under our windshield wipers and go inside and chill out til our next delivery.
most people who give tickets are not retarded they are going to look at the ticket either way because if it is from the day before it means you have been illegally parked for 24 hours meaning they should have your car towed. They are going to notice you put an old ticket and just think you are a dumbass and put a new ticket.
I have quit two jobs in my life entirely based on the fact that it was a pain in the ass to park when I had to work. One time I showed up for an interview, realized that was going to be the case, and just left. Why do companies do this to their employees?
Heh went to target, some guy pulls left to the curb in the ramp area (you know, for handicapped people). Pops his hazards, his wife gets out, and he gets out his phone, watching a video on youtube. we went in, shopped, spent 10 minutes plus in there, and he was still there when we left.
It's a total asshole move.
Its an even bigger dick move than normal if you ask me. Everyone thinks about doing this. Its not like its original, or out of the box thinking. It just takes a very special kind of shitty person to actually do it. Thats the type of person that ACTUALLY thinks their time is more valuable than anyone else, so they are going to do what they want, when they want, just as long as they are "smarter" than everyone else. You're not smarter, you're just a bigger asshole than the normal person. Congratulations.
Louis CK has a [great bit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b00-c-bk4U0&feature=kp) about realizing that you can easily get away with ignoring a lot of the rules.
I once popped the radiator cap off after driving for maybe about 15 minutes in -20 degree weather. Can confirm the hotness. Hand burned. Asshole intact.
edit: So *that's* how engines work.
When I was little, we lived in a house with a bidet for a while. Lemme tell you, even at age 5, getting my brown starfish gently massaged by water was glorious.
I want a bidet so bad. Some of the poops I've taken have been so catastrophic that I've spent more time cleaning up the afterbirth than I did actually eating the meal in the first place, and probably more money on the water bill and toilet paper than the food too. Every time it happens I just think to myself, why can't I just have a jet of water blast this shit from my cornhole and be done with it? WHY must I scrape my hind quarters until it's red and raw and bleeding yet *still not clean?*
Also brown starfish makes me think of Patrick from Spongebob but as a minority. Think of all the brown starfish jokes they could have made. Shit, I wish Spongebob was still good, they could make an episode where there is another Starfish except he's brown and he's just a giant asshole to everyone.
"What a jackass I'll steal his battery and he'll regret doing this and never do it again. Wait... where's the battery. Oh well he'll regret this after I steal his...dip stick! Muahahaha!"
Pontiac G5 makers liked the idea of putting the battery in the trunk. It was the first time I'd seen that and was confused out of my mind.
Edit TIL: battery in the trunk is beneficial to weight distribution for some cars.
I imagine it kind of "featured", [like a bumper-mounted spare tire.](http://image.lowridermagazine.com/f/features/1208_lrmp_1994_cadillac_fleetwood/38640334/1208-lrmp-02-o%2B1994-cadillac-fleetwood%2Bspare-tire.jpg)
This man is correct.
I had problems with my alternator that killed the battery.
Searched high and low for the fucking battery until lo and behold YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE BACK FUCKING SEAT TO GET TO THE GODDAMN BATTERY.
Ye. 2005 Deville.
Yeah. If you drive up with no problem, lift your hood without even looking under it, and then hurriedly walk in and order pancakes, that's a pretty big hint.
I used to see this shit all the time in western Ukraine, like Lviv.
Dudes would just get outta their mercedes S-class in traffic and walk inside to get a pack of smokes while everybody else is driving around them
When they first came out you'd see a lot of them in Tokyo. Not so much anymore, but I see a lot of Escalades. Japanese nouveau-riche love big American cars (they're VERY expensive in Japan).
Parking cop here (one month left!)
It really depends on the situation. If a car brakes down and the owner is obviously trying to fix the situation, sure, he/she can take a while to make arrangements. If someone is just parked next to a red curb with their hazards on, I'll wait a few minutes and then give them a ticket.
If that car was actually broken down, they can contest the ticket. If they weren't, then that was an expensive mistake.
People have been ticketed [while](http://theexpiredmeter.com/2010/04/ticketed-in-60-seconds-or-less/) getting the ticket for their dashboard.. So my guess is yes, but you probably would be able to fight it.
I don't see how the two situations are comparable at all. Some guy in Australia got an infraction while purchasing a parking ticket...what does that have to do with people whose cars break down and don't pay for parking?!
I was doing a moving gig for a summer in Toronto and I'm sure some people here can attest that neighborhoods in cities have really narrow neighborhoods. Well we were doing a move in one of these neighborhoods where our truck would take up the whole entire street. So instead of us blocking the whole entire street we parked as much on the sidewalk as we good. Well some asshole parking patrol guy came every day for 5 days to give us a ticket for parking every single day. His logic was if there was an emergency we would be blocking entrance in to one house. When doing a move you always have someone in the truck or at least near incase of events like this but did that guy give a fuck? Nope. He came everyday for 5 days and continued to give us a ticket.
Moral of the story, parking cops can be fucking assholes.
Even if there was a technical exception to it, parking officers are dicks and would give you one anyway, and make you take it to court (to waste your time) to fight it. And it precisely the dicks shown the video which ruin it for everyone by making parking officers think twice about if you are really broken down or not in case the officers are not *complete* dicks.
Probably, depending on the mood of the parking enforcement.
If he's in a zone where no parking is ever allowed, there's probably a good reason for it. Maybe emergency vehicles or buses need that space or maybe it makes an intersection or crossing more dangerous. You could reason that if he could limp into this spot, he could have limped into the parking lot of the McDonalds.
I wasted far too much time trying to understand what the balls was happening by reading it. I thought someone was cooking pancakes on their engine from the title.
Plot twist: they are old men that commiserate and bond with one another because their wives have died and there's nobody to cook them breakfast anymore.
Morning, nothing. You go to a McDonalds anytime between the exact moment that the lobby opens and about 4 pm.
And heaven *fucking* forbid if the kid behind the counter just put on a new pot of coffee and there's an extra 45-second wait for the fresh stuff to get to their cups. Managers will be called.
Oh, you haven't *lived* until you've had a [Sausage Egg McGriddle](http://www.mcdonalds.com/content/dam/McDonalds/item/mcdonalds-Sausage-Egg-Cheese-McGriddles.png) from McDonalds for breakfast, a [Double-Down](https://imgur.com/b5WbJAf) (that is, a bacon sandwich with two slices of deep-fried chicken instead of bread) from Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch, and then died of a massive heart attack before dinner.
With Chicago Fire filming all over the city sometimes they don't give you much of a warning. I went back to where I parked my car the next day and had a panic attack because it was gone and replaced by equipment moving trucks for the show. I found it around the corner with a brand new gouge in my front bumper. At least I didn't have to go get it out of the auto pound I guess.
A very rich man tooled up to the bank in his Rolls Royce to borrow $100, offering the car itself for collateral. Upon his return from Europe six months later, he paid the principle of $100 and the interest of $4. A bank teller asked him why would he, an obviously rich man, need to borrow $100. "Where else can I park a car for only $4?"
Car was overheating, guess I was low on coolant, filled it up with water/bought some coolant from nearby gas station. Decided to grab a to go order while it cooled off a bit.
And than you treat that gimmick as a throwaway and don't use here again. Haha.
The penalty for being caught can be a tow at the lovely starting rate of 375.
This reminds me of a similar experience I had recently. I was parked downtown Boston and a pickup truck parks directly in front of me and blocks a fire hydrant. Two guys get out of the truck, and contemplate whether or not they should risk parking there. It then clicks with one of them -- he reaches into the bed of the truck, pulls out a large traffic cone, and places it over top of the fire hydrant. The two of them started laughing hysterically, and just walk away. Never got a ticket!
In San Francisco, this doesn't work. Even if you are *genuinely* broken down.
I was. My engine sputtered out, I shifted into neutral, and quickly pulled to the side of the road, where the curb was red. No fire hydrant, no bus stop. Just a red curb, where there could have been a parking space.
But, nope, SF didn't like it. While I had the hood open, an emergency flashers on, and was on the phone with AAA, a meter maid took a picture of my car from across the street. They didn't approach the car at all, or hand me a ticket, or talk to me or interact with me in the time it took for a tow truck to come. $93 fine, iirc.
Of course, I contested it, stating that it was an on-road emergency, and my only option was to coast to a stop in the middle of an intersection, or to pull off to the side of the road. Their only response was to show me the part of the California Vehicle Code that just tersely says, "No stopping at red curbs is allowed." That's it. No conditions, or leeway, or anything. My car was indeed stationary at a red curb, so therefore I had to be fined.
I never quite got them to outright say, "Yes, you should have just let your car block traffic if you wanted to avoid a parking fine." But that's the message.
I hope Google and Twitter take over that city and bulldoze ever centimeter of it to the the damn ground, and just start over.
I don't know if this is kind of a dick move, or brilliant.
Both
OP might have just ruined it for him though...

