Parking Ticket

Well.. Ohio State has already raised tuition this year by 12%... and still feel that they should make more money off students by fining them with stupid tickets. A few days ago I had an appointment with my College Advisor. Well, Ohio State is not a small school... I believe it the 2nd biggest campus in the nation. So i drive all over to find a place to park. I finally found a place and parked there. I walked 3 blocks to my advisor's building and spent roughly an hour sorting papers and scheduling classes. I get home... my friend comes over and we were heading out some place. He notices a slip under my window wiper and takes it. He shows it to me its a parking ticket issued by the Ohio State police. I was fined $30 for parking in a faculty spot!? Now... I am not a stupid person to do that or park in a handicap spot... so I didn't believe the claim. I drove back to the place and sure enough.. THERE IS NO SIGN STATING ANYTHING... but on the other side, each spot clearly has a sign infront stating its a faculty spot. However the place where I parked had no sign or warnings! So I drive up further and about 100ft ahead from the place where I parked, there was a small sign saying "faculty" spot. But this sign cannot be seen from where I parked! Its even over a hill!!! Even though $30 is not much... I will refuse to pay them anymore. I will keep my $30 to fill my tank up.

Ok.. thanks for the time to let me vent:p
