chris moon: christenbury: One time, it was after my business law exam freshman year, and it was raining snowing and I was loading my car to go home and I got a $50 ticket for being in a loading zone or something like that. Also, another time I got a ticket in the AOII lot for ‘not parking in the lines’ which was because it was during an ice storm, and I couldn’t even see the lines! So appealed it, it didn’t get approved, so they added on $10 which made it a $35 ticket for one of my tires being on the line of the parking spot! I hate parking! Also, when the ice storm graced us with its presence last year, my roommate’s car was frozen solid for three days straight and parking decided to ticket her for each of those three days! So, it ended up being $150 in parking tickets in three days! I was coming back to the Quads late at night to park in a resident reserve spot. I have a resident reserved sticker on my car’s windshield that I paid $500+ for, mind you. All the spots were filled, so obviously someone was parking illegally, as there should have been at least one spot left for me. I parked in the very back of the middle section, as not to obstruct the lot. I put a large note on my dash, visible through ithe windshield, explaining the situation. Noting that I have a resident! eserve sticker, I was aware I was not in a parking spot, that at 1 time all lots were full indicating someone had parked illegally, and that I obviously didn’t choose this spot for its convenience (as opposed to illegally parking at the very front of the lot)y got a $40 ticket, and they wanted $10 to dispute t (which isn’t a guaranteed win, but your $10). tyler halbrook: It was my first semester of college last year, and I parked my car on Arkansas Ave. at night on the side with meters. I walked home really late that night and forgot about my car. I came back the next day around noon or so and I had two tickets on the dash, $20 each. I was thinking, ‘Great, well at least I didn’t get booted or something.’ So later, it was raining, like really pouring, and I went to pick up my dry-cleaning and I parked out in front of Maple Hill. Like, I literally went and picked up my coat and was back in three minutes and I had a ticket which was twice as much as the other tickets, $40 dollars. So then I went to pay them, and instead of it being $80 like I thought, it was $110 because I had three unpaid tickets and that means they add $10 to each ticket. So I guess all it was iy fault, but I was still pretty pissed. PARKING TICKETS
