I’m going to give this chap the benefit of the doubt.

When you pay for two hours of parking you don’t expect to be fined £25 when you return twenty minutes before the ticket runs out.

And, as far as I can tell, the council don’t have a leg to stand on.

Nottingham Post: Driver returns to his car after 6 o’clock, to find out he’s fallen for the old “Ah-ha! Daytime parking ends at 6pm, and you needed to buy another ticket” scam

But you see, while the council’s – frankly – mahoosive sign laying out the terms and conditions say that evening parking starts at 6pm, there is nothing to indicate that daytime tickets expire at that time.

 

Go on, click through to the story, where the parking sign is reproduced in its full eye-watering glory. There’s nothing there to say day tickets expire automatically at six, so SHUT UP.

Also, nice jumper. I’ve got one just like that, with a slight pasta stain on one shoulder. Long story.

And here are some more people who have been made angry by parking.

This chap got a parking ticket while clearing his parking bay of snow. Sucks to be him.

This woman is upset because she got a parking ticket for parking on the Keep Clear sign painted across her drive. It’s there to stop other people parking across her drive. Sucks to be her.

This man also got a parking ticket for leaving his car across his own drive. But he’s an estate agent, so who cares?
