Scott and SadieIf you ask someone about the DUMBEST PARKING TICKET they’ve received . . . you’re bound to hear some stories. But this guy probably has EVERYONE beat.
A man in Montreal is fighting a parking ticket that his daughter got in front of their home on April 1st. And it’s so bad it SHOULD be an April Fools’ Day prank.
Early in the morning, the city installed signage for a BRAND NEW bus stop in front of the man’s house. The sign is actually in his front lawn. The crew finished up at about 7:55 A.M.
Then, just 10 MINUTES after the sign was put up, parking enforcement came by and gave his daughter a parking ticket for her car blocking the bus stop.
But her car was there overnight, before the bus stop even existed.
The man says they were given no advance warning about the bus stop coming, so there’s no way they could’ve known that they wouldn’t be able to park there.
The city agrees . . . they say they never update property owners about their 10,000 bus stops . . . but the ticket will not be reversed. They say once a ticket is written, there’s nothing they can do. (???)
The man is contesting this madness, but he’s annoyed that he has to spend his time and energy on something so stupid.
