A minute sure but he’d been there a while (I watched him standing there while I left the building and was walking up the block) and there was still 5 minutes on the meter. Was he just going to stand still for 5+ minutes instead of checking the other cars in that line? I totally get if it’s about to flip and you notice it, but it’s giving speed trap for going 1 under/over the speed limit vibes.

Again, I was heading to my car and he was actually in my way to get to the entrance so it just felt unnecessary. If I drive (in this case it was for a doctors appointment so seemed unfair to everyone that I take the T) I pay attention to signage and meters. Sometimes the meter maids are just being extra.

I am not complaining if I’d been over time or anything, it’s just a bit unnecessary to wait that long for a specific car. Especially when there are so many cars around and likely someone is actually overtime or parked in a no parking zone, etc.
