That’s a lot of dimes.

Soon it will take longer to put the money in than the time it pays for.

I'll bet the fine for expired meters is cheap, maybe $30 cheap.
But the fees are $300-500 for the paper it's on.

26 quarters for an hour? Maybe they take credit cards.

No problem, these take credit cards. Still, the funny part is, most women can’t seem to figure out how to work the parking meters, and we’ve had them for a couple of years. Every time I go to a lot with these meters, at least one meter has a woman (or group of women) standing in front of it for 5 minutes or more, because they don’t bother to read the instructions printed clearly in front of their eyes.

You’re supposed to tell the meter how much time you want, then put the money it. Instead, the ladies seem to always put the money in first, which just locks the machine up until they get smart enough to cancel the transaction and try again.
