Today, when I went to the post office for 3 minutes, I saw a parking ticket when I got back to my car. I drove away and returned literally 1 minute later to take photos for the appeal.
I didn’t notice a single yellow line; there was a car parked on the opposite side of the street, so to leave room for it to pass, I drove onto the sidewalk. That resulted in a ticket.
Should I appeal? Honestly, I’m furious—I should have just parked on the street and not worried about blocking traffic. I also have this feeling that the person who gave me the ticket was sitting in that parked car.
