Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my car to discover a note on the windshield from the city telling me that they had hit my car. On top of that note was a parking ticket, also from the city. 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 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, 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 got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML
Today, after work, I peeled a parking ticket off my windshield. It was so hot that the ink from the ticket made a stamp on my windshield. Now I have a permanent reminder staring me in the face wherever I drive. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket. I put the ticket in my bag and accidentally left the bag in my friends car. When I returned, the car window was smashed, my bag was gone. I had to call the police department and ask them to send me a new ticket, on top of the $1000 or so I'd already lost. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket while standing beside my car. 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

Seems like someone needs to learn how to park in the right places.

When you go back to City Hall to pay the second ticket, don't go back to your truck. That was your mistake the first time!

Pretty much, yeah, it's in the rules. The good news for you is the oil industry is looking for douchebags who can deny obvious truth.

Now that's just rude. And when did you become a "we're killing the planet, lets all live like the 3rd world" global warming conspiracy theorist?

41- We are killing the world... Also you don't have to act like 3rd world country, advances in technology can replace the need for harmful things such as oil.

#41, I've always been that way, even when I was working in the oil industry, except the "let's live in the third world" part. We can use resources much more wisely and not lower our quality of life. #45 is right, and if we take the initiative to develop sustainable forms of energy, we will maintain the strongest economy in the world. If with stick with fossil fuels, we will become a third-world country.

I'm sorry, that's just bad luck. Maybe you should try to pay attention to where you park next time. :) I wish you the best of luck!

I know in some carparks you do have to leave your car to pay for the ticket as soon as you park, then put it on the dashboard. But then again, usually the car is in eye distance from the ticket machine.

I think you're thinking of the wrong type of ticket my friend.

And if there isn't proper or enough parking near city hall - which is very often the case? I feel your pain OP. Stay out of Albany, NY. They keep parking supply artificially low so they can ticket and tow. *It's all about revenue.*

That reads like song lyrics.
