Today, I wasn't sure whether it was past the time when they stopped giving out parking tickets. I checked the meters on either side of my car, and both were expired, so I figured I was good. I came back out to all three of us having tickets. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML
Today, I rushed back to my car, as the parking meter was about to expire. I got fined by the police for jaywalking, which allowed just enough time for the parking meter to expire, and to get a fine for that too. I probably would have made it in time if I just walked calmly. FML

There should be a sticker on the meter that tells you between which times you need to pay. Don't give by whether the meter has time on it or not.

Always pay, never assume you won't get ticketed.

You should sue the drivers of the other two cars to pay your ticket, saying they conspired to confuse you into not feeding the meter. Call Alex Jones and he’ll figure it out.
