This was a thing in the early 2000s in Sicily when I was stationed there with the Navy. However, being a brash 19-year-old and thinking I was hot shit, I always just ignored them and never suffered any ill effects. It might have been related to my obvious association with the military (although I wasn’t personally intimidating I’m sure), or maybe they’re all bark and no bite there. Perhaps I was just lucky. I think today I’d probably just pay the 2€.
- pas 6y ago3 years ago in Catania we rented a car without insurance. Then after getting into the city from the airport and navigating to the unexpectedly shoddy, dark and cheap neighborhood where our hostel was we found a group of kids offering their services for helping us park the car. There was absolutely no traffic at around 10 PM and though it wasn't just the easiest place for parking it was hardly something that we needed help for. On the first night we paid up, they very diligently guided me while I reversed into a spot, but next night we said we know how to park already thank you. No supervisor showed up, but we were then sweating bullets because what if something happens to the uninsured car! (Nothing happened. Yaay!)
