Can I tell my funny "unlikely driver" story now?    

A couple of years ago my husband and I went downtown to get 
passports.  Miserable, cold rainy day for a desert rat, so I was 
swathed in sweats and work boots looking particularly slovenly.   I 
never even considered that I'd find a parking meter, just assumed I'd 
have to park the Hummer in a lot, and between us we had 16c in 
coin.  Impatient and cold, I pulled a dollar out of my wallet and 
started walking toward a stranger to ask for change.  She took me 
for one of our bountiful population of  homeless panhandlers and did 
that traditional 10 foot loop around me, refusing eye contact until I 
started laughing and pointing at the Hummer saying "no, I need 
change for the meter."    She felt so bad so gave me 60c and refused 
my dollar.
