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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 got a parking ticket for parking in my neighbors' parking spot. I parked there because my neighbors were parked in my parking spot. 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 got a parking ticket while standing beside my car. FML
Today, I wasn't sure whether it was past the time when they stopped giving out parking tickets. I checked the meters on either side of my car, and both were expired, so I figured I was good. I came back out to all three of us having tickets. FML
Today, I got a parking ticket while I was in the car. I didn't even notice it happen. Ninja cops do exist. FML
Today, I found a parking ticket on my car. Out of five cars who were in violation of the same infraction, I was the only one who received a ticket. FML
Today, I went to city hall to pay for a parking ticket. After returning to my truck, I found a parking ticket on my window. FML
Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML
Today, I got a ticket for parking "illegally." I was waiting for my handicapped dad at the airport and had all the required documents to park as I did while waiting for him. The cop didn't care, and now I have to go through bureaucracy hell to get it cancelled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

had that same thing happen to me. two cops on two separate occasions told me it was ok to park there, even the sign said that you get a fine only if you park north of the sign. I was south of it. I came out of the building as the cop was writing me a ticket. I asked him why he was doing that if he had told me it was ok and the sign backed me up too and he said "its life". after that he called me baby and started to treat me like an idiot because I have a foreign accent. Needless to say I reported his ass, turns out more people had the same problem with him

68: Uh, okay? 81: They get modded when a commentor breaks the posted rules, or does something not technically against the rules but dumb anyway. The big offenders are: calling fake, calling first/last/a number, mentioning a competing website, threadjacking, holding a conversation that ought to be taken to PMs, making offensive statements, and criticizing or insulting the mods or staff.

Officers of the law, can't live em but you can sure live without them. (if you have your own little army that is)

"You can't live with 'em" That shouldn't be hard to figure out yourself.

You ****** up that phrase. Idiots who don't know how to ******* talk. You can't live with them, and you can definately live without them.

You do realize that cops get paid whether or not they write a ticket or not? It's not like they work off commision. Granted, I'm sure they could lose their job if they don't write tickets at all..but it's not like they'd have a hard time writing someone a ticket that actually deserves one, unlike OP. The cop they asked may have accidently answered incorrectly and another cop came along and wrote OP a ticket. People make mistakes. Not all cops are "bad guys" as most people seem to think.
