Today, I asked a traffic cop if it was okay to park my car briefly in a 'Monday to Friday only' parking spot, since it's Saturday. She politely replied I could. I came back less than ten minutes later, only to find a parking ticket stuck to my windshield. FML

Today, I was pulled over by a cop. He told me one of my lights was busted, and I couldn't help but point out that one of his was out too. He said, "Thanks, I'll get that fixed right away." then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, I was pulled over for speeding and was shocked that the cop asked me out. Before I could respond, he noticed my wedding ring, said "Nevermind" and then gave me a ticket. FML
Today, my car got keyed because I was parked in a handicapped parking spot. I'm handicapped. FML
Today, I received the $30 parking pass that I ordered over 4 weeks ago. My class is only 4 weeks long, and next week is the last week. FML
Today, I arrived at work six minutes late due to heavily congested traffic. This is just two days after my boss put out a memo saying that anyone who's late to work from then until the new year will have their holiday bonus pay forfeited. FML
Today, my boss entrusted me with his car to run an errand, as I usually take the bus. I managed to get there and back safely before someone slammed into me while I was re-entering the lot, causing major damage. It was his wife, who thought I was a car thief. FML
Today, I got lost, and eventually noticed that I'd passed by the same house a few times. Apparently somebody who lives on that street noticed as well, because the next time I passed by, the police were waiting for me. FML
Today, my car broke down. My colleague came to get me and then, later, my husband picked me up from work. We went to collect my abandoned car, but it was gone. It took 10 minutes of me panicking and thinking it had been stolen before he crumpled in laughter and told me he'd already collected it. FML
Today, I got on the bus to go to work. I managed to get a seat, but an old lady who looked tired had to stand. I offered her my seat, but she glared at me, frowned and said, "Go fuck yourself." Everyone laughed as I sat there in dismay. FML
Today, I was driving when I saw someone pulled over on the side of the road. Wanting to help, I pulled over. In so doing, I ran over something that popped my tire. The guy had just pulled over to pee. FML

She said you could park there not that she wouldn't give you a ticket.

OP knew it was illegal before he parked there. He shouldn't have parked there knowing that a traffic cop was around, even if he had the permission from the traffic cop. The cops don't make the rules, they just enforce them.

No it's legal to park there Monday-Friday.. not Saturday. If another cop saw the car they wouldn't know OP had permission to park there.

You know cops are legally allowed to lie to you, right? So you deserve it for trusting one.

Anyone can lie. So can you not trust anyone, ever?
The_Big_Boss 20
Now you're getting it! Don't trust anyone. But the cop will lie just to give you the ticket so he can win a toaster or something at the end of the month for writing so many tickets

So I guess you couldn't park there?

No, she could park there, just like you can jump off a skyscraper, but in O.P's case, I wouldn't advise either.

Maybe 10 minutes wasn't brief enough?

Pretty lame.

You talked to the good cop, but didn't see the bad cop hiding behind the tree. The ol' good cop/bad cop routine is what keeps cities afloat as their tax base crumbles.

She gotta make that quota! Don't hate on her.
KingCeltic77 18
Actually that quota is not true at all. There is not requirement or limit on how many tickets an officer can write.

Maybe the cop meant you CAN park there, if you want a ticket.

Isn't that entrapment?
