It's Like An Oxymoron For The Eyes!

It's Like An Oxymoron For The Eyes!

Driving through a plaza we noticed a parking control officer giving someone a ticket for parking in a 'no parking' zone.

That may not seem unusual to you at first glance.  Until you take a closer look and notice, the parking control officer is parked in a fire route!

This is may not be an oxymoron but is sure is a great example of do as I say and not as I do!
We weren't the only ones who stopped and snapped a picture of this!

You need to send that to David Letterman. He would have a blast with it!

Maybe I should Joni and John. Several other people were standing around and everyone was upset that the parking officer parked in a fire route, which in our mind was worse than where that lady parked!

Definitely a David Letterman moment.  Sometimes when you put a uniform on someone...

Pretty sad when the local authorities cannot follow the law! That sets a poor example!

Another case of the authorities thinking they are not bound by the same rules as the rest of us.... I get so aggravated waching police talk on their cells while driving, drive without their seatbelts, etc.  They get this attitude that they think they are above the law.  arrgh

Al and Peggy,

You just can't make this stuff up. Life is full of these little ironies.

Good evening.

They might think that they are above the law...

Hi Al and Peggy, Good Catch. You are more right than you know when you say " Do As I Say and Not as I Do". The news is just full of those in power abusing their positions and making life over in their own image.