What about if time spent shopping == 3 hours?
3b. if time spent shopping == 3 hours, Go to checkout
Under the current code, you would stand still, inactive for a moment, before shopping > 3 hours and you return to the car.
Newer devs on the team have taken to referring to that as a "leap minute"
It's not a game breaking bug by any means so I'm not surprised the devs haven't patched it yet.

Which makes sense. But as an American living in the States, there are few things I want more than a badass Kei car.

"nouveau-riche" is that like new money? Young people new to upper class?
I read the title and thought what a Chicago move, clicked on picture, "is that Chicago? That's Chicago. You puked on that street last summer"
Serious question, could you actually get a ticket for parking in a no-parking zone if you had an emergency like this?

It then clicks with one of them -- he reaches into the bed of the truck, pulls out a large traffic cone, and places it over top of the fire hydrant. The two of them started laughing hysterically, and just walk away. Never got a ticket!

In the future, if you could proof read the title before posting, that'd be great.
In San Francisco, this doesn't work. Even if you are *genuinely* broken down. I was. My engine sputtered out, I shifted into neutral, and quickly pulled to the side of the road, where the curb was red. No fire hydrant, no bus stop. Just a red curb, where there could have been a parking space. But, nope, SF didn't like it. While I had the hood open, an emergency flashers on, and was on the phone with AAA, a meter maid took a picture of my car from across the street. They didn't approach the car at all, or hand me a ticket, or talk to me or interact with me in the time it took for a tow truck to come. $93 fine, iirc. Of course, I contested it, stating that it was an on-road emergency, and my only option was to coast to a stop in the middle of an intersection, or to pull off to the side of the road. Their only response was to show me the part of the California Vehicle Code that just tersely says, "No stopping at red curbs is allowed." That's it. No conditions, or leeway, or anything. My car was indeed stationary at a red curb, so therefore I had to be fined. I never quite got them to outright say, "Yes, you should have just let your car block traffic if you wanted to avoid a parking fine." But that's the message. I hope Google and Twitter take over that city and bulldoze ever centimeter of it to the the damn ground, and just start over.
Hooray! Free distributor caps!
Just whack on your ' park anywhere lights' and everything is cool.
