For Ruining My Weekend

It's one thing to get a $25 ticket for an expired meter. It sucks, but what can you do? You were parked at a meter, that is expired. It's an entirely different thing, however, to get a $40 ticket for parking at a meter (that you've paid), facing the wrong direction.

Yes, that's right, I thought I was parking on a one-way street this morning, with meters lining the left side. I found out the hard way this afternoon that it was indeed a two-way street, and I was parked illegally.

So I decided to let the Treasurer of Arlington County know exactly just what the check I wrote him was "For".
