Angry Rant!

After I got done with my classes for the day, I went out to my car to drive home. And what did I find attached to my windshield? A ticket. What could this possibly be, I have done nothing wrong here? So first off:

I remember studying the Nazis in school, but never once did they mention their strict traffic laws. Is anybody else clueless, or did I sleep through the part where they discussed how Hitler parallel parked?

That is a stupid ticket.  I have heard of getting a ticket for that if you are parking on a one way street not in a parking lot though.  Plus why do you still use a club?

That is pretty stupid...

lol my car has been broken into 3 times (granted it is a Honda), never stolen though. However, my brother who went to the same school, got his car stolen out of this same parking lot. The county jail is like 10 miles up the road, and people who get released come down and steal things notoriously. So I'm just saving myself some hassle. lol "

Do you see anything wrong here?  So I inspect the ticket and I see that I have gotten a 15$ ticket for "parking against the flow of traffic."  Alright I thought, yes I am, and this is a crime? I scanned the parking lot and saw other cars doing the same thing as me, and low and behold all of them had tickets as well.   So really what the fuck am I doing wrong? This isn't illegal. If you go to a target or a mall or anything else like this, you will not find a ticket on your windshield. Why? Because ITS NOT FUCKING ILLEGAL!!! I don't care that it's only 15$, it's the principle. Honestly no where in the entire parking lot does it say you can not do this, and I was never alerted of this when buying my parking pass. Sure, ignorance isn't an excuse, but honestly how the fuck was I to know? All my life I have been parking like this and I HAVE NEVER heard of anyone being punished for it. And really what am I doing wrong? I am within my space. I am not obstructing anyone else's spot. Nothing about me being parked in that direction has any unusual effects than just parking in the other direction. So what the fuck? Seriously this pisses me off. Has our economy got so bad that colleges have to nickel and dime people for not doing anything wrong. I'm already paying for your god damn tuition and books, What do you want from me? seriously my school is run by a bunch of fucking Nazi's I swear. But honestly what is wrong with this? Theoretically it is more efficient than the other way. All I have to do is put it into Drive and turn left, instead of putting it in reverse and backing out. Backing out you run the risk of hitting something because of blindspots, or getting in a fender bender with another car. This literally is the safest way to pull out. But you say, "Ohh but its in the wrong direction of traffic." Big fucking deal, I just turn the wheel to the left and pull out. WHERE IS THE FUCKING CRIME HERE?????   Needless to say I am going to go in tomorrow and ask to see the highest up official and complain to him. I am going to bitch the fuck out of him, just for allowing this stupid bullshit to happen. We shouldn't be punished for doing something we do every week in other places.   Look I know this doesn't apply to anyone but me, but I need to vent. URRRRGGGG!!!!!!!!!! "

It is illegal to do that in my country, but it isn't one really enforced - except if you park on the side of the road, facing the traffic (if you know what I mean). 
 
Clearly your council needs revenue, but I am guessing you are technical wrong and there is nothing you can do about it. 
 
Where I am, you can get a ticket for leaving your car unlocked.

If there is nothing to indicate that you have to park a certain way, then why the heck would they give out tickets? That's pretty stupid. :/

Evil cops. Giving out stupid tickets.

$15?  Man, that's a month of WoW gone.

" @AlexB: Damn, dude cops must really have nothing to do in your state for giving tickets for "parking against traffic." You should move to Fl where cops are too busy trying not to die or stopping people from throwing babes off of bridges. "

In the picture, can't you see the bazooka and MP40 hidden in the back? You should be considering yourself lucky you just got a ticket...

That's a strange reason to get a ticket.. especially in a parking lot... =/
 
Your best bet would to NOT act like a douche when contesting the ticket, however. Be polite, honest and professional. If the parking lot has no signs to inform people of such a violation, the responsibility really is on their shoulders to inform people about it. If they have failed to do so, you should have a legitimate reason to contest the ticket.

It sucks but what can you do except park like they want you to do in the future.
 
Ps. THOSE PARKING SPACES ARE FUCKING HUGE!

" @PeasForFees: I realize that now. But before I had no idea, and was just performing a social norm. "

dude its $15. If you go and flip out at everyone for a $15 ticket, you are just gonna come off as poor.
