Not all P-Safe tickets are created equally

It's high noon and right about now you're out of luck for parking. Cruise through U-Hall: full; Speed through Drollinger: not an open spot in sight; Cringe upon arriving at Hannon lot only to find that there is a parking spot at the opposite end of campus adjacent to the Children's Center. Aside from that debacle, finding parking isn't the only issue but really avoiding that white receipt-like paper folded in your windshield wiper from our friendly P-Safe officer.

There are so many opportunities to be one of the lucky ones to have this paper bestowed upon your car; such as not parking in your assigned spot, parking outside the lines. Shouldn't this lame Dodge Neon get a ticket?

Absolutely it should! Unfortunately, it did not because this parking fail occurred at night so of course leave it to P-Safe to not be around Drollinger at the time to make the ticketing magic happen. Of course, earlier in the day, my car was ticketed. Why? Because I parked in Drollinger and my spot in is Hannon Lot. Call me crazy, but shouldn't our fabulous Dodge Neon here be getting the ticket too? I mean look at how it's parked?!?! It's clearly screwing someone out of an already subcompact spot. Trust me, when Homer Simpson made a parking fail, it was brilliant, this is just annoying. It doesn't matter if this was at night, P-Safe, ticketing should be a 24/7 thing not just something for P-Safe to pass the time from 7:00 am to 4pm on weekdays.
