Today, during my fourth solo day working as a meter-maid, I had a vehicle towed for being parked in front of a fire hydrant. The vehicle belonged to the governor. I'm scared to even show my face at work next week. FML

Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML

Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML

Today, I got a call from a police department saying that if I didn't move my car from a store's parking lot within the next 15 minutes, they were going to tow it and charge me for the fee. I was at work and the reason I parked it there is because it started smoking and almost caught fire. FML

Today, my car was towed for the second time in front of my own house. They tried to tell me it was because they didn't think I lived there anymore. The person who had it towed had just spoken to me not three hours before. FML

Today, I dropped off a box for my sister at her job. In a rush, I unknowingly parked in a reserved spot. When I got back to my car, I saw that my car was being towed. After successfully flirting myself out of an expensive towing bill, I backed into the pole behind me, leaving a noticeable dent. FML

Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML

Today, when I arrived to a prospective customer's home to give her a shower replacement estimate, a sheriff pulled up behind me and arrested said customer. I drove a 3-hour round trip to this appointment. FML

It's tough to make calls like that! You made the right choise though because if they make a law for you to inforse it applys to them to! They aren't just ammune to everything because they have some power!

Let the governor sort it out with the impound lot.

Why are you scared? He isn't above the law and should know better. If he gets pissed or fires you, then he's a dick.

Why wouldn't you have it towed? What do you think the governor is better than anyone else, and above the law? The city (AKA taxpayers) will probably pay for it anyway, in our corrupt, political system.

No one is above the law. You did your job.

You did the right thing. Equal treatment for all. If there had been a fire the car would still have been in the way, so bravo! You did your job correctly, with the proverbial judicial blindfold.

Don't be ashamed, you were just doing your job. Even the governor has to obey the law. He should be glad there are people who take their job seriously.

You did your job, it doesn't matter who the car belongs to, if it's parked illegally then oh well. The governor may think he's above the law, screw him you showed him he's not.
