He just guaranteed his trick won’t ever work again.

After a while, that doesn’t work anymore. They’ll notice the same car with a ticket on it every day. Been there, done that.

Fight to the death, the winner created the hack. Problem solved.

I know, I just found it funny that this was news-worthy. When I did it, a couple of my friends got a good laugh out of it, a few people liked it on Twitter, I shared it here, and that was that.

Did you see a . Or my original comment?

I’m on mobile so I can’t delete. Thought you said Gawker at first before seeing BuzzFeed. My bad.

Poorly parked?

Parking within the lines is for the poors. Certainly they have donated enough to the officer’s ball to ignore such plebeian concerns as parking tickets.

I think at some point they’ll just tow the car.

Be careful, someplaces tow after the first ticket and others just stack tickets.

Many do, but my high school for whatever reason did not

I work at a high school and we have a lot attendant who patrols the lot. He really only goes after people who park in a teacher/admin sport (and they complain), park illegally (like on a curb or sideways, you know in a dumb way), or people who park in the special lot for the nadatorium. However, there are occasional days where they decide to go lay down the law and ticket, boot, and tow a bunch of cars all on the same day.

I guess the best strategy is to first know the worst case scenario and the standard practice of the lot you deal with, then you know what you can get away with and what to expect when/if you get caught.

Most of the time it is cheapest just to get the parking pass and park where you are supposed to.

With all due respect, I was pulling this back in ‘03-’07 on a college campus.

I did have a parking pass, but unfortunately our school sold roughly half again as many passes as there were spaces. Either way, I only used the ticket trick maybe 3 times during the year; I was virtually always early enough to find a space that my pass allowed me to park in.

I used to do this in high school (in an urban area with a choice between city on-street parking and an expensive garage) rather than move my car every hour—they only ticket you once for the violation, and there are multiple meter maids patrolling the neighborhood, so once you’ve gotten one ticket you’re good for a few weeks, at least until the weather damaged the envelope enough to make it look old.
