I park my car, immediately hop out, and walk straight over to the kiosk to pay for my parking. Standard routine, right?
I tap the screen, swipe my card, and grab my printed receipt. But as I turn around to walk back to my car—paid ticket literally in hand—I see a meter enforcement officer already slapping a violation ticket on my windshield. 🤦♂️
I was gone for maybe 90 seconds! I ran up holding my proof of payment like, "Hey, I was just at the machine!" but the damage was already done. Talk about lightning-fast ninja skills used for pure evil. 🙄 Let's hope the city dispute office enjoys looking at the identical time stamps on both of these receipts.
🤔 Has anyone else ever been ticketed WHILE actively trying to pay for their spot, or do I just have catastrophic luck?
