I was in NOTL recently and to park on the road you now need to enter in your licence plate number into the machine, which is printed on the ticket.
Bastards! The end of giving away your still-good parking pass are numbered.
I give it a way all the time... Pay it forward. I have had others give it to me. Dont need the $3.00, the gesture is better and getting it returned is even better!
If this rant isn't a joke then the o.p. is a doucebag. wtf do you need it for if your leaving. you could be the ONLY one who wouldn't just drive away. Its almost embarrassing you're a terbie. shit.
reread your first paragraph keeping in mind you probably look in the mirror everyday...it probably happens more than you care to remember
As someone who has been on both sides of this situation, the standard for me has been the person leaving just gives it for free. But asking for a free handout is lame.
Y'all are raining on SkyRider's parade, but if you look carefully, he's a force for good. Where else have so many posters who disagree vehemently on all things social and political agreed so emphatically about something? Thank you SkyRider. Never stop being you. You jerk.
So you're upset because he put a zero value on your ticket when you thought it was worth more. So what did you do? Did you i)approach the next person? ii) use up the time that you had already bought? iii) give your ticket away? iv) leave before your ticket expired?
Don't you hate it when people do what they want and it's not what you want.
Consider this. Maybe your ticket had a half hour left and he wanted to buy a full hour. If he buys your ticket he still has to return in half an hour to pay again. Perhaps this guy decided it would be worth coming back in half an hour if the first half hour was free, but not if he had to pay.
What kind of cheap ass who's leaving his spot anyway, wouldn't just give his to ticket to someone else to be good Samaritan? Answer is a jackass like skyrider
Same thing happened to me today....some idiot tried to sell me this parking ticket for $5 & only had less than 1 hour left on the ticket.
I park at this lot frequently dt & asked him when it expires and he tells me he paid the max and that he was leaving. I said sure i'd be interested but need to see the ticket 1st.
He shows me and i politely decline and point out that its less 1 hour left on the ticket . He says oh well i tried. What a Douche!
Anyhow I always pay it forward and give my unused parking tickets away as i know 1st hand how good it feels when someone else returns the favour.
+1. Except I have paid a couple of guys for tickets, $5 for a $12 ticket and $10 for a $25 ticket. Their request for money was a surprise, think if they wanted 50% I would have walked.
Have been offered several tickets that did not have enough time on them, like 1 hour when I need 2 hours. Always appreciated, but not sure if I should just take the ticket and thank them or politely decline.
My appointment was cancelled which is why I had a lot of unexpired time on the meter. Anyway, I decided to use the time to do some shopping in the area (downtown Toronto).
BTW: Just curious. Do you guys also give away a Leaf hockey ticket if your date cancelled at the last minute? Or, do you try to sell the ticket?
