Parking ninjas

I got my first ever parking fine today from some Manly parking ninja who was already on the scene at 8.30 on a Sunday morning. $88 for spending 15 minutes too long in a car space. That is the least fun use of money ever.

It particularly annoys me because of all the stupid penny pinching crap that I subject myself too. 15 minutes less and I could have:

• Had the fresh tiger prawns rather than the thawed vannamei ones. 
• Bought fancy imported beer rather than cheap domestic stuff
• Got my hair cut 
• Had a New York steak rather than a rump
• Had some fresh herbs with my pasta
• Upgraded my phone to something which doesn't get laughed at
