Did you ever do something so stupid you just knew someone saw it? Like tonight, as I was going back to my car after doing the grocery shopping (homo-domesticus) and found a parking inspector going through the carpark like a brown and tan shark.
I rushed to my car, knowing I had scant seconds ( I Finally get to use the word scant - Huzzah!) to get to the "Black Panzer" before the time on my paid parking ticket expired. I hefted my shopping bags and ran ... ok, shambled quickly. I got there just as he was approaching and looked onto my dashboard. The ticket read exp: 18:24 it was 18:17 by my watch - I win!
With a sigh of relief I got into the car, having put the grocery bags in the boot (trunk for our american friends), then I looked up and saw the sign above me. My heart sank and I looked about me to see who had also noticed. There was only the parking-shark with a grin, looking at me a few cars away.
The sign read: "Free parking at any time"
I hate that.
silly
