Daily Update
An appeal printed on fancy paper which contained the words:
Herein
Rescind
Grave Citation
AND
Comity. This means an atmosphere of social harmony. I learned a new word today and so did you.
‘Paid in Full Police Parking Ticket’
Does anyone know what this means?
“Here’s my payment for a parking ticket. Of course my appeal has been denied and I have to pay $50 for a parking [ticket]. A little ridiculous, I think. I can only hope that my money is going towards something productive and not into someone’s wallet. I think your parking regulations and fees need reforming.”

Weekly Tally
A gentleman who called in to say that the nearest pay by space station was full. And refused to walk across to the next one because 'that's just not the purpose of having a car.'
Alright. But then you need to move your car or something because you are parked without a permit.
He also wanted to make sure that he didn't receive a ticket, so would it be okay if he left a dollar on his windshield so that the 'parking guy' would know that he paid for his spot.
Sorry but that's an extremely stupid idea.
So what can I do?
Well, right now, your option is to move your car. I'll call an officer and inform him that pay station number (blank) is full. Let me get your license plate and a vehicle description, and I'll also make a note saying that you called and informed us about it. But I can't make any guarantees that you won't receive a ticket.
Frustrated, he finally hung up.
Okay.
I'm extremely displeased about receiving this parking ticket, especially since there were plenty of open spots in that parking lot, and that I was only here to drop something off for my daughter so that she could complete (some school-related) project.
Even if there are plenty of opens spots, it does not mean that you can just park there. Those parking places are only open to permit holders.
Also, we don't care about your reasons for parking. We just don't. All we know is that if your vehicle is parked, it's parked.
I forgot my five day permit card, but could I get something like a free day permit - since you know that I already have a permit?
Uh, no.
Written on the memo line of a check: (specific verb that begins with f) you!
You do realize that we aren't the only people who see your check, right?
A phone call:
I parked my car illegally in a restricted lot, but is it okay if I remain parked there?
*cries in frustration*
I'm not going to answer this question. I'm just not going to do it.

My Car doesn't Reverse
In our parking lots, we require people to park head on. This means they shouldn't make it look like they reversed in or pulled all the way across.
One customer phoned in to say that their car doesn't reverse. Therefore, they do need to pull all the way into a stall.
So...um...how do you drive? Like literally - how do you drive?

The first day of the term is always busy
And we do not appreciate it if you start tapping your fingers on the office counter.
We usually like small talk but not during busy days.
If you start to chat, you may find a line of growing and impatient customers behind you. We will be polite towards you, but they may not be.
MY PEN is MY PEN. Thou SHALL NOT grab MY PEN out of MY HAND.
Before you complete a transaction, think twice. We do not like making reversals.
If you think complaining about parking fees has any impact on our composure, think again.

We Appreciate your Creativity
On the memo line of a check that was received today:
Rather crudely drawn was a stick figure with its finger pointing upwards.
Like I said, we appreciate creativity.
