My daughter was involved in a fender bender a couple weeks ago. Her passenger side brake line blew out and she tapped the car in front of her which then tapped the car in front of that. Since the car had no brakes, it had to be towed, so I had it towed to my buddy mechanic's house, who was on vacation at the time. The tow truck driver dropped it in the driveway, so I figured I'd be nice and move it to the street (which is a cul-de-sac). Apparently this is not allowed, so the next day there was a parking ticket. Yesterday, I went to pay the ticket in person at the police station. I handed the clerk the required $100, and proceeded to tell her what had transpired, to which she exclaimed "That's terrible! I'm letting you off with a warning.", and she gave me my $100 back and tore up the ticket. Kinda anti-climactic, but... Yay.

You should have slipped her back a $20 and said lunch is on me.

I was in shock. I'd have given her the entire $100, but I was in a hurry to get back to work and wasn't really thinking about tipping anyone. Especially a uniformed employee of the county/city. After all the BS one goes through here in Cook County, which is about to be the highest taxed county in the nation, and all the hoops a person has to jump through just to have the privilege of driving, I'll take what ever I can get.

Have you seen government employees? It's like if Walmart shoppers actually worked there.

Well, I assumed we were talking DMV level employees.
