I watch “Castle” the mystery/thriller/comedy on CBS every Monday. It’s a great show. This week, our hero takes out after parking, at least a bit. One of the detectives is listing crimes done by a suspect. Castle’s comment is in italics. (If you want to watch it go here and skip forward to about 8 minutes in.)
Assault
Ew
Aggravated assault
Bad
Assault with a deadly weapon
Worse
Battery against a city employee – Parking enforcement
Doesn’t count
At least the detectives jump on him.
It’s these little jabs, subtle, actually funny to most, that grind and grind at our industry. It wouldn’t be funny if said about a garage collector, sewer repairman, or a bus driver. But…you get the idea. Any idea why it’s funny when said about our team? It ain’t because of Parking Wars.
