Oh I was upset alright, that ticket cost me the happy hour bar tab that evening...I was very upset
at myself for cheaping out on that 50 cents because I thought I could get back in time. It wasn't even a meter maid that tagged me, I got a nice picture of my car in the mail from the ghost van!
I would've counted myself extremely lucky if they somehow threw out that ticket, which I've tried by filing for an administrative review, to no avail. So now I suck it up and pay the $40.
I'm no bigger than anyone, I get upset about tickets just as easily. I just don't whine about it on a message board expecting sympathy instead of getting flamed for my own ignorance of the law.
