I am sure the story I am going to tell will be met with laughter (a lot) and/or disbelief.

I assure readers it is not invented.

I found a ticket on the windscreen of my car, parked in front of my house – as always for the past 11 years – and after obtaining a translation from the local council I couldn’t believe my ears. I was fined for leaving my car unattended with the windows open. Here it comes... My car is a convertible, roofless most of the time thanks to the climate! Need I add more?

Ridiculous and pathetic are the words that come to mind.
