Ruination!
I ruined a student's day!
How do I know? He told me so!
He said: "Thanks for ruining my day! Guess this is my graduation gift huh?"
Well, you're half-right, you can consider this a gift, but I certainly don't see how it's my fault you chose not to pay that parking meter and suffered the consequences. It's not my job to pay YOUR parking meter when YOUR car parks there.
Must be an interesting existence, viewing the world in a way that actually makes it MY fault that you didn't do something. Maybe he sees the world like how you used to be able to look at the negatives from a roll of camera film and wonder who all those strange blue-skinned and white-eyed people were in those pictures, because they do look a little bit like you but clearly aren't? ...
And if that "ruined" your life, man, I'd hate to see you face some REAL adversity, your fragile psyche might come apart at the slightest touch like a discount yard sale television set.
Got another one later in the day for excessive unpaid parking tickets going all the way back to 2010, probably his freshman year. He was quite upset that I got him on his last day in town, by his account, it was literally 10 minutes from leaving when he got the hook. And, naturally, none of those tickets on his tab had been paid, so they were all charged at the delinquent rate of $50 each, instead of the $15 they were when issued.
ProTip: Don't put your 4-way flashers on at a parking meter you didn't pay, that just gets my attention as easily as a pink neon sign with chase lights that says "SCOFFLAW HERE".
Total bill for his misadventure? $285, for want of $1.25 worth of quarters.
Hope he isn't graduating with a business degree, or we're all doomed.
Notice: Impending Fraud Failure
Either the "2" on that permit evolved and grew a tail, or you tried to change it into a "3" and thereby make a 2012 permit valid again for 2013. I'm guessing the later since that's much more plausible. By the way:
You did notice that the lower part of that alleged "3" was hanging wayyyyy below the line that the rest of those numbers were written on, right? Right?
And, I hate to be the one to break this to you, Einstein, but you did happen to notice that the 2013 permits are Vending-Machine-Cheese-Crackers-Orange, and the 2012's are Safety-Vest lime green? Right?
And the majority of that lime green color had been bleached out of it long ago by days upon days sitting on the dashboard of the car and soaking up the sun, so it appeared white at first glance which only got my attention quicker. You did notice that? Right?
Well, from the size of some of those dents on that car, and the fact the entire rear bumper was missing, I get the feeling you don't notice things until you've run into them. Wonder how long it will be before you notice the car's not where you left it?
P.S. Storage is $35 per 24 hour increment Spanky, so try to notice it sooner rather than later.

from my students when I tell them the Chair will not send the entire classes names to the Board of Nursing if anyone owes the college any money at all.
