How to beat Alternate Side/street cleaning ticket in NY?

Watched a traffic police strike three double-parked cars (on two different blocks) by 11:02. Vicious!

vicious is not the word, how can one take such a job? Knowing that I'm getting up each day to cause 100 people's lives miserable today. And then go home to his family and relax and back to bed to get strength to continue his job to ruin another X amount of people's day.
 Yes it's a job,but a job which every guy is ready to shoot and kill them.

Look at those who have this job. Do they look like people who would otherwise qualify for anything else? You rarely see cops giving such tickets. I seriously view the street cleaners (Simcha Felder's Project Sweep etc.) as more respectable human beings.

Anyone have any good excuses to get out of a double parking ticket of a non-commercial vehicle ? It was double parked on a school block in Brooklyn because they was alternate side parking in effect, and everyone double parks at those hours anyway.

if you were dropping your small kids off in the school, and now you could not park in front of the school for 2 min to take my kid up because of asp and of course didn't want to get in the way of the sweeping trucks so doubled parked for a second to run up to my son's class and come right back to a nice big present for taking my kid safely into class.
 I think such an excuse would be dismissed but don't know all the details by you.
 Good luck.

Got an ASP ticket 6 min after the time (930-1100) came at 9:36am and just getting the ticket, any decent excuse for why I missed it by 6 min on the dot?!
 I did park 2-3 blocks down because there were no spots and had no choice to take that spot if I wanted to go to sleep that night.
 Thanks

Something went wrong with NYPD's meter maids today. I had my car parked on 13th Ave. Boro Park for more than a half hour after my meter receipt expired and came back to find NO TICKET  BH!

The ironic part is that when I realized that I'm overtime I didn't even rush back to my car, assuming that it had definitely been ticketed!

Nah it was very windy today, I was wondering why when I opened my car door a ticket came flying in, most probably yours. Lol
 Look at the bright side you saved $.50.

I'm looking at the even brighter side. I saved $35!

Nope $45, I guess you haven't got a ticket in a while.
 Was surprised to see ,but they upped it to $45.

I'm getting happier by the minute! 

For all I know, you're now going to charge me 10% of the extra ten dollars "you saved" me...

That's really weird, just got one last week and it said $45, wonder why some parts of ny is $45 and some $35? We're you parked in a commercial area or residential?

Asp is 45 and meter is 35.
Thread is about asp, but the above oster mentioned a meter story.. Hence the confusion
