Can you believe it?
The parking meter was stuck, tried to put a quarter in & it got stuck, the FAIL message popped up. So we thought, ok, it's legal to park at a failed meter for under 1 hour. Plus, it ate the quarter already.
We go grab some groceries, out in 30 min, and there's the ticket!
The meter "unfailed" itself!!!!!!!
It showed the Expired Time 00:00!! We checked & the meter was still stuck, not taking quarters..but the FAIL message unflipped or something
.
Anyways, now I have to fight a $65 ticket, and hope that justice prevails. Wish me luck. There's no way to prove it, really, but if they check the meter today, they'll see that the coins get stuck.
Seeing as it's NYC, I'm doubtful they care about fairness.
