Parking Wars

Hollywood must be COMPLETELY out of ideas. I was flipping channels looking for something to watch, and came across a show called Parking Wars on A&E. It’s a reality show that follows meter maids, as they give parking tickets. Are you serious? WHO is watching this show?! Giving parking tickets is NOT exciting stuff. The craziest it got, was at one point, a guy who had just gotten a ticket, came out of the store he was in, and contested he shouldn’t have gotten a ticket since he was right there. He had the meter maid call his supervisor over, so she drove down and explained to him he’s an idiot.

Then, they switched gears a little and followed people whose job it is to boot cars. One guy ran out of his house while his car was being booted and claimed the license plate on the car was not his, that it was his sister’s. So his argument was that the parking tickets that were associated with that license plate were not his, and therefore his car shouldn’t be getting booted. Needless to say, the gentleman was quite irate, as I’m sure his story was the complete truth. I often have my brother’s license plates on my car. It’s just what you do, and the parking authorities should be more lenient. For realz.

This is ground breaking television people, although I can’t wait till the premiere of “Watch Paint Dry” airs next week! Now THAT show is gonna have some craziness!

Blech.
