Damn the Man!
current mood: infuriated
This week started out on such a good note. It's Prison Break!Monday, it's cold (relatively speaking), I've got my car, and I had Einstein's for breakfast. All positive things. So naturally, I was feeling in a giving mood today.
As I'm leaving the Reitz parking garage (I didn't have a decal until about 10 minutes ago), I rolled down my window and gave the ticket to the woman that was pulling into the space after me. I had already paid for a full day and it saved her $5, so I was like, "Yes! I have done my good deed for the day." As I'm leaving the garage, some guy smacked the back of my car and I was like, "WTF?" I just figured he was pissed that I blocked the walkway. People here are crazy like that. I was like, "Whatever," and I kept on driving. Well, the bastard ran in between parked cars and jumped those cables that divide the rows and fucking stopped me on the other side. So I rolled down my window and was like, "Yes?" And he was like, "Do you know that's a $20 ticket?" And I was like, "What is? I wasn't speeding." He was like, "There's no transfer of tickets. It's posted on the sign twice." And so I tried to look at the sign, but 1) the fat-ass was blocking my view and 2) I wouldn't have been able to see it anyway because I was too far away at that point. So I looked up at him, all innocent, and I was like, "I'm so sorry. I didn't even see that." And he was like, "I'll let you go with a warning this time." And I was like, "Thank you so much..." *rolls up window and starts to drive away* "...you bald, fat-assed son of a bitch."
You do not even know how pissed off I was. And how fucked up is that? I was just trying to be nice. This is why people in general suck today. Because if you try to do anything at all nice for anyone else, you get nailed on a technicality and end up getting penalized for it. Who's going to be at all caring or considerate if they know they're going to get reprimanded for it? I just don't understand the problem. I paid for the whole day. I could have left the car there all day, if I so desired. Why should someone else have to waste $5 unnecessarily? I was going to get a $20 ticket because of a measley $5 parking pass that, again, had already been paid for.
The system is completely corrupt and morally bankrupt. Congratulations, UF! You really are teaching your students how to function in the real world.
