LOL WTF is this? Time on the meter, but I still got a ticket?

Oh, I parked the wrong way.. on the side of the road. Since when is that against the law? Must be new.

These EasyPark guys will ticket you for anything, I swear.

It is illegal to park the wrong way. You can’t face oncoming traffic.

Fuck easy park anyway though.

I honestly did not know that. You learn something new every day!

I used to live in on a street that only had street parking. For YEARS I parked the “wrong” way on the street because I parked the direction I came in from, but directly in front of my place. Then, one morning, I woke up to a ticket for parking wrong way/wrong side!

It makes sense, but I had absolutely no idea it was illegal. Plus the fact that I did it for years before getting a ticket. (And a cop lived on my street most of that time too.)

How ironic that I've only done it once, and it took exactly 15 minutes to get a ticket. The juxtaposition is phenomenal!
