Cold wash, let it hang to dry, don't put it in the dryer. And cover them with something when you iron them, and iron them inside out.

I'm in a the worst fucking mood ever.. Only catalyst I can think of is the jeans scenario, but shouldn't be fueling my rage this much. Any calming remedies anyone can think of?

Has anyone managed to get out of a parking ticket by sending one off from the time and date? This guy gave me his ticket and was 100% convinced that the "I had one but it must have fallen off" routine would work.

Have tried this, together with every other 'scam' to get out of parking fines.

Better off just paying it off within the allocated time to get it reduced.

When you buy the ticket from the pay and display you have to enter the digits from your number plate, right? So his ticket will have his number plate on it, not yours. So if you send the ticket off, claiming it's yours, they'll just say it's clearly not yours because it doesn't match your number plate.

Right?

I see. You don't have to enter your number plate at this car park though, only thing I could think of is CCTV but I doubt they would bother.

just say 'can you mark the value as 30 dollars and gift at my own risk so i avoid the massive u.k customs charges'.
they will know what you mean, and do it.
