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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

Maybe the idea of sarcasm wasn't the best choice. Sorry Op

Lesson learned: word your questions correctly. You can't just ask if you are able to, of course you COULD. You should have asked if you would get a ticket if you parked there. Might have saved you money.

I agree. Where I'm from this is how we talk when we're amongst friends. The Queen's English is usually reserved for more formal settings.

Sounds like an easy dismissal to me. It said mon-fri, you parked on a Saturday. Doesn't matter which cop wrote it, they were dumb for doing so.

you will notice that bylaw officers and parking enforcent is a lot more anal than a traditional cop, the orig cop prob left not giving a **** while rent a cop gets a hard on writing you up

She never said you wouldn't get a ticket

Honestly it may not be her fault. Where I work I work a traffic job and get blamed for giving tickets all the time, yet it's parking services not me. So even though I said it was ok parking services doesn't care...could be a similar situation.

the words the cop said "I could" probably meant that "as a cop they could" not meaning that "you could"..

First of all: 10 minutes is not "briefly". Second: You ask a cop if you can break the law, because you are too lazy. And then you're surprised you get a ticket ? LOOL :D
