No Parking

There’s nothing like getting to work and going to the garage you PAY for and there’s no parking left! There was a conference downtown today so the garage messed up and sold all the spots. So all the regular PAYING customers had to either pay at another garage or squeeze in somewhere.

I chose to be a little creative with my parking job – I parked directly in front of the 6th floor doorway! If I get towed I’m really going to blow my lid. I wanted to get in early this morning to do a product review and spent 30 minutes trying to park! My co-worker and friend Emily thought it was so funny that she took a shot with her camera phone:

No Parking

It’s pretty bad customer service to mess with your paying customers in lieu of one-timers!

UPDATE: I wasn’t towed, but someone left me a nice note on my windshield that I got a chuckle out of, “THIS IS NOT A PARKING SPOT, STUPID!“
