    you return to your car just after running to the shop, there's a fella with a yellow brace in his hand just about to clamp the shít out of your car..

    You are 5 feet away

    He hasn't got the clamp on yet..

    That scenario hasn't happened to me. But I was 13 mins late off a ticket and came back to a clamped car, clampers nowhere in sight. So the thought occured.

    So you were fair game.

    Yes, I know you're all gonna say clampers are the scum of the earth, the devils spawn etc but you're ticket ran out, tough titty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,942 ✭✭✭Danbo!


    Learn an expensive lesson and park legally next time. Even if you are 'just running to the shop'

    If you're going to be like that, I'm just going to have to start pointing out your errors in grammar! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    Depend on if the clamper is a total pr1ck or not.
    I managed to persuade a clamper not to clamp me one morning even though he was nearly finished putting on the clamp :D

    Flirting ftw!

    I got stung with a clamp a few months back, nothing I could do but put my hands up and accept it, I was in the wrong, no if's or but's


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    Stride towards him in a self-assured manner and shout in an authoritative voice, "It's ok, I have authorisation to park here!" "Hold on while I fetch the authorisation form!"

    Then get into the car and drive away quickly. Obviously, you should then turn around and drive past him a few times, grinning and waving.

    well if they're clamping you for being late off a ticket, what you do is.....hail down someone else who's leaving with an up to date ticket and claim your ticket fell onto the floor, it works coz the clampers take a photo of the dash to show there's no ticket there but you can send off your "new" ticket and youre sorted!

    That only works if

    a). Have bewbs

    b). You don't have bewbs, but the clamper is gay & you can camp it up.

    I came back to my clamped car just as they'd put the sticker on the driver's side window.

    "This your car?"
    "Yep."
    *declamps car*
    "Jaysus, thanks!"
    "No worries!"


    If you get to the car before they leave, they'll leave ye be.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Go to see Perrier's Bounty, you'll have your answer then :)

    True,

    Same thing happened to me last year. I put in enough money for an hour. Got held up in a meeting and was stuck there for about an extra 15 mins. When I got back to the car the clampers were there and had clamped the car next to mine, he was standing beside my car looking at it as I got there.

    He saw me coming running so just said "Ah, you just made it" or something to that effect, and moved on to check the rest of the cars.

    Yeah, saw I guy getting clamped yesterday and they were literally putting it on as he ran to his car so they removed it and the DO NOT REMOVE! sticker. They must not be able to read or something.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I've had this happen to me, I just hopped in the car and drove off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,378 ✭✭✭mojesius


    I got clamped last weekend. I paid for ticket and forgot to put it in my car. Easily the most stupid thing I've ever done. :(

    Anyhow... It depends, if he is one of those assholes that work for the private companies that are like the assholes in galway, you have no other choice than to pull out your colt 45 and shoot the ****... failing the carrying of a significant fire arm, pull out your cock and fap on the back of his head as he bends down to lock the clamp in place.

    if you have the ticket and it shows the right time on it, post it off to them, people have to do this when your ticket falls to the floor of the car.

    Piss in his eyes and steal his tea and coffee!!
