Dismissed

I alluded before to a completely ridiculous parking ticket that I got. I went in today to talk to the "traffic referee", and he saw the pictures he agreed that it was lame, so he dismissed it.

Saying it like that sugar coats it somewhat. I mean, the "referee" would just as soon have spit in my eye as dismiss the ticket...I'm sure he gets fed a truckload of BS a day, but come on. The citation I got was a complete joke. He looked at it for a minute, tried to tell me that I was in violation (until I pointed out that the pictures clearly show otherwise), made a half-hearted attempt at an "assuming the truck wasn't moved" argument, and then was apparently beaten down by his own apathy and wrote 'dismissed' on his papers and bid me good day. Well...it was more of a "we're done here" gesture than anything else.

Hey, at least I didn't have to pay an undeserved $25.
