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!

Its a good thing you had it towed what if there was a fire then his car would have gotten destroyed and you probably would have gotten some sort of repercussion so good for you

Nobody likes meter maids anyway.

You deserved it, i hope you get fired and the governer does away with all meter maids in your state. How does it feel knowing that your life makes absolutely zero contribution to society and if you died tomorrow, the world wouldnt even notice your job remained undone? On the scale of human scum, you rank only slightly above pederasts and thieves!!!!!

And you deserve being called an asshole.

137 - You just took time out to hurl abuse at someone you don't even know via the Internet. How does it feel knowing that your life makes absolutely zero contribution to society?

It wasnt so much the person i was hurling abuse at so much as the job, i really despise meter maids, parking enforcers, really anyone who tells me where or how long i can park in public spaces. Aside from handicap spaces and snow emergencies i think people should be able to where ever they want.

...able to park where ever they want.

No one likes parking enforcement but like everyone else with a shitty job, he/she is just trying to make a living. Shitty job or not, the perks to working for the government isn't something a lot of people turn down if it comes along.

Probably shouldn't have listed your state in the off chance that someone forwards this to the governor.

be sorry when the governor actually does something for his state

Government vehicles have government tags. You're either an idiot or I'm calling a fake.
