Wheel Clamping: Car park adjacent to gym has wheel clamping area signs on light poles outside of Crack Converters and a rug shop. Said businesses close @ 17:30. I park @17:40, due to gym car park being full. Return to my car @ 19:00 and I notice a white sticker on window, with details of my alledged parking misdemeanour, stating I parked @ 17:20, thus depriving above businesses of a bay for customers to park. This immediately pisses me off, and I become more pissed off when a parking person approaches and exclaims, "how do you want to pay, cash or card?". $140 later and the clamp is removed. How the hell do I argue when they have a big red clamp on my wheel?
I get home and during a telephone conversation with my brother, discover that these people receive a commision for each vehicle clamped and subsequently unclamped upon payment.
I hope they get the Swine Flu 2 retrovirus and the pox
