Today, I had a promo code for a free Redbox movie. Since I knew exactly which movie I wanted, I parked in a handicapped space because it was super close and I was cold. I didn't think anyone would notice, but apparently the cop that parked beside my car did. My free movie cost me $100. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a $105 parking ticket for being in a handicapped space. The lines were covered by snow, and the sign was on the building twenty feet away. FML
Today, I received a $250 ticket when I parked my car, that has the disabled placard, in a handicapped spot at a Wal-Mart. The officer said she watched me get out of the car and walk to store without appearing to be disabled. I'm 59 years old, have a steel rod in my spine and a prosthetic hip. 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, while working as a parking booth attendant, I decided to be nice and give a woman free parking. I said, "Give me a high five and I'll give you free parking, since I already did the paperwork." She said, "I'd rather pay," with a really disgusted look. I also had to redo the paperwork. FML
Today, I went over to get some ice cream. I found a rare parking spot in front of the store, and even had change in my pocket. After feeding the meter, A lady comes up to me and tells me that the meter was free after 8 o'clock. I paid 50 cents for it. I was 50 cents short for my ice cream. FML
Today, I found a great parking spot but I wasn't sure if it was restricted by any means or of I could just park there for free. I asked a police officer walking by and he told me it was alright, only to come back 4 hours later to find a ticket on my windshield. 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 decided to splurge and get valet parking at a fancy restaurant. I got out of the car and gave the man my keys and watched as he slowly backed my car into another car. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Of course it was super close. Handicapped people generally can't get around very well. F their lives if they had to park in a far away normal space because you can't handle twelve seconds of cold.

Wish it were that steep a fine here (Melbourne). It might make more disabled spots available for use by the disabled.

she also deserved it for using redbox to begin with. find yourself a blockbuster and rent movies the good ol fashioned way.

Redbox is fantastic. $1 for 1 night. Why would you pay 5 dollars for 5 nights when you know you'll only watch the movie once or twice while you have it? Unless you're implying that when you rent a movie from blockbuster you watch it every single day that it's in your possession. Redbox saves money, which people need these days.

Or they just shouldn't park in spaces where they're not supposed to. Revolutionary thought, I know.

Fourth. Oh, and YDI. Even if you weren't going to be there long, you still broke the law because you were too selfish to handle a few seconds of cold.

Too bad the ticket wasn't more, you deserve it for being lazy, a handicaped person may have been close.

Today, I was going to get a movie to watch with my grandkids. The only handicapped spot was taken and so I had to park at the end of the lot and walk through the cold. FML

People shouldn't just get handicapped tags because they are old. They should have to have a legit disability

Most elderly people need it because they are unsteady on their feet. Or because they have fallen, broken a hip, and have a hard time walking now. Regardless, to get the handicapped sticker you do need to have your doctor verify a handicap, its just that it is much more common for the elderly to get.

Not an FML. it is more of an f' the handicapped people who actually needed that space. Obviously you were in there longer than you realized and I doubt this is the first time you parked in a handicapped spot. You totally deserved it. No FML for you.

You gambled and lost. YDI.

Even if she won, think of wat some lady in a wheelchair would have to go through because the OP was to effing selfish to walk outside for ten seconds in the cold.

Your life is ******... you clearly are retarded so deserve to be in that space.

Disabled parking is not for the MENTALLY disabled. Only a retard would park in that space and expect to get away with it. Parking FAIL.
