AITA for insisting on parking in a different spot on the 4th of July
This 4th of July my husband and I decided we wanted to walk around our local university campus. Free parking is usually very limited, especially with the current ongoing construction in our town. However, finding parking that day should not be an issue because not only was it a federal holiday, it was also a Saturday and the permit only parking spots are always free on the weekends. There were many parking options.
My husband, who was driving my car, insisted on parking in a university vehicle only parking spot. There were 3 spots, two already had university vehicles in them and he wanted to take the 3rd and last - leaving no more spots. These spots, while unlikely on a holiday, could absolutely result in a ticket if we park in them. The university parking code states these spots are enforced 24/7. The odds are low but not zero, there are always people working on campus. I told him I do not want to park in that spot, I would worry about getting a ticket even if it was only a slim chance, why could we not park in any other of the hundreds of free parking spots available. Additionally if we are driving my car, shouldn't I have a say in where we park? He says if we got a ticket he would pay for it, but I believe that is still money spent by the family.
He insists he won't get a ticket so everything is fine, I am saying it makes me uncomfortable so why can't we just park in a different spot for my peace of mind. Am I the asshole?
