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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

As someone handicapped by arthritis, people like you sicken me. I've had my time wasted more times than I can count by self-entitled twatwaffles like you. How you could possibly think being cold is worth being that childish is beyond me. Some poor handicapped person was probably in pain AND cold after that. I hope you're cold and handicapped the rest of your life. :] ETA: I reused a lot of words. XD

Being the owner of a handicap sticker I really hate when people do that. Yeah you may have only been a few minutes or whatever, but remember your parking there takes up the only spot some of us can use. I have had to drive away from places because people 'quickly' parked in the only place I can park. These parks are not only closer to help those who can;t walk far and to minimize any dangers to those who are slow or in wheelchairs to get to their place safely but also wider so we can get our wheelchairs out. We can't just park in those small space and pull out and assemble a wheelchair so therefore can not go shopping if you take our parks when you don't need it.

That's what you get for being a self-entitled douche bag who thinks that rules apply to everyone else EXCEPT YOU.

maybe you need someone to run over both your legs with a car and survive and be physically disabled then maybe you'll understand that some jackass like you would know what it would feel like with no parking space avaible to them. hope you pay your fines late so you can pay higher.

I did this many times. Is that mean I'm retarded too? I live in China...

No, the fact that you said 'Is that mean' does. The fact you did that many times makes you an inconsiderate douchebag. Accessibility is already horrible in China to begin with.
