What would it take for you to become a Traffic Warden?

A friend of mine has just informed me that she is going to be a traffic warden, and I almost instantly lost all respect for her and couldn't contain my impulse to let her know what I thought about her decision. It was involuntary outburst that made me think...

...What would it take for me to become a traffic warden?

£40,000 a year might do it. But I would still feel like an absolute knob while doing it. And not really do my job properly.

Had a mate do it for about 2 weeks. He was 6ft 2, 23 stone, looked like a mean bastard, I once watched him roundhouse a kickbag ripping the wall brackets out..... he could handle himself.

He jacked it in after two weeks because he said it was only a matter of time before he had a gun pulled on him he got that much aggro, and it wasn't worth it for the wage.

So yeah, would take at least a licence to carry a firearm just in case!!

A proper yellow top traffic warden wouldn't be so bad so I'd consider it. They get a fair bit of stick but they do do a useful job.

One of the private wardens? Never, no amount of money would ever persuade me to do that job, they are dicks of the first order who go out of their way to ticket cars.

As a yellow top, they seem more concerned with the flow of traffic as opposed to the flow of revenue, for the most part anyway.

In reality, I think I'd really enjoy it. I'd be the most pedantic, power mad arsehole ever to wander the streets .


If I wasn't giving up a research career that I enjoy I'd do it for any reasonable salary and something to beat offenders with.

Traffic wardens perform a valuable public service. If they didn't exist driving or parking anywhere in town would be a free-for-all and the roads would be unusable.

You wouldn't catch me doing it. I'm not anal or thick-skinned enough. But I'm happy someone does.

Private health care, have my pelvis fixed and other injuries sorted out so I could walk about without pain, and of course a good salary. And an undercover outfit...then I'd definitely consider it.

If I couldn't get another job and hadn't won the lottery then I'd have no issues doing it. Keeping my roof over my head is my number 1 priority.
