While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.

It doesn’t matter that the rest of the country loves me, that I’m a starting quarterback with a multimillion-dollar contract.
