I Fought the Law...

...and I WON! This will be, like, the most brief post ever. But, I just had to gush over the fact that I triumphed over the Lords of Parking at ETSU! Woo hoo!

I had received a ticket for parking in a faculty lot yesterday. Today, I went to their little "Parking Court" and presented the facts:
1. Of the two entrances to the lot, only ONE has a sign advising students not to park there.
2. They have both blue and white painted on the curbs. I know blue represents faculty, but white (I thought) indicates open parking.
3. They have another lot across campus that has a white sign "Open Parking" and that lot has white paint on the curbs, just like the curbs in the faculty lot where I was ticketed.
4. There was another sign that advises that it is a faculty lot, but is not visible because of tree limbs.

I took showed them photos of all of these things, and respectfully requested that my ticket be dismissed. And they agreed! Yay!

So, it WAS just $20...but even small victories can make my day, ha ha!

I'm highly impressed! Perhaps you should get a secondary degree in law.... :-)
