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
Collection
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.

You deserved it. Nothing else to say, really.

<p>Being disabled myself and living with other disabled people, come on, don't be an asshole. ME and my stepdad don't 'look' disabled, but it gets pretty ******* painful to walk long distance. Wear a goddamn jacket.</p>

There's a wonderful invention called the internet, and on the internet, you can check the weather in your town and if it's extremely cold outside, you can keep warm before going outside by putting on other wonderful inventions known as hats, coats, gloves and scarves. You deserve everything that happened to you, being cold is not a disability and it sure as hell doesn't give you the right to park in a handicap spot, even if you're just going in and out. If you can't handle walking through 5-20 seconds of cold weather after parking in a regular spot to get into a store that's probably blasting their heat on high, and you actually live in Colorado, you should consider saving your pennies to move out of the state. What, do you think that people who are actually disabled can't feel cold too? That's one reason why the spots are so close, because for some people depending on their disability, the amount of time you would've taken to get into the store from a regular parking space might be the same amount of time it would take for a disabled person to get into the store from a handicapped space. I hope you learned your lesson from this experience.

In addition to my previous comments, I would also like to point out that your movie didn't cost you $100 at all, your laziness, selfishness, and stupidity all cost you $100. Your movie was still free, was it not? And the money you owed was to pay off the ticket, not for the movie because it was free, so how the hell did the movie cost you $100 if you got it from a free code? I also love how you try to justify why you parked in the handicapped space by giving the most pathetic reasons why you did it. You're pathetic and like I said in my last comment, I hope you learned your lesson. Also like how other people said, you should be lucky you just got a $100 ticket and that you didn't get towed.
