In such instances, I get a rush of some weird satisfaction or saving or escape or a reward for not paying the parking fee ( say it could be Rs 10 or Rs 5).

| Parking Fee Ticket |
Couple of days back when I went to Banaswadi Railway station to see off my spouce. I had parked my scooter outside the parking area as there was no convenient space to park it inside. It was evening time and as soon as I parked a guy came and handed over some kind of parking ticket.
After a while I returned to take the scooter. No one was seen around. I didn’t wait too long as I took my scooter out of the area. Woooh!
And so I left without paying the parking fee.
I felt like a little victory, some kind of saving, something similar to a feeling when the librarian skips to collect late due charges from you. I wonder if it’s the same feeling one get while taking samples from hotel room or from an airline?
I don’t think the people who break such rules are that bad a lot – probably it’s like a harmless act which is the work of some common gene.
Whatever it is, I felt so good when I skipped paying that 10 bucks. Is it that I said to myself that this is not worth the amount, etc.
