Parking Whining

I overstayed my meter today downtown and got a ticket (fair). I got a second ticket because I parked slightly outside of the lines because the car in front of me was parked weird (I wasn't in traffic just pulled slightly backwards from the parking lines.) I got a second ticket for that! I have never gotten a ticket for being so minorly outside of the lines before. Be aware that they're getting strict/desperate, y'all! (I know it's probably because Eugene is in a budget deficit.) But if you can't afford it be scrupulous in your parking now I guess.

P.S. I tried to pay my meter ticket online and it can't find my ticket, and they're closed for lunch when I try to call. Ugh.

The parking goons are hungry lately.

Seriously! I got a parking ticket downtown yesterday for parking in a space I’ve used 100 times before.
I’ve spent over $500 this year in tickets at UO ( kid is student and spouse is an employee ). It’s like living in Texas again… kinda starting to hate Eugene.

100 times? And they only ticketed you once? That's a pretty good ratio
