If you can stand another ID story:

I lost my parking ticket @ the airport, and figured I'd suck up the 'all-day' rate. But no.

Had to wait while the cashier re-directed all the traffic behind me at the one open booth, then back out, and park at the main parking authority building. And wait for the 'someone' I needed to talk to. He explained that the 'paid' reciept I had wasn't good enough, because I might have just "picked it up off the ground!".

Weirdly, he did offer to go back the terminal and find the ticket he seemed not to believe I dropped somewhere. I wish I'd had time to let him, swear I woulda done it.

He moseys to the cashier booth, presumably to tell the man I am STILL willing to pay the full rate, and then waves me to the booth. Where the cashier proceeds to ask me for my driver's license. Stupidly, I handed it to him. He starts typing things into his computer!

"I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU THE $12!!!"

Hands the license back. "Your phone number? I have to fill out the form"

No. NO! Here's my @12 and I JUST WANT TO PAY YOU AND LEAVE!

Finally he took my money, and the more I think of this, the madder I am at myself for not having the time to take a stand.
