A: I don't know how to fight a parking ticket. B: Did you get written up for exceeding the time limit or for parking where you weren't supposed to be? A: Both. B: Did you see all the signs and just decide to blow them off? A: I was confused. B: Maybe you could explain that you are new and got confused--could you do that? A: If it might work, I'll go for it! B: Let the judge see that you are only a poor starving student who won't do it again. A: I can see how that might work. B: Without actually saying that the parking ticket guy was an idiot, make it seem as though it was HIS mistake, not yours! A: I could do that! B: Try it. It just might save you the price of a parking ticket.
