a ticket

so, today i got a parking ticket.

here's the story: i was at graphic art class and the stamp design i was trying to save was taking a really long time. i was really nervous because i knew that i had put two hours into the parking meter and it had now been two hours exactly. the moment i finished saving my design, i raced down the stairs, out the door, and to my car. there, i found a parking meter guy writing a ticket in front of my car. he said, "is this your car?" and i replied, out of breath, "yes. but i swear, the meter must have run out two minutes ago." he just handed me the ticket. ok, i've never received a ticket for anything. so naturally i was mortified. i cried for fifteen minutes, it's a wonder that i didn't get into a car crash. i wonder why he didn't let me off the hook, i seriously missed it by a minute. jerk...
