Are they worst people in the world, or not?

  Ok, they've got a job to do, I know. Some people are real pricks and 
certainly deserve a ticket (or being clamped) for where they're parked, 
that's for sure. But, what about the 'Little Hitler' wardens? Are they Scum 
or what? And I mean Scum too.

    Yes, yes, I got a ticket - first one ever in 20 years of driving. It 
wouldn't be so bad if I was on double yellows, or parked/blocked somewhere I 
shouldn't have, BUT, take a look at the attached, that car isn't mine, but 
that's *exactly* how I parked on the 24th August. It's a TWO CAR BAY. The 
reason I got a ticket? My rear wheels were over the back line just like that 
car. I took that picture this morning, but wait, it's Sunday, I doubt if he 
got a ticket...

   You know, I'm raging with anger about it, really. That image is being 
printed out and sent with a letter to the local council. I'll first get them 
to admit that it's a two car bay, and then I'll argue why the bay isn't big 
enough for two cars*, and if they say it is, (which they can't), I'll ask 

they insist I pay it, I'll pay it, but it will cost THEM 5 times as much, 
and then I'll have MY satisfaction!  >:o(

    This is why the world is angry.

   *Two years ago, I watched some council workers out of that very window 
measuring that very bay and all of the bays in that road - but then nothing 
happened, no change whatsoever. Why did they do that?
