Guy Finds Bus Stop Surrounding His Truck When There Wasn't Before - And A Parking Ticket



A builder has been given a parking ticket after a bus stop was painted around his truck.

A prankster had removed cones from a stretch of Warminster Road where council contractors were due to mark out the bus stop lines.
So 44-year-old Steve Hall from Corsham returned to the pick-up he had parked at 6.40am to find the ticket.

Mr Hall, who works for building company Emery’s, says that the contractors even left paint on his tyres as they painted round the vehicle.

You have to wonder about the street department employees who did the painting.....

and it was one stupid cop who didn't see that the bus stop was just painted there after the truck was parked. Not the most observant cop on the force.
