Sketchy

By Anonymous - 23/04/2009 13:25 - United States

Today, I parked downtown for a few minutes to pick up a pizza. As I was getting out of my car, a sketchy guy came up and asked me for $5. I told him to get lost and walked away. I walked back to the lot with my pizza and my car was gone. The sketchy guy was a parking attendant. He had my car towed. FML

Today, I went to pick up my car from where I parked it last night. I walked over to my parking spot only to find a vegetable stand there in its place. Apparently, that's the location of the Saturday Market and they had my car towed. FML

Today, I was walking to my car from my workplace. When I was about 20 feet from my car, a guy who was clearly on drugs yelled at me and stole my keys and car. Right before leaving the parking lot, he hit a stop sign and then yelled that my car was broken and ran off. FML

Today, I went to lunch with a friend in her car. I told her to park in a lot that had signs warning that we'd be towed, saying, "They never tow anyone from here. In fact, if you get towed, I'll pay for it." When we returned, her car was gone. I had to pay $145 in cash to get it back. FML

Today, I couldn't find my car in a mall parking lot. After 30 minutes of searching, I reported it stolen to the mall security. It turns out that I'd parked it on the opposite side of the mall. Security escorted me to my car, all while giving me pitiful looks. FML

Today, I came outside to leave for work. To my shock and horror my car was gone. My asshole neighbor, who has parked in my spot multiple times decided to let her noisy guests park in my parking spot, so I parked in hers. She had my car towed. FML

Today, I was parking my car outside of my apartment, but the big truck next to the spot went over the line. I squeezed in anyway. Later, I discovered the truck had left and someone keyed my car. They left a note saying, "Good parking job, asshole." FML

Today, we paid to park in a lot in the city. Hours later, we returned to find our car booted. Apparently the guy that took our money didn't work there. We're stuck three states away from home. FML

Today, I walked to work. I later discovered that my husband had parked my car in a no-parking area. My job is towing cars. I had to tow my own car. FML

I'm sure he tried to tell you what he was doing and you just didn't listen. YDI I hope that pizza tasted good while you were sitting on the curb.

Seems kinda weird... a "Sketchy" guy would ASK for $5? You'd think they'd explain first and then tell you the price - if any. I would've thought it'd be up to the customer to leave some sort of tip for parking attendance... ... HMM.

I agree with #2. Wouldn't and shouldn't they at least explain themselves first?

Confused... why would a parking attendant seem sketchy?

If a sketchy guy randomly asked for $5 with no explanation, I would've done the same (albeit, more politely). FYL.

Sorry but you deserved that one. Next time someone asks for money hand it over. If you can afford pizza, you can afford to pay a parking person.

#65...he was a sketchy guy BEFORE the OP knew he was a parking attendant...you dumbass. and i also read a post questioning the lack of uniform on the parking attendant from #14- wtf? do parking attendants have uniforms, nametags, etc? what is this the 1950's where every person had a uniform for their job...like the ice cream store clerks, and gas station attendants, ETC ETC ETC #41 and #43..right on! it would take a longer time to tow a car than 5 minutes, but where in the OP did it say it took 5 (or a few) minutes to get the pie? all listed numbers above...no offense really...i'm just a tense dude that needs to get laid

If you were in the city, you had to have known that any lot you parked in wasn't free. Since you don't mention putting money in the meter, the first thought on your mind when he asked for 5 dollars should have been that he was the lot attendent

I feel ya man, I don't think this is fake, and I would have been hesitant to give him money even if he did identify himself. Once I was downtown and this black dude in a yellow vest came over and asked for five bucks for parking, and I gave it to him. Later on I went back and he wasn't there. Turns out, it didn't cost any money to park there.
