Hmm...do you go to LSU?
Parking here is an absolute nightmare. Don't even THINK about leaving the on-campus apartments after 7 pm - you'll have to park in the "rape lot" upon your return. That's if you're lucky and there are still spaces out there.
We're not allowed to park at parking meters. To do that you need to get a visitor's tag. Once, my boyfriend parked at a meter and it expired. So he got 3 tickets: 1 for expired meter, 1 for unregistered (because he didn't have a hang tag) and 1 for out of zone (because he was a student that was parked at a meter). Another time, he had a rental car because his was in the shop and he had left his parking tag in the car. He kept getting unregistered tickets. Somehow, they credited the tickets to him. Apparently, they ran the plate of the rental car and traced it back to him through the insurance company that was paying for the car, and put the tickets, at $35 a pop on his bill.
