Can you share some funny parking ticket stories?
Sure. One time my friend parked in what he thought was a legal spot near a park. But it turned out it was a reserved spot for the park ranger's vehicle on certain days. He got a ticket that had a really funny note saying 'You parked where the ranger likes to park his donut-mobile!'.
Well, there was this incident. A guy parked his car in a spot that was marked as no parking during street cleaning hours.

It just shows how important it is to follow the parking regulations, no matter how you might think you can bend them.

What are some common elements in a funny parking ticket story?
A common element is the unexpectedness. You think you're parked fine, and then boom, there's a ticket. It could be due to a newly - placed sign that you didn't notice. Another is the vehicle itself. If it's a really large vehicle in a small space or a tiny vehicle in a space meant for something else. And the context around the parking also matters.
