I had my fair share of unforgettable memories of parking tickets.
.

Once upon a time, when I was a young mother, I tend to misplace my parking ticket. Due to my attention was always on the baby, I totally forgot where I put them even frantically searching for it everywhere from car to car park machine to my bag. It just miraculously disappeared, only God knew where it was.

Another two times occurrence were totally out of the earth. After paying the parking ticket, everything went smoothly until when I reached the exit barrier, I realised I left the parking ticket at the automated paying machine at the mall. What the....?!! Seriously wanted to knock knock bang my head. The first round when I went back to the machine, my parking ticket was being placed on top of the machine by someone else. Thank goodness. The second round when I went back to find, it was gone. So I had to go to the ticket counter to get a new parking ticket with 'penalty' payment. Sigh...

The most unpredictable was the parking ticket dropped into that small slit at the lift door. Like, seriously? So lucky.

After few years, most of the malls came out with the Touch and Go system where no parking tickets are needed if you load your Touch and Go with some cash and you swipe to prepay your parking at the entrance. Since then, I always use Touch and Go, no more using parking ticket.

Anyway, the most unforgettable was an incident by my friend. After pumping her car with petrol, she straight away drove the car while the pumping tube still at the petrol nozzle. Yikes! 🙈🙉🙊 She was totally shocked and embarrassed at the same time.
