Today, I walked ten miles to pick up my car from the towing station. Turns out there was enough change for the parking meter in the glovebox after all. FML

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, my car was towed. After taking a cab all the way to the lot for $45 and paying the $250 fee to get my car back, my car broke down in the impound lot and needed to be towed to the nearest shop, where it took another $200 to fix, and $50 for the towing. I still have a 3-hour drive home. FML
Today, I was so broke, I couldn't come up with enough change to pay the parking meter at my job. FML
Today, my truck got towed after being parked for ten minutes, even though wasn't in a no parking area. Now I have to pay 500 dollars to get it out of impound. 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
Today, I parked my car in a garage that cost $13 for every 10 minutes past 10 o'clock. When I came back to the garage at 10, I had forgotten where I parked it and spent an hour looking for it. I paid $78 to lose my car. FML
Today, after my car died a mile from my house, I huffed, puffed and pushed it back to my house off the street, so I wouldn't get a ticket overnight. After getting it towed to the shop in the morning, I got a call telling me they put gas in it for me and it starts up fine now. FML
Today, I paid $125 to get my car back after it was towed. Yesterday, I bought the car. When I got it to my apartment, the office wasn't open, so I couldn't get a parking decal. The same office that towed my car while they were still closed. FML
Today, I ran out of gas while driving, and had to call a tow truck. I drive a tow truck. 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

No, the towing guys planted that change in your car just to **** with your mind. You are just gullible enough to fall for it.

Maybe you should have checked your car better before you parked without paying the parking meter.

paying a parking meter is cheaper than paying for an impounded car

Maybe you can walk to coin star next and cash it all in for impounding fees.

On the up side, you're not in Christchurch, and therefore it wasn't parked in the Central City there (pretty much the only place with parking meters), and thusly, it was not crushed by a falling building.

SO made up, that one. there is no place 10 miles(we use km's in auckland) away from a towing station, and if u did get towed away from a far off place then there's no place where u have to pay and display.... lame!!
