If you own a car in New York City, you know all about alternate side of the street parking and how it can take over your life.
If you don’t, then here’s a quick lesson!

why? why why why? I don’t understand this. Is no one allowed to par there, ever? And you all park there? Are you allowed to park there but only for a certain amount of time? What rule is being broken that you’re being ticketed for? And why will they only give a ticket if you are not in the car? WTF!?!?!?

Oh! okay. I watched again so I could read the no parking sign. Yeah, right, they clean the street twice a week? But now I need to know what it has to do with the Alternate Side of the street? Do they “sweep” alternate sides of the street during the week? There was something like that in Chicago, but, not having a car, its mysteries remained unknown to me.
The video is hilarious, as ever.

I feel lucky to be able to park my big phat Lincon in front of my house all the time, no hassles in Philly.

What a fun video.
Parking is pretty twisted in SF too, and I can never get the hang of it. I have %90 ticket rate whenever I have to park my girlfriend’s car.
