Karma police

Car-mic retribution.

There are few feelings worse than returning to your car only to find that there’s a great, big, dirty, metal clamp on it that’s going to keep you stuck where you are until you hand over your hard-earned cash.

But sometimes the universe grants us a slice of relief, and today it comes in the form of some delicious karma.

Spotted outside St. Stephen’s Church on Upper Mount Street, Dublin today was a van belonging to Nationwide Controlled Parking Systems Ltd (also known as the clampers). And on that van was a clamp.

Oh yes, it looks like the clamper has become the clamp-ee. Alanis Morissette could write a whole song about this picture.
