First Parking Ticket

May 4th 2006

I parked my car accross the street last night because a friend was in our driveway, and this morning I go to move it back only to find a nice little ticket under the wiper. Street sweeping day. Oh, right. $36.

It wouldn’t bug me so much, but the time on the ticket is 9:39 AM, which is precisely one minute before I woke up—on the second snoose-button press. If only I had got up at 9:20 like I was supposed to…

Street sweeping. I bet that’s a good percentage of Berkeley’s parking revenue right there. Eh, support the city I guess…

    I actually got a parking ticket at ASU today. Not something I tend to get often either ;)...mine was $25.

    Hehe, I got a $50 (AUD though) parking ticket at the train-station when I parked my car on the way too school a few months ago. Good fun!

    My mom got a parking ticket today for parking next to Barrows. We didn’t see the “permit required” signs. It was for $40! #*@&%$@@## UCPD
