Ruin Someone’s Day With an Empty Parking Ticket Envelope
Nothing disrupts a good day like walking up to your car and seeing the evil orange tint of a parking ticket envelope stuck under one of your windshield wiper blades. Of course, there are worse things than getting a ticket – and hopefully $ 25, $ 40, or, ugh, $ 65 (the amount I changed recently for forgetting to move my car while cleaning the streets in Brooklyn) won’t break the pillars. due to a limited monthly budget, but it always sucks. But if you look at your ticket as the cost of delivering a bad day to one of your many enemies, it might suck a little. don’t want to just pay for your ticket online because it’s two thousand and twentieth), all you have to do is keep this envelope (hopefully in a pristine state that you can maintain it) until the next time one of your neighbors, coworkers, or an anonymous but egregiously bad valet harassing you in some way (perhaps having a terribly bad parking lot).
Then just place the envelope – without the parking ticket, which you hopefully already paid for! – under their windshield so that when they get back to their car, they too will feel the urge to leave an offering to the parking gods. What’s more, if they deliberately pay taxes and fees – or are simply paranoid – their torment will not end when they open the envelope and find that the quote is missing. They will have to spend the next few weeks checking their license plate number against an online database to avoid double penalties for late payment of a non-existent ticket. (In New York, it sometimes takes two weeks or more to display valid tickets in the database.) This pattern will not do real damage to your opponent, but it can ruin their lives. Ahh, here’s the ticket.
