Greeks are so sensitive.
PS
Don't forget to take credit for Sandals and the Phalanx that the pre-punic war Romans stole.

Model Year: 2005
A Greek and an Italian were sitting in a Starbuck's one day discussing who had the superior culture.
Over triple lattes the Greek guy said, "Well, we have the Parthenon."
Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replied, "We have the Coliseum."
The Greek retorted, "We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics."
The Italian, nodded agreement, and said, "But we built the Roman Empire."
And so on and so on, until the Greek came up with what he thought would end the discussion. With a flourish of finality he said, "We Greeks invented sex!"
The Italian replied, "That is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women."

Uh... you need to relax. I have been to NYC more than I care to admit. Parking is ALWAYS an issue everywhere you go. If you are not wanting someone's opinion on an issue then perhaps you should not post it. Oh and by the way, I was not born in Texas but I got here as soon as I could. Moved here from Hawaii. I did my homework.

Why would you not care to admit that you've been to NYC? Most people after coming here talk about it for the rest of their lives.

Right! I don't mind paying when I pull in a Range Rover, but this is obviously a luxury tax some lot owner decided to impose on unwitting tourists from Texas.
I happen to keep an office on the block and don't appreciate the special treatment.

I just came back. $39.00 for a little over an hour!!??!! 
Good thing my company's paying for this. I was tempted to ask whether that was the lease price or finance, lol.
Oh, and the attendant had the balls to ask for a tip, hahahaha good one buddy.

Yup, sounds right. Add the $15 on top at the a-holes across the street from me. Its not even an indoor garage.
As for tipping, you really have to if you intend to park there again. Its not like Paco has a vested interest or profit sharing in the lot, but he IS the guy driving your car.
Oh well, thats the price of living/working in the city. We can always move to Texas, I hear there's plenty of parking.
(I just cant help myself, its like comedic turrets syndrome)
