If you’re in a paid parking lot that still uses magnetic strip parking tickets you can rub the strip on the magsafe ring most phones come standard with now and it will usually make the ticket unreadable. Most of these parking systems has a call box that rings an attendant in a comfy air conditioned office or booth when a ticket won’t scan who isn’t very interested in getting up to inspect your ticket and manually charge you. 9/10 they’ll just open the gate and let you out.
