$5 Parking Meters?

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

I was in an office on Washington Street in Union Square the other day when a woman came in looking for quarters for the meter (she had wanted to run into the Subway to get food--wasn't planning on being there too long). I did not have any quarters on me, but I offered to put a dollar in the meter for her from my debit card. She thanked me but said she had done that before and a $5 charge showed up on her bank statement; she also said that this had happened to her boss somewhere else in Somerville, not too far away. I am wondering--has this happened to other folks--you went to put in $1 into a Somerville parking meter via debit or credit card and were charged $5?

This is new - LJ won't allow posting of my comments in response to others' postings. Was I bad? Am I being punished? What a pain...

Anyway - for the person who asked about bathroom remodeling - I've had a good experience with my handyman, who did a great job on a basic upgrade for my tenant's bathroom, and he made sure the tenant had full use of the bathroom during the remodel: Kris, 617-230-5050
