| Manhattan meter maids, are you reading this? lol An incensed Iranian motorist doused his car in petrol and set it ablaze with a match after picking up a parking ticket. Iran's ISNA student news service posted photographs of the charred shell of the car on its website and quoted witnesses describing the driver's frantic but fruitless pleas to the parking attendant not to issue a ticket. "Extremely angry, he took a jerrycan of petrol out of the boot and set fire to his car," ISNA quoted a witness in south Tehran saying. |

| #3 It was a rental. It was from the jihadis' favorite: Hurtz-Rent-a-Bomb. People just don't respect rentals. |
