California - Standard Parking, I hate you
"Aarrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
I don't swear for the heck of it. But I am so fucking pissed off right now.
I just got back from a nice business dinner with clients and coworkers.
Something wrong with the business meeting today? No.
How about the food, did someone forget to put sprinkles on your creme brule? No.
So what is your major malfunction Blight?
Hmm let's see. My coworker paid $7 for my vehicle to get all night parking. I parked for about 2 hours. My coworker forgot to give me the ticket... so I'm stuck trying to get out of the parking lot without a ticket. I don't have any American money so I can't pay EXTRA just to get out.
The very very annoying part is that the lady that is not letting me leave is the EXACT same one we paid a couple hours ago. She RECOGNIZES me. She KNOWS that I already paid. In fact, she GAVE ME A COPY OF MY RECEIPT for the $7! Despite all that, she won't let me go until I sign a "legal agreement" that states I owe Standard Parking another $7. Does that make ANY sense to you? The receipt shows the time I paid (and parked), and the amount ($7). How does it make any sense that I owe them any additional money??
Meanwhile they threaten to charge interest which "will accrue at the highest interest rate permitted by law".
My company will pay for parking, that is not the issue. The issue is that this is just the shittiest service (as if any "parking" company ever gave any kind of service anyway) I have experienced recently.
So Standard Parking, I hate you.

Sweet I'll try that. Thanks.
Gawd damn, all you need is some anal bitch to completely ruin your day. It's not like she's making commision on it.
Yeah, it's weird. That lady's not making extra cash of you, so why wouldn't she let you go?
It's becuase she was getting high off your frustration and anger. It's the sweetest, most intoxifying drug out there.
Ah, Blight's tears, so salty and delicious.
I have to admit to getting off on that as well. Someone will call in and you can tell right away that they're pissed off over something stupid. It's almost a countdown until they lose it, and it's like "aaaaaaahhhh."
I'm talking to Rehman Ahmad on the phone right now.
Creepy.
That's Blight's terrorist alias.
Just like Derelict's is Taerum Al-Saud, and mine is Pulikkaseril Ali (I'll float like a butterfly, sting like a bee)
Hey Taerum Al-Saud, liking the new photo!
Props to Ahmad - fo shizzle!
Terrorist names! My sister made one up for me a while back: Ajar Al-Doori.
Get it? The door is ajar!
Shut up.
Hey wait a minnit...
Who was that anonymous commenter? And why was he/she so helpful?
I don't know, but we'll assume it was the blogging equivalent of Robin Hood or Batman. He/she just swoops down out of nowhere to give Blight such robust advice, and then flies away into the night.
YOu could do a JS Giguere on the booth!!
I do like that name "Taerum". Sounds menacing. Where'd you come up with that name?
uh, it's the last name of a guy I knew in school once. A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
Speaking of which, I'm still playing Knights of the Old Republic (slowly, I only get to play a couple of hours a week), and I just 'tricked' a Rancor into eating a frag grenade, allowing me to slip right by him! Ho ho!
I wish I could do the cool stuff these Russian guys do: Parkour
I think that running a parking lot has got to be a garunteed money maker.
I mean, your overhead is a big slab of concrete, a ticket dispenser and a couple of soulless employess that probably work for things they can steal out of cars.
Of course, if I was running it, my ticket dispenser wouldn't work, so I could fine anyone who dares to park there. And there would be caltrops everywhere. And I'd encourage a large pigeon population to roost nearby. And I'd subcontract to a body-chop shop for car parts.
Man, I gotta look into that.
