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.

To everyone who says that the handicap spots are never full or need to be used, I have a question. Are you sitting in the parking lot watching for when those spots are being used 24/7? Are you monitoring handicap spot usage? I doubt it. You just notice when you're looking for a spot yourself, and therefore your observations aren't valid. So sit down and shut up.

Actually, I've lived in front of a Walmart store, and not being able to get outside and getting bored, I did watch the parking lot a bunch of hours. And most of the time (except some paydays), disabled parking spots were.. empty.

I do not just notice when I'm looking for a spot for myself. I notice when I'm walking across the parking lot. Or when I'm driving past one and looking out the window. Or walking past a parking lot on foot. Or when I'm waiting inside the building and waiting for something and looking out the window. Or when I'm waiting for a ride from someone else and have nothing to do but stare at the parking lot. Or when I'm waiting for someone else in my car to get out. Obviously I'm not watching every parking lot in the world at every moment of every day, but I do actually pay attention to those things when I am around places because I have handicapped friends and family. I have never seen a lot that had no open handicapped places.

#2: "You deserved it. Nothing else to say, really." I think there's one more thing to say actually: What a dick.

Handicapped parking spots are for the physically handicapped, not the mentally handicapped like the OP. It makes no difference if the spots sit empty all day because by law they are meant to be used by the handicapped when they need them. It doesn't matter if you're only going to be a few minutes or not, if you are able bodied and do not have any legally recognized handicapped symbol on your vehicle you are still breaking the law. The ticket is fully deserved.

you have some nerve! Of course you got a ticket! The handicapped space is for, duh, people who are actually handicapped, not for lazy wanktards like yourself. Maybe you should apply for one of those handicapped stickers since you have the mental capabilties of a Neanderthal!

No, that would be insulting to the physically disabled. I wholeheartedly agree with the rest of your post though.

Why would you ever park in a handicap spot when you are not handicapped? Laziness & selfishness are character flaws not handicaps. Karma's goin' to get you.

I am handicapped. it pisses me off when I'm inconvenienced by some stupid lazy **** who's only going to be a little while or is sitting there waiting for someone to come out of the store. Fine should be higher.
