clamped
don't you hate it when the exciting thing that happens in your day is the bad kind of exciting? the kind where you have to ring a phone number and get some guy to come out and remove the wheel clamp that's on your car?
i had that kind of exciting day.
i parked at Queensgate, like i usually do if there's a chance of rain, 'cos then i don't have to walk far in the rain to get to my car after work. i even moved my car at lunchtime so i wasn't in the same parking space for over 4hrs (the Queensgate parking time limit).
but it wasn't enough. my car got clamped! suck!
boohoo...poor me :o(
it got a bit interesting though, 'cos i only had to pay $95, and then this conversation between the wheel clamp guy (wcg) and me happened:
wcg: "so where do you work?"
me: "EMC up on Dudley Street."
wcg: "you've been a hard one to catch."
me: "eh?"
wcg: "you move around too much."
which can mean one of two things: (1) they've actually been on to my Queensgate parking scam for a while, but were too dumb to catch me 'til now, or (2) he thought that i was some kind of fish.
on the plus side, i know how the Queensgate parking guys chalk your car...they chalk (at least) one tyre, then if you've got a towbar, they chalk that too! and if you don't they chalk your exhaust! so look out for chalk in more than one place if you're planning on staying in a carpark for longer than the limit.
at least my car didn't get towed!
