My car parked at "A" directly in front of Cosi's.
Always be Vigilant
Ok, so I'm sitting in the Cosi's on 6th St, SW. My car is parked directly in front of the restaurant. I am sitting at a table right next to the window and only the sidewalk is between me and my car. I knew that my parking meter would be expiring any minute, but I was virtually next to my last bite on my sandwich. I can't think of a scenario more safer. For the most part, I was a happy camper. What could possibly go wrong?
It was 3:59 PM and I've had a long day, wondering my plans for the evening. I'm polishing up my Hummus and Fresh Veggies sandwich when I see a DC parking attendant crossing the street scouting out my car like a recon ranger.
Zealous Parking Enforcers
As he's crossing the street, he's already turning on his handheld computer. I drop my sandwich and ran out of Cosi's like my hair was on fire.
Thankfully, I was able to beat the attendant to my car.
"This is my car. Is there a problem?"
"Yeah, you're parked in a rush hour zone," as he pointed to street sign.
