Can someone define what a "Pennsylvania scooper woodchuck" is?
A South Florida meter maid gave a couple of parking violators more than their two quarters worth over the weekend, and now he is out of a job.
On Friday, Barry Shore went on a tirade that would make a certain former Jet Blue flight attendant blush after a woman forgot to pay to park at a meter in Delray Beach. The woman's husband, Bill Evans, eventually confronted 68-year-old Shore and that's when he got a real ear full from the volunteer parking enforcement official.
"Take that and shove it up your (expletive). I could give a (expletive) less, you Pennsylvania scooper woodchuck. I don't give a (expletive) about the job. A guy like you should be the (expletive) out here. Yeah, I almost lost my temper. You see what that says? Volunteer. You don't even know what the (expletive) that means," Shore said. Shore also slapped Sanchitano's hand trying to stop him from filming with his iPhone.
"He basically slapped my face and my phone and called me a woodchuck," Sanchitano said. "I'd really like to know what that means."
It's unclear what set Shore off or what a "Pennsylvania scooper woodchuck" is, but Delray officials fired the volunteer after they received a complaint from the couple.
Shore told local media that he admits he lost his temper, but the couple provoked him.
"He was taunting me. You don't see that part of the video of him sitting in the car, taunting me," he said. "I should have walked away, you know, hindsight, but I didn't walk away. I handed in my resignation."
Oops! I didn’t see your post. Absolutely! But it was years ago.
A frustrated bully wannabe. Like most bureaucrats, IRS agents and bad cops.
Where to begin on this train wreck of a story?
First of all, meter “maid” implies that the meter attendant was a woman, if you know anything about English, which the ‘journalism major” idiot who wrote this story obviously does not.
Second, the meter guy was probably saying “Schuylkill”, not “scooper”. He sounded to me like a Philadelphia native, and they can be rather, shall we say, abrasive? I almost got into a fist fight on the Philadelphia subway many years ago over some snotty comments directed at my wife’s eighty-something year-old grandfather.
Just who knocked the camera phone out of whose hand? Miss Thang looks to me like she could handle the situation without calling for Hubby. They appear to be grifters looking for an easy lawsuit payout from the city.
Finally, could the city official be more of a weasel?
This is why I’m glad not to live in Flori-duh.
Dinsdale the Hedgehog!
WalMart Greeter’s are paid positions.
GMTA!
I was making more of a personality comment than a pay vs. volunteer comment, but thanks.
There was some self-righteous AH who wrote a letter to the editor here in NC over the summer, talking about how he took pride in doing this. (I think it was the Jacksonville NC paper)
You should have seen the comments on the webpage and the subsequent letters to the editor. Boy, did they give him a piece of their minds!
I guess I missed the Lady Gaga meat suit. lol
You can count yourself lucky!
Any day I don’t see or hear about Lady Gaga I count as a lucky day! LOLOL
you know, I’m really not aware of her music, but she’s ubiquitous. And she seems pretty unattractive, but she’s certainly made buckets of money.
I have only heard snippets of her music on Fox News’ shows and it does nothing for me. But I do applaud her for taking the capitalist bull by the horns and shaking out her share of the pie by her own efforts.
Yup, wish I were on her Christmas list. But I don’t *get* why anyone would pay money to hear her stuff. However, I recall my Dad felt the same way about the Beatles and Elton John. :)
A South Florida meter maid... Barry Shore... told local media that he admits he lost his temper, but the couple provoked him.Calling him a meter "maid" in print will probably drive him up the water tower with a high powered rifle. Thanks nick.
Hey, maybe she’s in love with Jame Garner and desperate to attract his attention. She had to do something, right?
Lmao! At least he didn’t call it a NJ scooper woodchuck. I don’t even want to know what insults he calls people from NJ.
He called him a Pennsylvania Schuylkill woodchuck. The Schuylkill River (pronounced SKOOL-kill) runs from Reading down to Philadelphia and empties into the Delaware just north of the airport. What the woodchuck reference means I have no idea...my only guess is that people around here pronounce “water” as WOOD-er, but otherwise the apparent insult is lost on me.
