When it comes to dumb parking, this has to take the prize.
I saw this car yesterday morning coming up State St (the wrong way) and park in the first space (if you were driving in the right direction), even though the "No Parking Here To Corner" sign faced away from them and the "ONE-WAY->" sign was right there.
They got out, fed the meter (the correct one!) while one yawned and they then walked away (the faces are blurred to protect the guilty).
It wasn't until an hour later that I saw the TWO police cars.
