Parking at the airport drop off? Whoops!
Last I heard was it's in the process of being towed

Even better would be if there was a tow truck hooking up instead. Many years ago I flew into Orlando and saw a really nice Mustang getting hooked up to a tow truck for being parked in the drop-off area. There were huge "No parking, tow away zone" signs hanging from the ceiling, one right where it should be perfectly visible from the driver's seat, and you had to drive right past a line of tow trucks parked just outside the drop-off area waiting for when someone parked illegally. It takes a special kind of stupid to park in an area where there are numerous huge signs saying unattended vehicles would be immediately towed and where you had to drive right by a line of tow trucks obviously waiting to tow illegally parked cars so it's not like the drive thought they could beat the tow truck getting there considering the tow truck is parked seconds away.

I've watched a car get towed from the drop off at the airport. The driver came running out screaming and the tow truck driver ignored them and hauled it off. They legit hadn't been there for 5 minutes, but like the cop told them "no parking means no parking."

Will be a really funny prank to pull at an airport. Park it there go walk somewhere else and have the car summoned into you while they’re trying to write you a ticket. 😂

I got some enjoyment once wait g for uber watching a parking enforcement officer argue with some douche at the airport. I was rooting for her it had stages… 1. Calmly telling them they can’t park where they are and they needed to keep moving 2. Telling me hem if they don’t move she’ll start writing the ticket 3. Final pre ticket warning as she pulled the ticket handheld out 4. Telling them if they don’t move when she’s done with the ticket they’ll call actual PD over 5. Handing them the ticket and giving them a final. Do I need to call PD? 6. Calling PD on their radio and watching the guy finally peel out as we saw PD coming down the terminal road
Loved every minute of it and the parking enforcement officer never raised their voice once while the douche kept trying to intimidate her. People on the curb were laughing at him.

There is no stopping in a white zone

No, The white zone is for loading and unloading. There is no stopping in the red zone.

Yes, I want you to have an abortion. It’s really the only sensible thing to do if it’s done properly. Therapeutically, there’s no danger involved.

I hope it doesn’t catch on fire and cause an accident with the tow truck driver

I think if that cop gives the owner a ticket it is considered domestic terrorism

In Detroit we had these enforcers before covid. After now, you can park in the 2nd or 3rd lane and go in. Nobody cares
