This is how ballas do it.

[euphoricism]

So my apartment complex calls my parents and says I owe my apartment complex for some bullshit charge. This pisses me off, what am I, six? Call me, assholes, I'll deal with it.

So after I get a pissed off call from my parents I drive over to the main office to find out what the charge is.

Its $12.49. Are you fucking kidding me? They say if its not paid today, they'll send it to "evictions" and charge me $250. Are you fucking kidding me?

Bonus points: They won't take cash, and I don't carry checks. I'd have to get a money order and bring it back by 5 when they close -- but I'm in class until 5, so that won't work either. AND my bank charges me $5 for a money order. What the fuck is that shit? Christ, the world is entirely made up of nickel and diming douchebags all of a sudden.

Anyway, I storm out of there pissed as hell, get in my car. Then I hop back out, walk back to the main office and look at the desk jockey.

"You. Yeah, you. I'll give you $20 to write a check in my name for $12.49. What do you make, $8 an hour?"

She looks down at the floor - says, "less"

I just kinda laugh and throw a 20 at her and she writes the check in my name and throws it in my folder.

Bonus number 2: Campus bus was driving by JUST as I exited the main office, I flagged it down and hopped on. Didn't have to drive, didn't have to pay $5 to park.

I SAVED money overall.

[bigred]

Dropping the 20 on the floor like sonny in godfather would be more baller. Still funny.

[a500lbgorilla]

thats just disrespectful

[lolzzz_321]

I think I'm like writing rent checks for 3 of my friends today, I'm gonna start charging juice.

semi-related story.

our parking services at school were known dicks, and would sit and wait several minutes for a meter to run out so they could write a ticket. So im coming out of class one day, knowing im cutting it close, and sure enough one of the parking nazis was counting it down. As im walking up, i see the screen on the parking meter go red, and douche bag starts writing his ticket knowing that i am like 50 feet away. After giving him a verbal lashing, i take my ticket and go get $20 worth of pennies at the bank. I unwrap all the sleeves and take a bag full of pennies and slam it on the desk of that parking services office. The lady says that i cant pay like that, and that i need to either write a check or give here paper money. I say Fuck you as i turn around the sign on her desk that says cash or check and walk out.

Balla?

[givememyleg]

Man you were a jerk to that lady.

[thizzSantaCruz]

Parking people are epitome of trash in society. Some might be OK people but not once have I encountered one with half a heart. The street my apartment is located on is a meter parking street as it is right on the beach. One time I pulled up and started unloading grocerys and running them from my trunk up a flight of stairs to my apartment. I run back out to grab a flat of water bottles and sure enough I am getting a ticket. This lady would not budge in her decision to fine me. I was being very respectful at first but after a while I started getting pissed and it did not end nicely.

Another time I come back from santa barbara completely worn out from 3 days of non-stop drinking. I get home at 3am and just leave my car outside infront of my apartment. I sleep past 10am when I have to move my car. I am expecting 1 ticket....I walk outside and find a ticket for expired meter, a ticket for being more than 18 inches from the curb, a ticket for parking infront of the front limit line even though when I parked a car was halfway in my spot. I also got a ticket for having expired tags....wtf is wrong with people. 1 would be enough.

I wonder do these people get paid on commision. If they did it would sorta make sense.

[bigspenda73]

I don't think you can reject coinage for paper money. It's the exact same thing as viewed by the gov't.

[Trikflow77]

If you did that to me, I'd just "lose" the pennies and say you never paid. No receipt, no proof.

[boost]

its not the parking people. Its your city or township or whatever. Where I grew up it was never really a big deal, but then our downtown sorta hit a boom, lots of new condos and shops, first theatre in the area with stadium seating and stuff. Then the township extended the meters from 6pm-9pm, and they obv gave the meter people extra incentive, or higher quotas for writing tickets. Its just thier job, they arent the asshole, its the people who set the framework.

security cameras, FTW!!!1!11!

For a balanced view, I just have to say that the parking inspectors in the UK are total assholes too.

In my street it's restricted parking because it's so close to town. So, on one side of the street it's permit holders only and on the other side it's permit holders plus anyone else can park there for up to 1 hour.

Here's the catch, there are no hours of the day printed on the sign. I've seen them come round at 10pm at night and even 8am on a Sunday morning!! A team of them come round in a van and sweep the whole area, make a small fortune and piss off.

Total fucking wankers.

"You. Yeah, you. I'll give you $20 to write a check in my name for $12.49. What do you make, $8 an hour?"

Here's what would be balla. You get on your knees and grovel to that woman and buy her flowers and somehow try and persuade her you aren't a bullying dickhead who picks on people who have nothing to do with his problem and can't fight back.

[Galapogos]

I wonder do these people get paid on commision. If they did it would sorta make sense.

No I think they just do it because it's their job. Not trying to sound condescending or anything, but seriously, this is what they're paid to do. And the reason they're probably such bitches or assholes is because they put up with angry people ALL DAY. Anyone who catches them doing their job hates them and lets them know it. I'd be an ass to anyone that approached me about writing them a ticket too if I had their job.

And Eupho, I don't understand why you'd be such a dick to the poor girl behind the counter? Especially when you were essentially asking her to do you a favor.

I may be confused as to what baller is but I'm pretty sure that's not it!

They're not on commission in the UK but they do have targets so they hand tickets out like sweets to ensure they meet them

[Silly String]

The problem is the people who apply for a job as a Meter Maid are people with problems anyway. Short Man's syndrome, Emo, people hate me, rich people suck, etc etc etc.

[bigred]

Damn emos

[euphoricism]

woa woa I wasnt a dick, that was someone else. I paid the girl more than she makes in an hour for about 20 seconds of work.

I guess I worded it poorly, rereading it does sound kind of assholish. I didnt "throw the 20 at her and ask how much she made, $8 an hour?" it was more like

"Do you have a checkbook? I'll give you $20 if you write me a check for $12.49 and save me a trip to the bank."

"Yeah I can do that"

"Sweet, it saves me some time and it makes you like $7.50"

"Heh thats more than I make in an hour"

"Wow, harsh"

"Heres your receipt"

"Thanks, bye"

[givememyleg]

That's basically a whole different conversation, not just different wording... lol

[euphoricism]

I *should* have been more of an asshole.
