I read that a douche is a good thing.

You probably had to be of the right age in the 70's to have heard expressions using that word

Wasn't there a song about that?

It amazes me that some people are that lazy!!! Walking a few more steps is healthy for you! Same for shopping carts put back into proper storage areas.

Saw one today in front of the SS bowling alley! Maybe a case of entitlement.

Maybe if some of these people got tickets for illegal parking, this practice would stop! But then, I must be dreaming.

I have seen a number of times at LSL (just tonight was one) CART DRIVERS pull into a spot occupied by a CAR as well. Don't always assume the CAR DRIVER is the "regular parking douche."

Some of the CART PILOTS don't have a clue on rules of the road. They think because they aren't in an automobile it doesn't apply to them.

Well, I got a parking ticket story for you. I just got a letter in the mail (at our home up north) from the Miami/Dade county clerk parking violations bureau telling me I am over due on payment for a parking ticket and I need to send in a payment of $47 or I will be reported to a collection agency. I never got a parking ticket so I am confused. They claim I parked in a prohibited area on September 13th, which is impossible. We do have a car in the garage of our Villages home, but we were at our home up north when the alleged parking violation took place. Furthermore, we have never been to the greater Miami area. So we got a ticket while our car was in our garage and we were about 1,300 miles away? Go figure, they do hand out parking tickets, just not to actual violators. Needless to say, I will be on the phone tomorrow to argue my case. Not how I was planning to spend my Monday morning!

That happened to me in NYC many years ago. I went through the "process" of sending proof etc and finally ended up paying the $125 fine. In the end I would have had to have taken to "ticket court" in NYC. Just wasn't worth the time or cost.


Hopefully Miami is easier. A cop must have written down someone else's plate number incorrectly.

Read my post. That is exactly what I was describing.

There is not much presence anymore of patrolling by the various police departments.

I will take a flyer and guess that the politics/optics/complaints of those being ticketed to the authorities and powers that be has created the lack of enforcement......hence too many do not care how they park/drive/speed.....no consequences hence continued and increasing violations.

If I were to get a parking ticket on my golf cart, in the license plate area of the form, they would have to write in the name of the an SEC West school, That might actually help them find me as true Southerners are an endangered species here.

You might recall that several months ago, police issued an advisory that vehicles parked on the left side of the street facing into oncoming traffic would receive a ticket. This violation is more rampant than ever, mostly service contractors. It appears this was the Sheriff's office crying wolf. I suggest the Departments keep quiet if they don't plan to follow up to their warnings.
