in my city a couple of times a year the city will put out "no parking" signs on my street for leaf clearing but you never know when the actual leaf clearing will happen and if you call the city they don't know either. So they could put out the signs on a Thursday but they might not come until the following Thursday but if you are there when they come they will write you a big ticket and possibly tow your car. Bureaucracies are stupid.

Yeah, I am not convinced it is all stupid. I think there is some power tripping malice in the mix.
they are quite rude and dismissive when you press them about when they are coming to tow cars and sweep leaves.
Well if they TELL you how do you expect the tow truck guy to make his money so he can give them their kickback? Be reasonable...
the city also hits you with a big fat ticket when they have you towed, I was parked at the school I worked at and they actually put out the signs after I was parked there in the morning and wrote everyone tickets! Luckily all the teachers complained so they took away the tickets without me really having to do much. One time they hit me with a parking ticket in my own driveway and I was unable to beat that one!
