Re: Fire Hydrants - Parking Fines - who knew??
I can relate to that. We live next to a path (between my place and the neighbour). Apparently its okay to let your dog go there. In the spring when the snow melts, theres piles everywhere. I'm tempted to collect it and follow the dog home and...
Of course that would take too much effort.

Re: Fire Hydrants - Parking Fines - who knew??
When i first started work the girl i worked with looked out the window and laughed and said ' look some idiot has parked the wrong way in the street, they will get a ticket.' Yep that idiot was me 
Well i knew about the fire hydrant thing but not parking the wrong way in the street! oh well live and learn.
Saw the man with the chalk one day marking wheels and had a bit of a mild panic and asked same work colleague what the hell was he doing. As from where i was standing it just looked like one of those things the army use to check for bombs under your car
She did laugh at me.
As with regards to parking i personally wonder what the hell most canadians are thinking!:curse: parking right in front of road crossings, and im talking huge lorries,buses as well! at T junctions cars parked opposite, i could go on and on. It drives me frickin nuts :curse:

The daughter of one of my neighbours has an intensely annoying habit. OK, she parks on the correct side of the road, but she does it slap bang next to a blind right-hand corner.

You would think they could have little signs or marks on the road to indicate the edge of the allowed parking. I mean seriously, do they expect everyone to go round with a 100m tape measure to check their distances? If they say "it's just a guideline" then what about people who park 6 inches too close and get a ticket? I don't think I could judge a 6 inch error over the space of 3 metres personally.
