Today, I parked my car in a garage that cost $13 for every 10 minutes past 10 o'clock. When I came back to the garage at 10, I had forgotten where I parked it and spent an hour looking for it. I paid $78 to lose my car. FML

what kind of parking lot is that?! so expensive! parking is free in philippines and rates are charged hourly or every 30 minutes in hong kong (random fact: an hour's parking is 12 pennies) 13 bucks for 10 minutes is pretty intense. It's over a dollar for every minute wtf!

My guess is that the parking garage CLOSES at 10, and the exorbitant fee is meant to get people out quicker, so any attendants aren't stuck waiting half an hour for those 4 car owners who are dragging their feet. I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me. This would also mean that the garage would probably be close to empty by this time, or else there are a LOT of wealthy people parking there. So I would think it would be easier to find your car... So, YDI for not playing it safe and getting there earlier (got there AT 10?), and for apparently parking in the largest parking garage on the planet (seriously, an HOUR??).

deadmau5 remembers everything, especially where he parked his car.

#23: I agree. Everyone is acting like the garage charges $13/10min at all times.

Do you not have one of those things that makes the car beep so you can find it. That might be usfull.

YDI. Also, even if this is true, most parking places, especially if they charge THAT much, have a maximum pay limit, say, $30, however long you stay... so I say you're making at least half of this up.

#9, it's possible they didn't have an alarm. I mean, I don't have one of those clicky things to lock my car and unlock them. I have to do it manually. If I really wanted one...I could go buy one...But, I'm just sayin, they may not have a clicky thing to do that. Also, We all have those moments. FYL

Are you serious!? It took you one hour to find your car!? (78/13=6 6*10 = 60 minutes) really? i doubt it

we figured it out before... *ding* thank you for commenting.

Omg, Hope your car got VIP treatment with a wax inclusive. Joh, that sux. Seriously, i've never heard of a place that charges so much every 10 min. That's insane. Question, how many other cars were in the lot after 10? Just curious

I have trouble believing any parking lot would charge $13 per 10 minutes, who would pay that much??? This is ridiculous if it's true though =(
