These parking meter information agents dubbed The Green Team have been hanging around waiting to answer questions about the new pay boxes, but according to the Chicago Tribune, they aren’t seeing much action. So NBC Chicago blogger Andrew Greiner came up with a few of his own

1. Is the “Green Team” paid in quarters?
2. Have you heard more questions or more insults?
3. They say you can’t sit down on the job. Do you eat standing up?
4. Can you tell me why the deal was forced through City Council?
5. Did you see Mick Dumke give it to Ald. Bernie Stone on Chicago Tonight?
6. Where does the “Green Team” park?
7. What’s to stop me from printing my own tickets at home?
8. What happens if I accidentally run into a meter and destroy it?
9. What’s the top parking related question in Chicago?
10. Does Mayor Daley plan to don a green shirt and answer questions, too?

You can add you’re own here.
