Since we're talking about online personas... I know mine on here is that I'm
basically perfect and rarely do anything wrong - so I hesitate to share this story because I don't want you to think less of me. However, it might help someone - so here goes:

Last night I made an expensive mistake. I go watch a Bees game several times a year. I hate parking at the lot just north of the stadium, because it takes so long to exit if there are any crowds at all. So, I sometimes park down the street at the Trax station, or if it's full a bit further away at the Lowe's. I've probably parked at Lowe's 3 or 4 times over the years. Last night I got towed. I'd never noticed the ominous "customer parking only" and "towing enforced" signs.

Cost me $381 to get my car out (plus the $7.50 for an Uber over to the lot where two big tow trucks were blocking the entrance lest anyone try to get their car out without paying.)

Makes the $20 to park at some of the private lots in the vicinity look much more appealing.
