She asked if "this was my car" and pointed to my vehicle. Because I read this blog, I figured it was too late, and didn't argue. I said "I put money in the meter, it's still going". And she said "Sweetie, it's not the meter, it's street cleaning, that's why nobody's parked here"<br /><br />I figured it was too late, so I stood there for a moment, then politely asked, "Is it too late?"<br /><br />"I'm telling you to get out of here!" She was very generous with me. I was totally prepared to calmly accept the ticket. This blog makes me always remember that you guys are just doing your jobs.<br /><br />She was still in the process of ticketing the car behind me, so I turned out okay.Ezrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18249055675517672157noreply@blogger.com
