Best Fuck-You Courtesy: Self-Serve Boots


If you live or work or just get around by car in the city, parking tickets can stack up quickly. And if you have just three of them 30 days past due, your car can get booted. Time was you had to go pay your tickets in person before a crew was sent to remove the boot. But here in the super-convenient future, you can call to pay and receive a code to unlock and return it yourself. Your reward for doing the city's job? A fee for using a credit card, a "convenience charge" for interacting with a fucking automated system, and a huge fee if you don't get the boot back to the city within 48 hours. Anybody up for a little Project Mayhem action?
