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

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.

Today, I had a promo code for a free Redbox movie and I knew exactly which movie I wanted. I was driving in the parking lot and noticed somebody with a non-handicap license plate had taken a handicap spot. Unfortunately, I'm handicapped and all other spots are taken. My first day outside in months is ruined. FML. YDI for being a jackass

Why not just pull up to the curb and park there for ten seconds? I see people do that all the time. YDI. Very yes.

Wow. You had to know it was cold outside. It's called BUNDLING UP before you leave. Sure it may be balls cold out, but your the idiot who was freaking lazy. And this is why they call America lazy. Thanks for sticking to the stereotype

You were cold? Man up and get a jacket. Handicapped people actually need those spaces. If you didn't want to park farther away and you're healthy, imagine what it would be like if you couldn't walk on one leg and you had to take that farther spot because all the handicapped spaces were full.

I didn't realise that being cold was as bad as being handicapped. Oh, it isn't? Shouldn't park in that space then should you?

YDI ; you couldn't just walk there? Like you not handicap , as I look at it your a guy that is to lazy to walk because it's "cold" ( how long have you lived here ? ) and probably has nothing else to do but watch a movie.
