Day 11- Parking Enforcement

Dear UNL,

     Let us just start out by saying, this letter might get a little heated.  We consider this fair warning.

     We have a bone to pick with UNL Parking Enforcement.  We guess it's not so much with your ticketing habits (which we will get to, no worries) but with your overall manners.

     Just because you get to wear those shirts with "Parking Enforcement" printed across the back, doesn't mean you guys are the almighty!  Yes, you have a little more power than the average, vehicle driving student.  BUT it doesn't give you a pass to act like a jerk!

     Now, don't get us wrong.  Not all parking enforcement employees are jerks.  That is simply not true.  Some of your employees have been quite nice to us.  But there are a select few, we've seen multiple times.  Who we are definitely not fans of.

     Sometimes you guys throw caution and care to the wind and park your truck.... or bike... wherever the heck you want to!  Then, yes there's more, leave it there for more than 5 minutes as you go inside to quench your "manly hunger", as you have put it, with as much masculinity as you could muster.  Your truck, out in the middle of the street, is a real pain in the butt!  Go park your stupid truck and then go eat like a man.

     ALSO! If you're going to give tickets out like a little masculine, ticket-giving fairy, BE CONSISTENT! If two vehicles are parked in front of the meters, have been there the SAME amount of time, they both have commuter student permits, and one still has time left on the meter (barney's car), wouldn't it make sense to give the ticket to the one who was parked at the EXPIRED METER?!?!?!  Yeah, that's what we thought.  We saw you (well, barney saw you anyway) walk over to barney's car (who still had 25 minutes left, we might add) check it out, slap a nasty yellow envelope of doom under the wiper and move to the other said car.  barney witnesses in confusion as you look at the car,notice the expired meter, and walk away.

     WHAT THE HECK?! Was that really necessary?!  We're already broke college students as it is!  We think you must be Texas Longhorns in disguise.  We're on to you....

     Please be fair when ticketing.  We don't enjoy unjust monetary payments.  Stay classy, UNL.  We will always (well, maybe not always) love you.

Sincerely,
killa & barney
