I think we need to know what you think. It is utterly contemptible to post up a polemical article like this and throw it out there, you know what you're doing and anyone with half a brain sees through it.
I have no idea what this means.Raygun said:

While I agree that some 'traffic wardens' are odd to say the least, having a go at one while they are doing their job is nor fair game, I have had more than my fair share of idiots taking pops at me, so much so that one resident in a local town has an harassment order against him, and on Monday, a man that I asked to move off the yellow line and into a parking bay actually drove at me.
The only people that should have problems with civil enforcement officers (that's what we arre) are the ones that cannot/will not park properly. And even then, they should just accept they are in the wrong, rather than shouting, swearing, threatening and intimidating, all while stating they know the law better than we do!
Seriously with some jobs it goes with the territory. Mine means I get called all sorts of things and often not to my face and with far more potentially damaging results than being called a "jumped up mini Hitler who was obviously bottom of the class or they'd have a proper job or be a pig." For example.The only people that should have problems with civil enforcement officers (that's what we arre) are the ones that cannot/will not park properly.

There are good and bad in all walks of life but you do get a feeling some don't help themselves when they turn up at a pay and display town centre car park at 5pm on a Saturday evening but ignore a busy street on their patch where people park in 1 hour spots for days at a time...
Nothing justifies harassment, but being on the receiving end of a bit of vitriol has to be accepted as an occupational hazard in some walks of life. If you don't like it, and unless it's against equality, disability, etc. laws, find another job.

There's a bit of vitriol and there is being harassed/threatened/spat at every day for 6 months, it does reach a point where you have to say enough is enough (this was all from one person, who received a bang to rights ticket in May last year), also I can take some crap, but being deliberately driven at and him only missing me cos I was on the pavement is really not what I signed up for,
Sorry if this is off topic, but I have always wondered; why would someone be a traffic warden, does it pay really well? they get loads of abuse, they are strongly disliked and they get rained on. If someone wants an outdoors job there are lots of better options.Chainsaw Rebuild said:

You meet some real idiots, but you also meet some really nice people. And some people do appreciate us.
Just to point out, we are not on commission and we don't get bonuses. We get paid an hourly rate.
Although there are times I wish we were issued with tasers!

That's just around the corner from where i live, Literally 1 street away.
Those flats were built by a Jewish charity and advertised as only for ultra orthodox from 1 small sect.
They were forced to take the advertising down but surprisingly it was only occupied by their 'target' audience.
It started with 1 block which had no parking so the residents just left their cars on the road on doubles and singles all day.
They then built another block which has parking but cars are still left on the road anyway.
Parking is a nightmere round there its on a bus route with a blind right hand corner.
Cars are double and tipple parked all day right on the corner as well.
There are industrial units there as well as a garage which trades and repairs on the road.
As soon as the parking warden turns up, which is not very often everyone piles out of the flats and surrounding business to intimidate the warden and delay him.
It would not be one or two people but 20 plus.
Just for a bit of back ground.

I mean when do you ever see a crowd of blokes around a traffic warden issuing a ticket ?
Yeah 1 or 2 might have a word but that many is harassment.

Can't be bothered to watch the video or read the article, but if this puts just one person off from becoming a bottom-inspector then I'd say it's a result.
If there weren't so many arrseholes there wouldn't be as much need for "bottom inspectors".Leroy902 said:
Some on here are on thin ice. You'll be accused of being anti-semitic.
Did you hear about the Catholic cobbler who mended the rabbi's shoes and proudly put up a sign, saying Paddy McMurphy, cobblers to the rabbi...When the Jewish cobbler across the road saw it, he put up a sign saying Abel Schumann, bks to the Pope...

Only on pistonheads would people try to justify assault on a parking warden just trying do his job. It does not take Sherlock Holmes to Imagine why a traffic warden would be attacked.
Case closed. Because it's easy to imagine a motive for attacking a traffic warden it must mean he is the victim...TonyToniTone said:
Why are you reading the mail ? I thought it was just for racists like me !

Interesting to see the apology for their earlier coverage in which the cowardly bully of a traffic warden attacked 20 innocent passers by...oh, wait, DM seems to have forgotten to mention that.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
