I should have probably just kept my car and that space since I already had a ticket on the window
It’s hard to find parking at work, because I work in the city. There is a small parking lot for employees, but it fills up very quickly, especially on the weekends when there is a full crew. There are only spots for twelve cars. Between the manager and the dispensary employees, those spots fill up fast. Last weekend I decided to park in the space in front of the marijuana dispensary. It was open because there is no parking in that space after 9. I planned to move my car at 9, so I wouldn’t get a ticket. Unfortunately for me, I lost track of time and didn’t run outside to move my car until it was exactly 9. There was a meter maid standing next to my car. She was writing me a traffic ticket. I told the woman that I worked at the marijuana dispensary. She didn’t seem to care at all. I told her that I was moving my car to a different spot now. I got stuck at work. It was only one minute past 9. The meter maid didn’t care at all about my excuses. She wrote me a $75 ticket for being parked in the space illegally. I moved my car down the street. I had to drive three blocks and walk back and I still got a ticket for being parked illegally. I should have probably just kept my car and that space since I already had a ticket on the window. It’s so frustrating to work in the city and drive a car. I really need to start taking the metro instead.
