Review of parking enforcement Washington DC 2023
The new Wash DC parking enforcement SCAM.
The new Wash DC parking enforcement SCAM. Even tho they know with their device if u paid or not, if u DON'T put receipt on dash U get a $50 ticket. Nor do they say anywhere to place the paper receipt on the dash.
"Failure to display a meter receipt has eclipsed expired meter violations & is the leading reason for getting a ticket"

"Why does it seem like people that drive big pickup trucks are in such a hurry and drive so aggressively and seem so angry?"
My guess about pickup truck drivers in general is that a LOT of them have a need for power and control or maybe even some obsessive compulsive tendencies (OCD) -- meaning they are actually the opposite of being "strong and powerful"-- they are weak and wimpy and fearful and need a big truck to try to make them feel strong.
1) " I mean some of them have a legitimate reason to have a pick up truck but I think that the majority of guys who have ginormous trucks are trying to make a political statement. I noticed a lot of trucks with the wheels sticking out which I think looks retarded and giant exhaust pipes for blowing black smoke in the face of other drivers cars which is not only inconsiderate but makes them look like assholes. … It's called Coal rolling. But that is what they want, they want to look like assholes and they want to say fuck you and fuck the environment. Also they think that they are Impressing women but really that is not true at all.
2) "Because many of them are [assholes?}. I sort of answered this in another question some time back. The other question asked if hazardous or aggressive drivers could be identified by the type of vehicle that they drive.
Pickup drivers are the Jekyll and Hyde amongst the many personalities and behaviors behind a steering wheel. When I am driving a heavy truck commercially, pickup drivers are usually my friends. They are far more likely than anyone else on the road to give me a break and yield to my signaled or implied intentions.
When I am driving my own pickup, a basic mid-sized two-wheel drive vehicle of unassuming appearance, other pickup drivers are neutral around me. They do not bother with me. In my compact crossover, however, one might think that the Incredible Hulk was behind the wheel of that jacked-up 4x4 monster truck wannabe.
There is no reason for my driving behavior to be any different in my compact car as compared to when driving my pickup. So why does it seem, to me, like there are only Incredible Hulk types driving large pickups?
I can guess that the pickup driver easily sees past me, over the top of my car. When I have a tailgater, I double my following distance, if possible, regardless of what I am driving. I do this to ensure that I can execute an emergency stop without getting rear-ended. Looking over the top of my car, Hulk may assume that the distance in front of me means that I am driving too slowly.
This triggers Hulk's learned behavior that says, when things do not suit you, you should go into a rage and punish everyone who is the perceived cause of your rage. The irony is that my increased following distance gives Hulk a place to go when traffic finally allows him to move his mega-mechanical beast around me.
What most amuses me about angry or aggressive drivers, in any vehicle, is the lack of gain for the pain that they put themselves and those around through while driving. As often as not, when I manage to get a Hulk safely in front of me, I'll see him again in a few miles. He will be waiting not far from me at the same stoplight and intersection where I am waiting. He may have regained much of his natural color but the primer is fresh and ready to set off another explosion if things do not go his way again.
Safe and calm driving to you."

Re American Latinos who Hate White Americans
Re American Latinos who
Hate White Americans
( or Latinos living in America who
Hate White Americans )
Here's the city of Shafter. Now at an ATM and a Latino girl saw me and she started swearing on her phone π± just to try to perturb me -it looked like a fake phone conversation as an excuse to use profanity- to prove something -but prove what ?
IT'S NOT the first time it's happened but now I know it's intentional so I'm trying to psychoanalyze it. It's a bad phenomenon - some Latinos intentionally exhibiting extremely rude behavior as they walk by -in one case at Newport Beach a stoned pothead Latino intentionally burped very loudly as I walked by on the beach then he laughed maniacally - very rude and crude.
It's like they're saying " I don't give a blank and I want you to know it" as opposed to polite society where at least they pretend that they do care and want to be known as good citizens.
It's really the ultimate slap in the face when they do that. You can't get more insulting than that -like saying "I'm an A- hole and I'm proud of it " . It's almost like they're trying to pick a fight even though they are being cowardly - they know that you're in such a situation as a good citizen that to get in a fight would be self-defeating NOT because you couldn't win a fist fight with the skinny chumps (or in the case of female antagonists they know you won't hit a girl) but because you'd end up getting in trouble with the law which would cause you many more problems as a good citizen than a person who could sit in jail for a year and their life would be the same -going nowhere.
So they intentionally act worse than animals - what they really want, I think - in this case its a predominantly Latino community- is they want to keep white people out. It's actually racism but they can't be overtly racist so they have to exhibit behavior that makes you want to stay away from them - to think of them as worse than animals even though you know Mexico actually has a polite culture -so they're saying "if we treat them (ie white people) like blank indirectly they WON'T want to be around us & we can have our own private Idaho here in the USA. We can't ban them but we can make them want to stay away by acting worse than animals."
Its total racism by them toward whites.
IT'S like they hate the people who open the doors πͺto welcome them in (a lot of us, including me, are kindhearted & want you to do well & have opportunities) & to keep us away from them, they will make us miserable to be around them by acting worse than animals. At least I know the rationale behind it now - it took me awhile to figure out. Shameful. π
