My Karma ran over my Dogma

I thought this was amusing. Yesterday, Adam had to head up to IUPUI for class, since it was the first day and he’s a “project manager” (AI).

And left about 30 minutes later than planned, but no worries, because he had a DP and could park anywhere. All he needed to do was stop at the Flying J for cheap gas.And got pulled over for 72 in a 55 (just a warning) by Oliver. And gas at the Flying J was $.20 more expensive than Eville so he waited. And Harding Street was closed, and he almost ran out of gas on the detour.

So apparently, you can actually purchase Reserved spots at IUPUI. Like the one Adam parked in. And if someone parks in your spot, you can have them ticketed, towed, or ticketed and towed (the R spot owner’s choice). So he found out when he went out and found a BMW in the spot he parked in, and mentioned it to a coworker hoping there was a mistake and the car hadn’t been stolen. Parking Ops isn’t staffed like ours is, so he calls, no one answers. Calls again, no one answers. Calls a third time, and they tell him the car has been towed, but he can come to the Vermont Street garage to get it. Has an IUPUI coworker drive him over and drop him off since they said the car was there, goes in, pays the ticket and the tow charge, and finds out the car had been towed to a lot on the east side of Conseco. At least they drove him over there...not the friendliest of section of Indy unless you like razor wire.

Honestly, this still cracks me up and I grin whenever I think about it – I may have changed diapers all day, but at least I didn’t have to ride back to Bloomington wondering what else was going to happen!
