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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

You deserved it. Nothing else to say, really.

#140: It's $250 where I live in Illinois. Sadly enough, that's still not high enough to keep inconsiderate assholes from taking the spots. I think it should be a minimum of $5000 and a license suspension.

To whoever said that about being able to navigate around big malls and such, you see, the thing with having the ability to do that, is that once inside, there are usually chairs or benches scattered about. Or hell, a person can sit on the floor if need be! Can't very well just sit down in the parking lot, can you? lol Handicapped people don't drive? Oopsie! I've been handicapped my whole life and been driving for 11 years now! I want to know where the handicapped spots are always open? I rarely just pull in to a parking lot and find one open. All too often, I go park at the other end of the lot, b/c I have to have room to let my ramp down and get my wheelchair off of it.

You TOTALLY deserve it. Leave the handicapped spaces for the handicapped and be THANKFUL you're able to walk to your destinations without any difficulty.

@WTFisthiscrap, you can just as easily sit on the ground of a parking lot as you can sit on the floor of a store. Also, I'm willing to bet money that you're not actually handicapped.

I hope you break your effing spine. Maybe then you'd see why people with disabilities need special parking spaces. Not only is it closer to the entrance, but it's larger than non-reserved parking spaces (as people who use wheelchairs need that extra space). And many disabled people (such as polio survivors) are much more sensitive to cold than you probably are. So get over your sense of entitlement to things you don't actually deserve whatsoever. Axelkg, I hope you know that disabled people aren't mythical creatures and we actually can type comments on the Internet. Just like you! How amazing. Idiots.

I do not think polio survivors drive.

Explain why I drive, then. Also, your reply is a non sequitur. I never said polio survivors drive; even if it's absolutely impossible for us, can't we have other loved ones to drive us?
