Today, I drove to my university to pick up forms and books. When I parked at 2:58 there was 30 mins on the meter. I returned at 3:32 only to find a parking ticket issued at 3:31. The worst part is, the books were not available until next week and I could've got the forms online. FML

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 found out that a single unpaid parking ticket from September put my student account on hold and unregistered me from all my spring classes. I'm a senior and this is my last semester. FML

Today, I went to pay my vehicle registration in person to avoid paying the $10.00 online service fee. After a long wait, I came out to find a $15.00 parking ticket on my car. FML

Today, the first day of school, I went to the book store to purchase my textbooks. Not only did I wait for 30 minutes, but they didn’t even have my books in stock. I was advised to visit another campus 45 minutes away. They didn’t have it either. I have assignments due already. FML

Today, I went downtown to pay my speeding ticket. After standing in line and arguing with a rude woman behind the desk, I get back to my car only to find an expired meter and a parking ticket. I got a ticket while paying my ticket. FML

Today, I left 20 minutes early for school to get a good seat in class. I sat in traffic for 20 minutes before I even got on the thruway and for another 25 minutes once I got off the exit for school. Then I couldn't find parking at my university. I missed class. FML

Today, I parked my car, went to pay for my spot, and returned to my car only to find a parking violation ticket tucked under the windshield wipers. This all happened in less than a minute. FML

Today, I dropped my car keys down the elevator shaft at my dorm. I had parked my car at a parking meter, and now had no way to get change out of my car. It took six hours for someone to get my keys, and I now have a $75 parking ticket. FML

Today, I searched for free parking near my work for 30 minutes, trying to avoid paying $12 at a pay lot. I scored a spot, but 1 mile away from the office. I trekked through rain, cold, and got to work late. It was a long hard day, crawled back to my car, and had a $30 ticket on my windshield. FML

#9, seriously? First of all what he did was stupid, secondly the fact that the girlfriend got it on camera is even worst! "Funny as hell" can get him arrested for assaulting an officer. Hilarious.

so basically you were too tight to add a few more minutes to the 30 mins someone else had left on, and then came back late? you totally deserved it, even if it was a shit trick to give you a ticket two minutes after it ran out.

Can't have got far in 1 minute. I'd find him and stick the ticket down his throat. 3 minutes = bullshit call.

I'd have just dropped in another quarter into it beforehand.

Calm down. This is FML, not C-SPAN. No need to be an upright citizen here. Meter fairys (around my campus anyway) are worthless pos revenue generators, I would JUMP at the opportunity to smack one of those douches. Not to mention destroy their ticket books, which is a brilliant idea.

FAKE You have roughly 5 minutes after your time expires before you can be issued a ticket. Source: Dad was a cop for 18 years

Cops who hang around for meters to run out are dooshes with nothing better to do. Although u were late and the fine may not have been big, this still sux. Special place in hell for coppers like this!
