Our car is parked in a non-metered spot. Our car is ticketed for “expired meter or overstay”. We, being of rational minds, appeal the ticket on the ground that it is a basic logical fallacy, including a photograph of the sans-meter parking spot. (It still is.)

Now, five months later(!), an appeal decision has been made: Ticket is confirmed. The accompanying comment, in full: “Information supports a determination that the violation occurred.”

Fantastic. Chicago, I’m falling out of love with you.
