I found an unmanned taxi cap from nearby big city parked in one of our handicap spaces. Instant ticket. Driver came-out before I could drive away, and I felt my soul die a little more after talking to him. Cue responses:
No I won't take the ticket back. Cut you a break? Why? (You had 100 empty spaces to watch for your fare from) No I won't take it back. No. No. Sorry, nope. No.
Well, of course nobody is using this space; you're sitting in it.
Your passenger is handicapped? In that case why weren't you waiting for him in the loading area?
Your passenger is American Indian? That's fantastic, so am I; what does that have to do with anything?
You're not going to pay it? May I recommend you do, otherwise you'll receive a citation for 10X the amount, and if you don't show up in court, there will be a warrant out for your arrest.
How can you be arrested? Well, see this is a (local police) ticket. No, you can't pay me, you have to pay them.
Where is their office? It's down the road on XYZ street, about 2-miles. Directions? I can call them for you...Ok you don't want to speak with them. How about putting the address in your GPS? You don't have one, oh. (I saw one through the window of your taxi you liar) Mail the ticket? I don't know, it might not get there in time - I wouldn't risk it; it would take you 5-minutes to go now.
No you can't give me the money. You. Have. To. Pay. Them. Yes I know how to do my job, I am trying to explain that taking your money is not part of my job, which is why I referred you to the police.
If you go back to Big City they'll never find you? I don't think you want to risk that; like I said, do you really want a warrant out on you for a parking ticket?
You want to give me $20 to take the ticket back? Well, for $5 more you can pay the ticket to the police. No, thank you I don't need $ for lunch, I brought my own. (My coffee is getting cold asshole)
Why do I keep mentioning the police? Because I think they can answer your questions better than I can. Are you sure you wouldn't like me to call them for you?
No I will not cut you a break. No, just because you have a ticket doesn't mean you get to park here the rest of the day.
You're leaving? Wonderful. Have a nice day sir.
(I then called his cab company to inform them that they might have a problem due to him refusing to pay the ticket. I also called the local police office to let them know that if he showed up he would probably give them an attitude)
