You should have taken a check, written it out, in the memo area put "ticket was full of sh!t, payment has been tendered in kind", used it to wipe your @ss, and mailed it on in.

Of course, they'd probably kick you out for it, but it would get you some bragging rights 😉

Check will probably be denied payment by the bank because of the 'damn' in the amount field. School more than likely will charge you a $15 fee for a bad check.

Congrats, you almost tripled your ticket 😛

I always had my own parking spot 5 houses from the Oshkosh campus.

I was told by the bank that the written out postion of the ammount is optional. As what I wrote doesn't confuse the ammount, I don't see how it could be rejected.

That's some unoriginal crap. Put some thought into it if you are going to be vulgar.

Perhaps "The best $8.00 BJ I've ever had! Thanks Parking Attendant Smith"

Come on now, that would actually get me in trouble.

That was total BS, because the written amount is the legal field. Most banks will only take it if the written and the number amount match.

Correct. The written amount is one of the nine required fields for a valid check.

In Canada you aren't obligated to take more than I think it was $1 in pennies, or maybe it was $0.50. Beyond that, the vendor can legally refuse the payment.

you're complaining about an $8.00 ticket? on average, I probably rack up $50/week in parking tickets 🙂
