Paying investors more for a few days of "disrupted revenue" than the total profit from all parking meters, solid strategy.
100% feel that. When I lived in the city I had other college aged adults living around me and most of the weekend I couldn't ever get a good night's sleep with them blasting the stereo until like 3am.
I use they/them for people I don't know the preferred pronouns of and once I'm told, I use their preferred pronouns. Recently had someone at work just refer to me as "they" which was really out left field since I've been there long enough for all the regular staff to know better so it definitely felt more like a slight than someone just not assuming.
So I'm sick, I hate going to the doctor because I've had generally terrible experiences since transitioning. But I was doing so poorly that I was convinced to go and generally the urgent care treated me well. Then I go to the pharmacy for a single connected blisterpack of Zofran (10 total). I'm feeling like absolute shit and I walk off to see if they have anything for me to grab to drink to rehydrate, they didn't, and then I sat for like 40 minutes waiting for them to fill my prescription just thinkin they had other shit they were doing since it's kinda later in the evening. Only after someone that showed up after me to wait got served did I go up to the counter and I overheard them whispering to each other further back that they put the wrong birthdate in and used [Deadname] [Current Last Name], a name I've never legally used. So another 15 minutes pass as they take the filled prescription back to repackage because the wrong fucking name is on it, all for a single blisterpack that could've been filled in 10 minutes at most. I"m super dizzy, dehydrated, nauseous the entire time. So fuck you CVS making an already incredibly shitty day even worse.
We were shown that movie, with that scene in full, in high school and frankly I memory holed that so hard I had to double check to make sure it was the right scene I was thinking about. I don't even remember the tertiary reason we started watching it back then and I don't remember any of the plot, but that scene has stood out to me for well over a decade.
