This Virginia Town Is Forgiving Parking Tickets In Exchange For Donated Canned Food

There are few things more irritating than walking up to your car and finding a citation on your windshield because you misinterpreted one of the 18 signs posted near a parking space.

While most people begrudgingly fork over their money for the violation, if you’re a resident of Strasburg, Virginia, you can do away with that pesky ticket by donating 10 cans of food to the police department.

The city’s Strasburg PD will hold the canned food drive until December 31, donating all the food to Compassion Cupboard of Strasburg.

The residents are definitely behind it, as they can get rid of their stupid tickets while most importantly helping others at the same time.

It’d be nice of something like this would catch on, especially somewhere like Los Angeles (cough, cough), because paying a parking ticket is about as annoying as having your teeth pulled, or watching the Kardashians bitch about having to reschedule their yoga classes.
