when parking at the union deck, i try to find a
parking spot on the first floor because they are bigger and it’s more
convenient to get in/out of the deck. because there were none, i had to drive
to the third floor to find a spot. most of the spots are slanted, but on the
higher floors, there’s a few sections that are straight. i saw an opening for a
straight spot and backed in. when i got out, a chubby white fellow told me they
would give me a ticket because there is no license plate on the front of my car.
i asked him if that happened to him and he responded saying ‘no, i just read
the parking pass agreement.’ i laughed so hard and thanked him. of course i
didn’t read the agreement like the dumbass i am. so i go back in my car and
pull out to pull in, but as soon as i pull out someone took the spot. parking
on a college campus is a dog eat dog world, i swear. i was stressed being late
to class, but i eventually found a spot on the fourth floor. the kicker about
this whole situation is i wasn’t late to class, i was 25 minutes early. i
thought class began at 11am, but really class begins at 11:30am.
as they say, you learn something new everyday.
some days, two.
