    I swear to fuk, the fact that they have the worst job in society and the fact that they know it is the only thing that's keepin me sane right now.
    Park the car at a friends house and come out at half nine to that.

    I'd shlt in his throat if I could.

    They put it up to 80 in Dublin cause at 40 euros a lot of people weren't paying and it generally isn't worth pursuing them through the courts for that amount.

    Oh man I'd love that job. Clamping people, fining people, can you think of anything for satisfying? I can't!

    Cheek of those wardens.

    Perhaps you should ring up and say you have a magic pass that allows you to park wherever you want and the warden will get sacked.

    I was gonna mention stalking but I might get in trouble. Seriously though, tackle the politicians who come to the door, they love the guy who mumbles "uh hu, my dad votes for you", be the guy who says "you are a ****ing disgrace, wtf is with this fine?!?!?!"

    Hate that. My two sisters were both clamped while they ran into the shop to get something. They were only two minutes in the shop and it only took the clamper that to get the two clamp's on their cars.
    I could not stop laughing. There is free parking 1 minute walk down the road, pure lazyness.
    They wont be doing it again. :-)

    Wow... don't they know who you are ?

    Surely with your huge contribution to Irish society you have been granted the freedom of the city, which entitles you to park anywhere.

    OP you need to get yourself down to Lidl or Aldi and pick yourself up 4 wheel clamps. Then any time you park where you shouldn't you can clamp your car yourself.

    They can't clamp you if you're already clamped. ;)

    Just make sure you don't write yourself a ticket. ;)

    Yeah its a pain in the butt, especially when they are right you just want to kick them in the head anyway.
    I got a ticket on my wedding day, I was a little late and parked the car outside the church in the yellow box, generally reserved for wedding and funeral cars, I had the ribbons on the car and everything and still came out to a ticket, didn't mind got p*ssed anyhow.

    Was it on private property or out on the road?

    Well take solace in the fact that you were probably still over the limit and could have been done for drunk driving on the way home!

    I'm thinking a 5euro lump of round steak from tesco fried up with some onions and pepper sauce.. Just a massive steak on a plate.


    Was going to buy a deep fat fryer today so I could make battered garlic mushrooms myself but this fine has fuked that plan sideways.

    It would be the best thing to ever happen to me.. I need to sell the car to start saving to go abroad next year.
    Problem is I don't have the willpower to sell the car.

    If I got caught the next morning, I'd be in Thailand in 12 months..

    I got a ticket recently, and I saw the warden from a distance as he was filling out the ticket and putting it under the wiper. When I got to the car I saw the €40 fine... so I went to the nearest parking meter and bought a parking ticket, and went straight to the governement services centre where they cancelled my parking fine, as the time difference was only a minute... apparently they give you 10 minutes.

    By the way, a deep fat frier is slow suicide my friend... try making a Thai green curry instead, its the biz and its easy to make

    Better clarify why I'm so pissed off actually..

    Just a month ago, I payed 90euro for the car "being out of tax". The car was taxed and had the tax disc in the car.. The retard couldn't see that the insurance and NCT were on the top of the windscreen and the tax on the bottom.

    Between fixing the thing, paying 2400euro insurance, 155 euro every 3 months on tax and 30-40 a week on fuel, these stupid fines are killin me. Can't wait to just get rid of the thing as much as I love it.

    Way way way too expensive to own a car in what should be a first world country. We're riddled no matter what we try to do.

    They can tow you away. Surely the OP's friend has a few visitor passes in the house or god forbid the OP has a bit of money to pay for parking. Clamping is a necessary evil.
