My meter, with one minute left on it, as I found it when I got to my car, finding a ticket left 15 minutes previously for parking with an expired meter. Now I’m caught in Appeals Process Hell with the City of Charlottesville, since City Hall wouldn’t just look at this camera phone snap and agree to tear up the ticket on the spot. This same meter stole $0.75 from me when I fed it 1:59 previously.
[...] I got a parking ticket for no apparent reason today, parking in the metered lot on Water Street, so perhaps I’m just in a bad parking mood. [...]

A pattern may be emerging here. Before the age of bloggery, there was no way to ask a lot of local citizens, “Hey, has this happened to you, too?”
So, has this happened to anyone else?

Oh, wait — that second comment was also from you, via cvillenews.com. So forget what I said about an emerging pattern. I’ll just slink away now.

I paid a meter that had the legal parking times posted inide the meter, only to learn a $100 lesson
that the information posted locally(on the meter) was superseded by a sign 200 yds away and buried
in foliage.
Good luck
