Work Stories

Simple title simple concept, post up your zomg/wtf/rofl stories from work.

So I work as a parking ticket writer for my university, shitty job but whatever.

So this girl gets a ticket, I didnt give it to her but I heard about it. Her roommates mom gets all pissed about it and calls my boss to tell her to remove the ticket(which the girl rightfully got btw), my boss tells her she isnt going to remove it, so the lady calls another boss of ours. She tells her the same thing and adds that since its not her daughters ticket she can't legally discuss it with her.

So the next day the lady calls my original boss back again, demanding the same thing. She goes on and one about how badly Georgia Southern University treats their students. The next day the lady's daughter calls and goes through the same rounds with my bosses. Finally the head of the department finds out and steps in, and shuts it all down, saying it won't be taken off the girls record. The girl and the mother are so upset and pissed that she is going to withdraw from school the next semester, due to a $35 ticket THAT WASN'T HERS.





One day while walking the parking lot, a marine guy stops me and asks me about my job(he thoughts it was funny that people actually got tickets) while talking to him, he asks how much are ticket prices are now. I mention that the most common one is now $35.

A guy two spaces down who I had just given a ticket too over hears and says "this fucking ticket is 35 dollars?!!" I look him at him and say yes, he then says "I parked in 30 min how did I get a ticket!?" I told him he didnt park in 30 min and he thens says "Well there was no there min spaces open" (...call me crazy, but is that not a direct contradiction to what he just said?)

He keeps arguing and saying how there are no spaces open. I look at him and say yes there are, he asks where. I point to the spaces right behind his car about 10ft away, and show him how there are about 6 open spaces. As I look at him I see the realization of his own stupidity washing over. He then re-affirms the obvious and calls himself an idiot before leaving.
