A meter maid?
Is it a thing in Lakewood? This sounds like a profession, even as society might need some so that we all find a place to park, is based on walking around and annoying people for less than a perutah. Not sure who chooses this job. Seems worse than proverbial Roman-time tax collector. And it takes over a person. I once put a quarter into someone’s meter right before a metermaid prpared to write a ticket, and she gave me ayn hara for taking her parnosa away.
