Poker players who don't know how to play. They slow down the game, and make terrible plays. It's MUCH worse when they get drunk out of their MINDS to go with it.

I couldn't find the "what did you get a ticket for" thread, but since it could go on either one, I'll put it here:

I got a parking ticket for $15 (granted that's not that much) for "overnight parking" when I wasn't parked overnight at the location I was. I called the police station to contest, saying that I was not parked there overnight. Well, according to Glendale law, if I parked my car in the street in any unposted section at 1:59 AM and a cop came by at 2:01 AM, I could get a "overnight parking" ticket, even if I were to leave at 2:02 AM. To me, this is just plain retarded!

I cannot park on the street between 2:00-6:00 AM. So next time I go to my freind's house, I have to call the Glendale Police and let them know that my car might be on the street when they go by. While I understand that this should be done for cases in which the vehicle IS parked overnight on the street, I think it's stupid that I should have to call in everytime I want to go to my freind's house late at night.

^ That is pretty retarded. You would figure they have no important things to do.

They are notorious for hiding on Good Hope in the Milwaukee River valley and catching people speeding down the hill going either way. I've been caught doing this myself, but I deserved what I got then.

I see it all the time. 99% of the time, if I go somewhere on a short trip, and I see a cop in the "sneaky spots" they have someone pulled over by the time I come back 15 minutes later.

Since for some reason i couldnt find it earlier, i made a new one, and it got locked when whoever found it, here it is again.


Quick background, our phone client shows us the rest of our queue group, their status, and time in that status, etc.

Guy goes on lunch, goes to lunch status, it hits 30 minutes, i got a call, i look back and it was back to counting from 30 seconds. He actually changed it to something, and back so his lunch lasted longer.

He ended up going to 15 minutes, so...45 min lunch.

Kinda small, but considering 2 people called in and calls have been waiting pretty much all day, it pisses me off.

Not to mention the other person goes on "research" and "away from desk" for 5 minutes every hour. -.-
