Show it anywayOh well shit happens
What 18 said. If the Governor fires you, sue to your heart's content. And anyone who says "oh typical American move", you explain to me in your little cheese eating surrender monkey country how you get your job back, or get severance, without suing.
Cheese eating what now?
Surrender monkey. I believe it was a derogatory term from WW2 referring to individuals who surrendered.
Oh no, it came from the Simpsons, around 1995. Hey, we are French, but we know good TV!
Well damn. You learn something new every day. I honestly had only heard it on BBC, I don't get to watch much tv on Le boats.
#1 how were you to know? was there anything on the car indicating who it was? and who was he to park illegally? you were right to do your job .
something to consider though it is only his forth day and i am not sure but most jobs dont need a reason to fire someone that soon so maybe thats why he cannot sue?
He isn't above the law. If you get fired. Sue him.
1, you should have maid a good pun. Instead of telling OP good luck, it would have raised his spirits.
you're correct but feom seeing what happens from working at ny job that deals with parking the hifger ups dont care they feels they can park anywhere they feel like it and god forbid they get ticketwd or towed, tgey call and threaten to fire the director and whatnot. so yeat its a bitch.
Well, we have a labour board that deals with those things, so you just take your case to the labour board and they will get the company to pay up. No need to sue. Regardless, this is not an FML. This is GFY(good for you, not the other GFY). OP, you did your job exactly the way you should have. As others have stated, the governor is not above the law. His car was illegally parked and he completely deserved to have it towed and impounded. If your co-workers try to give you grief, tell them to GFThemselves. You have nothing to answer for.

Show it anyway..explaining that people shouldn't park in front of fire hydrants no matter who they are...
The law is the law..
76 I like your picture!
135.. Hey thanks.
It's tough to make calls like that! You made the right choise though because if they make a law for you to inforse it applys to them to! They aren't just ammune to everything because they have some power!
The governor is not exempt from the law.
Freakin politicians think they can do whatever the hell they want.
I just stopped reading at inforse
That is disgusting. He killed someone and got a fine? He should have been jailed for man slaughter.
263- you are correct, but I would like to point out that it would be Fuehrer, as an "e" would take the place of the missing umlaut.
Wear a paper bag over your face...?
Riight. Because no one will find it strange or make the connection...
Yeah, what if there was a fire? If OP hadn't had the car towed, the firefighters wouldn't be able to get to the fire hydrant. Then there would be even more problems!
Don't forget to sharpie a giant "?" on the bag first though. But, yes, OP did nothing wrong and I just hope she isn't attacked/fired for that.
Apologize to the mayor and tell him you was just doing your job and didn't know it was his car! Problem solved! NEXT
yeahh umm if i was op i would garage sale all my stuff and make a run for another state.
My bad i meant governor, I hope you guys could fine a place in your heart to forgive me :(
56, my heart didn't park in front of a fire hydrant, so I'm not going to fine it.
Rule of Law is one of my favourite principles.
You're wrong, 111. Sergio Flores is above the law.
And Chuck Norris. What no more Chuck Norris jokes? Eesh, what a world we live in.
You did the right thing. What makes the governor so special as to allow them to illegally park their vehicle, causing a safety hazard? Remember, you serve the people, not their politicians. Also, if that were me, I'd feel pretty badass about it.
Congratulations on owning the governor, you have earned two internets for that. The guy could be the emperor of the universe; if the law forbids parking next to hydrants, then the vehicle has to be towed. Just because the guy you had towed was the governor doesn't mean he deserves special treatment like that. He's just as accountable as anyone.
Just two internets, you cheap bastard? OP did good!...of course it sounded like she didn't know it was the governor's car until AFTER she had it towed, but still has to count for something.
You're definitely going to get the electric chair for this one. You're ******, go ahead and write out your will, cause you're going down. If anything he'll make you his assistant for doing such a great job and making him payback a small fraction of what he's stolen from your paycheck.

A law broken is a law broken. Governor or not.
