Ice Cream for Four - $50

Went camping earlier this summer. Good times... except I couldn't sleep at night.
So - our family left the campsite on Donner Lake just outside of Tahoe. No big deal. Just a quick trip to the lake and then for some ice cream. Pretty cheap outing.
We parked the truck at Truckee (no pun intended), and walked right in to the establishment. We ordered our 'food' and sat down for some quiet family discussion.
As we finished, we saw this lady giving my truck a ticket... no, scratch that - she was giving ME a ticket... and doing it right in front of me.
WAIT A SECOND... what did I do? Apparently, NOTHING! And that was the problem. There was NO METER but there were a few signs amidst the 3000 other signs on that sidewalk that said you needed to pay to park.
The ice cream was good - but it wasn't worth $50 ($40 for the ticket). I don't like Truckee anymore.
