- I too have come back and found tickets that should not have been there.
- (Well OK, one that I know shouldn't have been there). I checked the time
- after I put in the money, and left. When I came back I found a ticket on
- my windshield, with the time 10 minutes before the meter should have
- expired. [It should have expired 3 minutes before I got back]. There was
- no sign of the meter person, and I was in a BAD mood from having had to deal
- with other arms of the university prior to that, So I dropped a quarter in
- the envelope with a very nasty note pointing out that the ticket was in error,
- and I would contest it if they weren't happy with the quarter (Far more than
- they actually deserved). I actually got a letter of appology, and the
- quarter back a few weeks later.
-
- I don't think the parking nazis themselves are the least bit reasonable,
- but there is someone with more sense the gravel somewhere in the hierarchy.
