Thanks for the comments/replies everyone. It's just really frustrating how they can just stick their hands in our wallets and take some revenue with a dumb piece of paper and a some inconsiderateness.

I am still debating whether I'm going to pay, appeal, or send the letter drafted above.

This aint the first time i've been really pissed about these damn stupid "parking violations".

Another one that still pisses me off, is one from my campus. I parked in a common, unmarked spot, along a small curb.

I parked there dozens of times, as did numerous others. The curb was and known as spots.

Then one day, I parked a little in the grass, say the width of my tires, and got a "NO PARKING ON GRASS" violation.

I appealed explaining the stupidity of the ticket, and it was denied. Shall I tell you why?

"When you enter the lot, there is a sign that says, No Parking on Grass." - They said.

A total LIE! THERE WAS NO SUCH SIGN, I LOOKED AFTER MY APPEAL GOT DENIED!

However, a week later, they installed such a sign, along with eliminating the curbside spots. !*&$^****!

Oh well, I think i'll sleep on the choice.

Thanks all.
