Transportation: Today, I parked my convertible in the 5 minute bay at the post...

Today, I parked my convertible in the 5 minute bay at the post office. When I came back out I noticed a bum in the front seat pretending to drive it. After shouting at him and pulling him out, he stumbled off. I was then slapped with a ticket for being parked longer than 5 minutes. 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, after I arrived at work, somebody crashed into my parked car and left a big dent. The impact pushed my car up onto the curb and I got a parking ticket. FML

Today, I took my parking permit off my car to debate a ticket that I got for not having my permit displayed. Twenty minutes later, when I got back to my car, I had another ticket on my window for not having my parking permit displayed because I was using it to disprove the first ticket. FML

Today, I got a parking ticket because I was too busy singing along to my music to notice that I'd overstayed the time limit on the quick stop parking space. FML

Today, I was looking for a parking spot and finally found one. Trying to figure out if the spot was legal, I asked a cop that had pulled up. He said it was fine. I came back 3 hours later to a parking ticket. FML

Today, I gave my friend a ride to town so she wouldn't have to pay the $10 to park. While waiting to pick her up, I grabbed a bite to eat. Upon returning to my car, I found a $55 parking ticket on my windshield. FML

Today, the police gave me a ticket for obstructing a loading bay as the vehicle "was not parked within the loading bay markings". I couldn't get the vehicle fully into the loading bay because there was a police vehicle in the way. FML

well obviously if the poster was parked in the five minute zone he wouldn't bother to put his top up. im sure he does if hes going to park somewhere for an hour or so...but why would anyone waste their time putting their top up in a five minute zone? That would waste one minute of the only five he has. duh.

No, you didn't 'realise'. You 'saw' or you 'noticed'. Becoming aware of something in front of you is not a realisation. Also, as an Australian, learn to spell it correctly.

Mmm 'realize' is the American spelling. I prefer realise for some reason though... (being American) But then again, I spell it 'realization'. Weird.

"Becoming aware of something in front of you is not a realisation." The dictionary disagrees. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Realize (3) to conceive vividly as real : be fully aware of Becoming fully aware of something is not an example of becoming aware of something? Really, now - if you're going to be a vocabulary Nazi, then know what you're talking about before you talk about it.

Regardless, "realized" was used poorly in this FML.

I don't believe this one. If the ticket person was there to give you a ticket, they would have been there to see what you had to deal with, and I doubt they would have given you a ticket for that. BS.
