Today, during my fourth solo day working as a meter-maid, I had a vehicle towed for being parked in front of a fire hydrant. The vehicle belonged to the governor. I'm scared to even show my face at work next week. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML
Today, I started my first day of work at my new job. They had a section in the parking lot for employees only, so I parked there. Apparently, my boss didn't recognize my car, and had it towed. FML
Today, my boss reported to the police that a suspicious car has been parked outside the store late at night. I walked outside and my car was gone. He had my car towed. FML
Today, I got a call from a police department saying that if I didn't move my car from a store's parking lot within the next 15 minutes, they were going to tow it and charge me for the fee. I was at work and the reason I parked it there is because it started smoking and almost caught fire. FML
Today, my car was towed for the second time in front of my own house. They tried to tell me it was because they didn't think I lived there anymore. The person who had it towed had just spoken to me not three hours before. FML
Today, my car was stolen from the parking garage, the same one I work at as a security guard. FML
Today, I dropped off a box for my sister at her job. In a rush, I unknowingly parked in a reserved spot. When I got back to my car, I saw that my car was being towed. After successfully flirting myself out of an expensive towing bill, I backed into the pole behind me, leaving a noticeable dent. FML
Today, I ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. FML
Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML
Today, when I arrived to a prospective customer's home to give her a shower replacement estimate, a sheriff pulled up behind me and arrested said customer. I drove a 3-hour round trip to this appointment. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's tough to make calls like that! You made the right choise though because if they make a law for you to inforse it applys to them to! They aren't just ammune to everything because they have some power!

Don't worry, it's not like he's actually going to PAY for his car to get removed from the towing grounds...and it's only a minor inconvenience to have his secretary fire you. But in all honesty, out of all people, he should know the law and that it is unacceptable to park there. If he challenges your authority, challenge him back. You are in the right, and no amount of bullshit on his part should pardon him (although we all know it might).

You're doing your job. If someone parks illegaly, THEY are at fault. Why are you afraid of doing the job you are paid to do?

Why worry? You did your job. If there is any retaliation, just go to the papers. The Govenor should know better than that...

just cause it was the governor's car doesn't it still wasn't against the law. and there's no punishment that the Governor could give for doing your job. he's not aloud to punish people just cause he doesn't like them.
