Recently, I came within millimeters of invoking the Fipi rule. A parking fine from Parkzone had landed in my e-Boks. As everyone knows, a parking fine feels like the most dreadful, most unjust expense on earth. Very few people park illegally on purpose. Which is why parking fines call for a brisk application of Fipi. Fuck it, pay it. Fipi. DKK 985. Forget it. Move on.
