Regarding Appeals

A quarter is taped onto the citation of an overtime meter.

The accompanying note says:
"I am 56 years old. If I could've climbed onto that snow bank and plugged the meter, I would have done so. Here's 25 cents for the time I was there."

The note was submitted as an appeal. The appeal was granted.


On the day that a famous sports figure (very dear to our state) retired from said sport.

The appeal says:
"I'm very depressed by their retirement. I can't bear to take any more bad news. Considering that, please void this ticket."
The appeal was denied.

The famous sports figure has now come out of retirement and has joined a rival team. Not just any rival team, a team that this state absolutely loathes.
Hopefully, the depressed customer is not feeling suicidal.
