Today, I went to pay my vehicle registration in person to avoid paying the $10.00 online service fee. After a long wait, I came out to find a $15.00 parking ticket on my car. 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 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 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

This is fine

Today, I got a $60 parking ticket for not paying the $2.50 pay-to-park fee. I checked my bank records, which proved that I'd paid the fee, for the correct space too. The problem is the fine is too small to contest in traffic court. FML

Today, my roommate and I finally went to the DMV to transfer our vehicle ownership title to our names. On our way out, we joked that we were now responsible for any violations involving our car. We came back to a $35 parking ticket. FML

Pay up

Today, I got a bill for $62.70 because my company gave my last work car to some idiot who doesn't like to pay the toll road fees. They never took me off the registration. FML

Today, I searched for free parking near my work for 30 minutes, trying to avoid paying $12 at a pay lot. I scored a spot, but 1 mile away from the office. I trekked through rain, cold, and got to work late. It was a long hard day, crawled back to my car, and had a $30 ticket on my windshield. FML

That sucks but come on you had to pay for the gas to get down there anyways so shoulda paid the extra ten rather then using up more gas to pay in person

OP, you're lucky your ticket was only $15. Quit whining and pay it; you wouldn't have received the ticket if you didn't deserve it.

OP sucks to be you... But its only $15, not a big deal... Next time follow the rules, they are there for reasons... Who knows maybe next time you will get like a $250 ticket plus get your car towed...

I think people may be missing the point of this one. If the DMV in Iowa is anything like the DMVs in MD (actually, in all of the states I've lived in, so WV, TN, IN, MA, & MD), OP just went through a ton of extra frustration to pay an extra $5. That sucks. Personally, I'd pay both fees combined to avoid the DMV any day.

Yeah I hate the DMV. The day I got my license I was waiting I line for over 4 hours. Never want to go back.
