Today, I was blissfully strolling to work when a lovely, down to earth, and obviously very intelligent woman engaged me in the following conversation against my will:
Her: What’s the deal with the parking meters?
Me: Wait? What? During the posted hours of operation, you put quarters in the meter or you get a parking ticket.
Her: Really?
Me: Uhmmmm, that’s generally how the system works…
Her: Ugh! Well, that’s just plain unreasonable.
Me: Yeah, totally, it’s messed up…
It’s going to be one of those days…
