Elaboration of No. 7 on the I Hate New Zealand Top Ten, as requrested by Yankee842

New Zealand fines you for everything. There is nowhere to park your car. Everywhere is paid parking. If you have paid to park there for half an hour, one minute past that time and the parking warden is there to give you a $20-$40 fine depending on their arrogance. You get fined for paying bills one day late, an extra 10% gets added on to the total bill. You get fined for going 1km over the …

…fines and costs added on to your water bill for that. I am just scraping the surface here. I am only 20 and have not yet been exposed to the millions more fines that are waiting around the corner, I'm hoping to leave before I find out. This is New Zealand, the land of endless non-opportunity, suppression, oppression and aggression. The land where the government takes a hammer to squash the ants that are its people.
