I almost got a ticket yesterday while on babysitting duty in Hollywood. I followed my brother to a job, and he told me to park in some spot which was way too big for my car

so I parked there and didn't think to look at the signs. Well I ended up taking his car with the kid and ventured off for some ice cream.
When he finished work he calls me up telling me I better get back fast (he didn't want his kid back that badly) I was parked in a no parking after 6PM zone and he was standing by my car talking to the Parking Enforcement officer. So I rushed back as fast as I possibly could in Hollywood. I got in my smart and drove off, but not before thanking the officer for not giving me a ticket. She said "Don't worry, the car was just so cute I had to let it go!"

Next time I'll have to hand over my beloved smart key to him before I take his car! That will be tough.
