Say some kind and generous soul left seven unused minutes on the parking meter and left you with three big choices.
First of all, you could go with the No Dollar Dash. This is where you do some quick mental math and figure you can run all your errands before the time expires. If you can rent a movie, grab a slice of pizza, and pick up the dry cleaning that quick, then go man, just go.
Then again, maybe you’re not a No Dollar Dash kind of guy. Perhaps you prefer the Tight Quarter Squeeze because you’re a bit cheap and afraid of getting a ticket. So you plug a warm quarter in there because you’re sure seventeen minutes will be good enough. Hey, you’re still thankful for the seven free minutes, but figure it’s worth buying yourself a brisk walk in place of a run.
Lastly, you could just go Slot Machine. These folks just don’t trust themselves. The parking ticket must be avoided at all costs, even if it means dumping an extra couple dollars in the meter. They buy themselves a big, warm security blanket in case they get held up somewhere.
And now, even though most of us would like to think of ourselves as laid back No Dollar Dash kind of folks, let’s be honest. We love the Slot Machines, because they’re the ones who leave us with seven minutes left the next time. And if it wasn’t for the Tight Quarter Squeezers and their perfect parking planning, getting seven minutes of free time would just become no big deal.
So by holding hands and all joining together, we all make that world go right on round.
AWESOME!
I’ve never had to put money in a parking meter in my life…
Sometimes I put enough in to surprise the next person!
You gave me an idea to walk around town one day with a pocket full of quarters, (it’s a small town), and check who’s about to run out, beating the tire chalking/ticket man, and make some people’s day!
Any time I park at a meter, I put in enough so the next person can park free. I figure it’s a little bit of awesome that may make someone’s day. In the tiny town where I used to live, the first 10 minutes are free and a quarter still gets you an hour. In fact, up into the 90s, you could still slug a penny for every 10 min.!!!
I’ve never put money in a parking meter. One day I want to do that No Dollae Dash just for fun, even if I don’t have any stuff to do. Just park, run and buy something, and then run back. It would be like a race!
It’s an awesome feeling it is! Now that my area is doing ticket machines, if I have a good amount of time left, I give it to the person waiting to park or put it back into the machine where people can see the ticket before they try to purchase another one.
I’m not a parking meter kind of gal. I try to park in a parking garage and its pretty easy to do around here… especially considering that I have a pass to a parking garage really close to the mall!
Every time I’m out with my friend, she would rather park at a meter and we drive around for a bit looking for ones with time still on them!
