Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. FML

Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML

Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML

Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML

Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML

Today, after work, I peeled a parking ticket off my windshield. It was so hot that the ink from the ticket made a stamp on my windshield. Now I have a permanent reminder staring me in the face wherever I drive. FML

Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML

Today, I took my parking permit off my car to debate a ticket that I got for not having my permit displayed. Twenty minutes later, when I got back to my car, I had another ticket on my window for not having my parking permit displayed because I was using it to disprove the first ticket. FML

Seems like someone needs to learn how to park in the right places.

Next time, make sure you park somewhere where u can't be ticketed or towed!

Possibly, the spot wasn't marked and whatever council are just money hungry revenue raisers. This is the case with more than one ticket,

I found that you have to take another person with you to pay for a ticket just to keep the meter with time on it. They have meters that don't give enough time and when you need to feed a meter every hour with a line of at least an hour you don't have time to get in and out in time to avoid another ticket. The parking people aren't genius's but that's simple economics, keep supply low and demand high. Then there is always the slow service and even though they have 6 - 10 windows there are normally only two tellers.

Not sure if YDI or if it sucks to be you. if you just didn't learn your lesson the first time then you deserve it but I once had to go to court over a broken headlight and the only parking was meters which only went up to 2hrs. Court lasted 6hrs and they wouldn't let me leave to put change in my meter so I got a parking ticket. If it's like my case FYL
