Today, at work as a meter maid, I had a man scream at me. He had a handicapped license plate on his 3-wheel motorcycle and said he could "park in any handicapped spot and not have to pay the meter". He wouldn't believe he was wrong, even after the police chief backed me up. FML
kdragonrose tells us more.
Op here. To clarify, I did NOT give this jerk a ticket for parking in the handicapped spot. He got the ticket for not paying the meter. Handicapped parking meters in my area are painted blue. He cussed me out because he felt having a handicapped license plate entitled him to not have to pay the meter. I told him "why would they have a meter there if you didn't have to pay it. It's even painted blue?" He continued to cuss at me, so I called the police chief who told the man he was wrong. Ps: a first violation parking ticket in my town costs $3. He cussed me out all this time over a $3 parking ticket.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Tell him that if handicapped people didn't have to pay for the meter, there wouldn't be one there in the first place.

That's not what this was about. It was about him thinking he didn't have to pay because he was handicapped.

No, you were wrong; he was able to park there, as he was mentally disabled

Let the customer park wherever he wants, without paying. And let the good police officer do his duty. It's some kind of natural selection.. u_u

Actually, it is illegal to charge for handicap. If you park in a handicap spot, and you are handicapped, he is correct.
