A common element is the unexpectedness. You think you're parked fine, and then boom, there's a ticket. It could be due to a newly - placed sign that you didn't notice. Another is the vehicle itself. If it's a really large vehicle in a small space or a tiny vehicle in a space meant for something else. And the context around the parking also matters. For instance, if you park near a place that has a really strange or funny name and get a ticket there. The combination of these things can make for a really funny parking ticket story.
Once, my friend parked his car in what he thought was a legal spot. But it turned out to be a private driveway. When he got the parking ticket, he was so confused. He thought it was a public area because there were no signs clearly indicating it was private. He tried to appeal the ticket, but the homeowner had a photo of his car clearly blocking the driveway. It was funny in a way because he was so sure he was in the right.
Sure. One time my friend parked in what he thought was a legal spot near a park. But it turned out it was a reserved spot for the park ranger's vehicle on certain days. He got a ticket that had a really funny note saying 'You parked where the ranger likes to park his donut-mobile!'.
There was a man who parked his car at an angle across two parking spaces thinking he was being clever to avoid door dings. But he got a ticket with a note saying 'Your attempt to protect your car has cost you a ticket. Next time, park like everyone else!'.
One element is parking in the wrong place like in someone else's private driveway thinking it's a public space. Another is when people try to park in ridiculously small spaces and end up getting stuck. Also, if a car is parked at a really odd angle, like perpendicular to all the other cars.
The cartoons could show animals mistakenly using the disabled parking spots, creating a funny and unexpected scene.
Typically, in car parking cartoons, you'll see cars crammed into small spaces, drivers getting lost in parking lots, and maybe some fantasy elements like talking cars trying to park themselves.
Sure. One time I saw a car parked half on the sidewalk and half in the street. The owner had clearly misjudged the space. When he came back, he had to squeeze through the tiny gap between his car and a lamppost to get in. It was hilarious.
One hilarious element is the excuses people come up with. Like when someone says they were speeding because they thought their GPS was giving them a time - limited mission. It's just so absurd. Another is when the situation they are speeding for is something really silly, like being late for a pizza delivery because they were craving it so much.
Well, often there are suspicious people involved. They might be lurking, following someone, or just giving off a really creepy vibe. Also, things like vandalism or finding something odd near your car, like a strange object or a mark that wasn't there before, are common in these stories. It all adds to the sense of unease and danger in a parking lot.
You could look for cartoons like 'Parking Pandemonium' where the homeowners are constantly having hilarious battles over parking spots.
