Philadelphia Parking Perils

Is everyone behind the wheel of a car in philadelphia retarded???  So here's my day....

Roll over at 5:45ish AM and realize my car is parked illegally from last night's fooozeball table drop off (see future post, I know past event in the future???), so I go out and move it forward into a legal spot, only to find out my obviously illegal immigrant of a landlord has taken off to India for the month, and has double parked his international sex slave trade van in front of my house.  I can deal with that though, i just move in front of it, since there are spots a plenty in front of me, however I'm steamed by his a-hole move, and can't fall asleep till 7am.

9:15 rolls around and I'm once again awoken from my slumber by the cries of pain from a certain husky roommate with a lower abdomen ailment.  He needs a ride to the hospital, and I am more than glad to give him one, but had to drive around the lot 5 times to find a spot (my stupidity I'll own up to that).  He gets sent home after his kidney stone passes, and we park down the block at 11:15 am.  Now here's where my day really begins....

Around noon he moves his car to prepare for class, and I take his "park all day for free" spot.  When I go to my car I have a ticket, for get this....over the 2 hour limit.  When did 45 mins become the new 2 hours, oh it says I've been parked there from 8:40 until 12:10...Could have sworn I was in the hospital for some of that time, but maybe I'm crazy.  So anyway I go to move the car, and as I let a car pass me instead of sitting behind as I slowly try to fit a large purple minivan into a much to small spot, some a-hole in a red sportscar slides in face first and steals my spot (does this a-hole really need to take a spot from me, I mean he clearly already has my dignity with his flashy car compared to my aunt's old van), so I go to another spot on my block and park.

Go to my car for class, and I have another ticket from 12:10-2:25, but once again car was clearly not parked. So I go to class pissed as fawk, and listen to some old washed up industry woman ramble about herself for a half hour.  If you've never seen a 55 year old women toot her own horn, its as bad as it sounds.  So now I come back from class, to park on the park for free street, and there's a spot, and guess who its in front....Johnny Flash and his faggot ass sports car, so in an attempt to fit my van into the large spot in front of it I make sure i fiercly back into his car 3 times leaving a nice sized dent.  Now that's kharma for you, huh Earl?

Either way, I have 56 dollars of fines to pay to Philadelphia, or a court date on the Friday of Memorial day weekend (court date it is), and I'm royally cheesed right now.  Somebody get me some vodka.
