When you parked your car was right on my bumper, causing scratches.

You're an ASSHOLE

So said the note on my windshield, parked behind Whole Paycheck at 4th/Harrison.

I knew I was close, as spaces are tight parking on the street in San Francisco, but I didn't think I was touching his car. In fact, I went out and checked and didn't think I saw any contact, let alone feel anything. bummer.

But wait. Let's think about this a bit.

You're parallel parking in San Francisco downtown in uber-high density. Is it anywhere near reasonable to expect that your bumper will never get touched or scratched by another bumper ?

I mean, it's one of those nouns whose very existence is the result of a noun. I mean, in Baseball, would you expect a catcher to get pissed off if he was actually expected to catch something? Pitchers who refuse to pitch?

I may be an asshole, but I'm not really sure it's for this transgression :)

Oddly enough, the note was written on the back of a printed webpage of Isaiah 14:12. Not that this particular passage is damning, but just interesting that this judgemental view was pasted on my windshield by someone of the Christian faith. Ne Jugez point, afin que vous ne soyez point juges....

Just went to the new SF Muni website:
http://www.sfmta.com

where you can now buy FastPasses and those funky parking meter cards. I mean, I feel like I'm living in 1997 all over again, i mean you can actually buy shit online and have it sent to your house. Who woulda thunk it. Talk about forward-thinking municipalities.

Well, at least I can have one of those parking meter cards now instead of having to stockpile change. I'm still impressed with my own idea of having some sort of proximity sensor that can just read/charge money from a FastTrak doodad that we use to speed up bridge toll payment. I mean, why not...park, have the meter charge your FastTrak account for the time spent.

I guess it would rob the city of too much parking ticket revenue.

Last rant though is that you can only buy the sfmuni FastPasses from the 10th through the 22nd!?!

I mean...wtf? It's not like I have to deal with international postage.

If they're going to do that kind of thing, why not just let me subscribe to it and mail/charge me automatically. At least give me the option.
