but one thing needs to be mentioned when i still have some rage in me.
monday night, 12 am: sarie (my lovely and beautiful room mate who picked me up from the airport) and i arrived at our place of residence. we wanted to park the car in the parking spot that we (read: sarie) have paid for. but alas we could not. why you ask? oh, just because someone (a girl) had parked IN FRONT OF the ONLY entrance to our parking garage underneath the building!!! really??? i thought to myself. really???? well, i wrote a mean note and put it on the windshield. but then decided that just was just and punishment was in order (in addition to the harsh words on my note), so i called a number, then another, and soon found myself talking to a police officer and a parking enforcement man outside our building.
after a failed attempt, by the police officer, at trying to locate the girl at the address that was connected to the license plate (because she no longer lived there), a phone number was finally obtained and the perpetrator came running in her pj's.
she removed her car, and followed by both law enforcers, drove to her current living abode, where she, i hope, got a hefty fine, and a good ol' "talking to".
sarie and i, one hour after we arrived at home, crawled into bed and slept a measly 5 hours before our 8 o'clock class today.
you might say that we should have just found another parking spot, and let it be. but what kind of message does that send to society? that illegality is ok? no sir, i would never! and the fact that i saw the same red car, with the same brunette circle the block 5 times looking for a parking spot, only enforced my decision of making wrong right.
