So long, BYU parking ticket police

Dear BYU parking ticket police,

Today I am officially rid of my debt to you. In the four years I attended BYU, I managed to somehow accumulate parking tickets that totaled to over approximately $400. How did this happen you may wonder??? One ticket at a time. When it takes someone 30+ minutes to walk to campus, and it is freezing outside, and there is like 2 spots of "free" parking for students, risking the $20 fine doesn't seem so bad. But when I would return to my car to find a little green envelope on the windshield, my despisement and loathement (yes, I made up words) for you continued to grow. Every time I saw one of your little white vehicles, I nearly popped your tire. You are welcome for the massive funds I contributed to your department, of which I am sure payed for your annual staff pizza party. Isn't there some award for the poor student who got the most tickets?? I'm sure I qualify. But whatever, because we are finally through. Best of luck as you continue to steal away the meager funds of other starving college students.

P.S. This goes for Provo parking police also, who towed my car one night and made me pay $150 cash to get it back....poopies.
P.P.S. But I totally talked my way out of a parking boot once. Ha, so there!

Oh Jenna...$400! That is so funny to me. I got a boot once from the Provo parking nazis and I got really mad at the guy who came to take it off because it was totally visitor parking. I was real mad and I was real scary...but apparently he didn't think so because he just stared at me awkwardly and asked a few times, "credit or debit?" and I said, "How about I push you over?" OK, no I didn't, but I wanted to. And I should have done it for you.

lol oh my gosh, i laughed my head off at this because I'm SO with ya on the parking tickets! Get this- I went to pay my health insurance at the BYU health center, and instead of putting that money to my insurance which I specifically wrote the check to, they sent the money to pay the $90 I owed in parking tickets instead!! Then the health center said I never paid them for the semester! I was so ticked, and I am SO glad to soon be rid of those Nazis forever!!
