Hello, you cannot jump the curb and take my reserved parking spot
Just because you're late for class. And don't give me that "I pay tuition so I should be able to park where I want," line. I pay for that spot.

College students....grrr....:mad:

6. Of course you wouldn't
All your parking spots are filled with burned couches.

I walked to class, never drove. I lived about 5 blocks from Boone.

10. You may be the only student in the history of EMU to have done that
I've seen kids drive twenty feet to go to class. It's insane.

When I was in college I walked ten miles to class each way, uphill both ways, with snow up to my knees, 50 mph winds, in sub zero temperatures, with cardboard soles in my shoes. Kids today are too soft.

3. Easy fix...
Get a bicycle cable lock and lock it around one of the tires. Through the rim and around the rubber. Leave a note suggesting future locking may be avoided by proper parking.
