I got my first parking ticket a few days ago.
The meter only took quarters, and I only had two of them. It was an unexpected stop, so I hadn't planned on bringing any loose change.
*50 cents = 20 minutes*
After about 34 minutes, I thought to myself: Maybe "METERS ENFORCED BETWEEN [certain hours of day and week]" means that the meters are enforced!
When I returned to my parked vehicle, I discovered a little white slip of paper tucked beneath my right windshield. I was charged $10 for an EXPIRED METER, which I promptly mailed to the 'governing authorities' of the university whose parking tax I had foolishly put to the test.
Life lesson: Don't put "the law" to the test. And keep many quarters in your car.
