Behind the line
What it means

A run of escalating notices turns a routine parking warning into absurdity: deadlines shrink, the car is impounded, then crushed into a cube, and finally the owner is still told to move it. The humour comes from bureaucracy's deadpan insistence continuing after the problem has become impossible.
