You’ve just been towed from the parking lot of the local dry cleaner for being parked there after hours, WELL after hours, as in 11pm at night after hours when the business in question closed at 5pm.
What do you do?
WHADDA YOU DO?!
Well, how about you claim you’re an employee and were working there? Which is a dubious claim indeed, as several things are not quite kosher with that claim,
-The lights in the store were off and it was long closed, nobody in this town does dry cleaning services at 11pm, the “city that never sleeps” is New York, not this quaint little ‘burg.
-Your car has out-of-state-plates
-I’ve never seen it before
-It didn’t have an employee permit in the car, which all other known employees of that store have.
-All the other employee cars left by 5:15 that day, and when I drove by that lot at 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00, it was still empty, only for your car to suddenly materialize in that lot at 10:45pm
-You’re clearly intoxicated, so much so it can be deduced from a phone call alone, much less a face-to-face meeting.
Needless to say, nice try, but like Agent Mulder, you were not believed.
Your encore was cute too. You demand that we call the “owner” of the dry cleaning place, at a number you provided, only connected us to your equally drunk buddy, who from ambient background noise and other clues sounded to be standing next to you on the sidewalk, and therefore, was clearly not the owner.
Why do they always try to grow a brain after it’s clearly too late?
What do you do?
