    I saw the beard hair of Mohammed and the sword of king David there by the way! I think they also had the staff of Moses there but it was a little crowded around those stuff :p

    i've gotten two parking tickets in my life i think. not counting ones at my small undergrad college.

    one was in the city, i parked by a no parking sign and didn't notice it when i parked. whoops. i paid the ticket.

    the other was at my current school. i purposefully parking in a fire lane, for about 5 minutes. people do it all the time while still sitting in their car, but since i went inside, i got a ticket. fuck that, i will never pay that ticket. parking at that place is ABSURD and they make plenty of money. i guess i'll also never get a parking permit their either, since that's the only way they can punish me for not paying.

    i'm pretty responsible in my life, but when it comes to parking tickets...if i can get away with not paying, i'm not fucking paying. sorry. it doesn't really have to do with sticking it to the man for me, it has to do with being cheap with my money. i'm not giving it away to learn from my mistakes. if i don't have to.

    The only ticket I got was a parking ticket in the late 70's. I pulled in to a small city parking lot near a store I had to go to. The meter was broken. I put money into the meter and it took my money but gave me no time. It was the only available space in that lot. I was in and out of the store in less than 5 minutes and there was a lady writing up the ticket.

    I told her about putting money in it and that it was broken but she said once she starts writing the ticket she had to finish it. I was standing next to my drivers side door and there was a big puddle between me and where the meter was (in front of the car). I made her step in the puddle to hand me the ticket. (This made me feel better about the whole thing.)

    I am sure I paid it (probably 10 dollars back then). And that was my only time being on the wrong side of the law.

    I got one on a side street in toronto... there was signage, but it was at the other end of the street, so I didn't see it until I left. It was $35 and I just paid it because it wasn't worth a trip to toronto to fight a $35 ticket.

    I got one for parking in front of a school. I pretty much knew you couldn't park there but the only other option was to park on the freakin sidewalk. Anytime theres a spot not taken in the city its probably cuz you can't park there. BTW its pretty tricky to parallel park a 15 foot truck I don't think I could do it without help. Shoulda just said fuck it and parked in front of a fire hydrant to begin with the results would have been the same except for not having to walk so damn far.

    I should have gotten a ticket for parking my meat mobile in an unlit tunnel.

    That's odd. What country are you in? Meat mobile parking in unlit tunnels is not illegal in u.s. As far as I know. Unless you are parking in one that requires that you pay the meter up front.

    Ok, that actually sounds pretty funny, but I do not know what you guys are talking about. What is a meat mobile?

    I didn't know bird_m had such a large meat mobile. Maybe he really should have gotten a ticket.

    LOl, I empathise with policemen having to be proficient with meatmobile legislation.
