F*** you, Lovely Rita.
At 5:29, I pulled into the perfect parking spot downtown, on the same block as my destination! I glanced into my wallet, and seeing only pennies, ran in to the cookie shop to buy cookies so that I might have change for the meter.
At 5:30 exactly, I put ten cents into the meter, thus buying myself 24 minutes of ticket-free parking time. At 6:00, ticketing stops, so I figured there was no need to put in another coin and overpay.
I was wrong. At approximately 7:07, I went back to my car and was greeted by a small yellow envelope. The time on the ticket contained inside? 5:54. Exactly 24 minutes after I put in my shiny dime.
DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT
That's all. Good evening, dear reader.
