Secret Sunday: Fake Parking Tickets
Sticking with the parking ticket theme… when I was a kid I REALLY wanted to be in law enforcement. I use that term intentionally because secretly, I wanted to be in the secret service. However, being a cop would have been cool , too.
I was so excited about the prospect of being a policeman, that I used to make my own parking tickets. Then I would ride up and down a street near our house, find cars that I thought were illegally parked, and slip one of my hand written tickets under the windshield wipers of the offending cars.
One day a man came out just as I was giving his car a ticket. He got really upset because his car was legally parked. I remember riding away on my bike thinking, "there must be something else bothering him… doesn’t he realise no one is going to make him pay the 25 cents?"
