So I parked at the meter today (because I was feeling lazy and not so much like walking clear across campus to my Biology class). Thinking ahead, I stuffed four quarters into my coat pocket as I left my house this morning to cover my 1 hour parking at the meter. When I went to drop my coins in the meter the quarter wouldn't fit.
"For real?!?!" I thought.
I'm not sure if it was just a ghetto parking meter or if the last person who took out the money didn't put it back together correctly, but I didn't have time to try and figure it out. So much for thinking ahead and being ready with my four quarters huh?
I scrounged my coin pocket and had enough nickels and dimes (which were the only alternatives that would fit into the slot) for 48 minutes worth of parking and skipped off to my 50 minute long Biology class, and hoped for mercy from the parking patrol.
Class, over. I stroll back to my car. Sure enough, the meter is blinking that my time has expired....and no ticket!
Yes!
Mercy granted. Thank you!
Lesson learned: I need to carry around more change! haha
