I have a history of negotiating parking tickets.

Here’s the corrected version of your text:

Which sounds like a flex, but is really a reflection on my poor parking choices and willingness to ask.

This week featured another such encounter.

Where I live, there’s only street parking available.

That street parking requires a permit.

To get a permit, you need a state-specific license plate, driver’s license, and insurance.

I moved from out of state, so I had none of that.

I asked my landlord to get me a guest permit pass for 14 days.

They did and sent me the approval.

Four days into the permitted period, I got a ticket.

Turns out, my license plate number was input incorrectly, and the dates were also wrong.

Welp.

Technically, I should have gotten a ticket.

But why not ask?

So, I disputed the ticket, sent in the above story, and a week later, my ticket was dismissed.

Thankful for the mercy of judges.
