Parking permits are a scam in college. Schools know that broke students are barely scraping together enough pocket change to eat instant noodles every night, so why not squeeze out an extra $300 per semester to allow them to park on campus? Clearly, it's a luxury to park your car half a league from your classroom, but not one that every student can afford.

After having car troubles and dumping their grocery fund into their fixer-upper vehicle, the last thing on their mind was paying for a parking permit. However, the fear of campus police and another target on their back financially, u/Bwendolyn was in a bind. Should they pay hundreds to register their car for a permit? Or risk a parking ticket?
Eventually, this particularly witty student found a hole in the school's permitting armor when they discovered that once you receive a parking ticket on campus, there's really no accountability to get it paid for unless your car is registered. Curiooous.
