Astute as Fuck

I was parked at a set of meters in the East Village right before going inside the salon to get my hair cut.  It was 7:55am.  I was holding a giant coffee in one hand as i stood at the set of meters in front of me and plugged an hour and a half worth of coins (just in case!) into the right-side meter.  I tripped as i hurried my way across the street, saving my coffee (phew!), and curtsied in case anyone saw that.

An hour later when i came out, i noticed a parking ticket on my windshield.  I stared at it in a "WTF Moment" for a split-second before i imagined myself plugging those coins.  I truly closed my eyes and pictured the moment i dropped coins into the right-side meter.

*SIGH*

I was parked at the left-side meter.

I grab the paper and envelope and plop down into the driver seat.  I stare down at my $15 parking ticket. I look up at the Volkswagen that was parked at the fully-paid-meter in front of me, then back down at the parking ticket.

"Motherfucker."

As i start the car i think, You’re welcome, Volkswagen. #payitforward
