WHO do you think you are driving around MY lot?!
Remember Mr Snoop Dog who insisted I couldn't go into his apartment complex and check cars for permits because I didn't have any written authorization? (http://www.customerssuck.com/board/s...ad.php?t=87883) Well, he apparently is a particularly dense example of humanity because he's continued to harrangue me, yelling from his porch every time I drive by that I need to show him ID or else he'll call the cops and I can't be in his lot. Well, the other night he finally snapped. He ran out in front of my vehicle with a baseball bat, blocking me from moving and pretty much didn't mince words on what he thought of me
-OKAY F*CKER, YOU EITHER SHOW ME AUTHORIZATION FOR YOU TO BE HERE OR I'M CALLING THE COPS!
-I do not carry any authorization
-THEN GET THE F*CK OUT OF THIS LOT! YOU CAN'T BE HERE! HAVEN'T I TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE?!
-I'm going nowhere Sir, I have a job to do, I'm checking for permits, just like I told you the last time.
-THEN GIMMIE YOUR NAME AND ID
-I do not have to do that Sir
-THEN GET OUT!
-You do not control how I do my job Sir, and I am going to keep doing it reguardless of what you think of me
-LOOK, EITHER YOU SHOW ME ID OR SOME KIND OF WRITTEN FORM THAT SAYS YOU CAN BE HERE OR I'LL HAVE YOU ARRESTED!!! I ALREADY FILED A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT WITH THE COPS ABOUT YOU! ALWAYS SNEAKING AROUND IN HERE SHINING FLASHLIGHTS INTO CARS! FOR ALL I KNOW, YOU'RE CASING THE JOINT! NOW SHOW SOME ID!
- don't have any that I'm required to show you
-FINE, I"M CALLING THE COPS! DON'T TRY GOING ANYWHERE
Well, half a bottle of Mt. Dew and 3 Pirates batters on the radio later, the cops do show up. I do want to mention that the entire time we were waiting, Mr Tough Guy leaned up against his car with his bat in hand, proud to have me "cornered" so I couldn't "escape" I could hear him giving a description of my vehicle and he even ran around to the back and read the police dispatcher the license plate, which was fine by me, all towing vehicles in this state have special plates that start with the letters "RT", so the cops right off the bat (HA! Pun!) knew it was BS, so they took their sweet ol' time in coming over.
The nice officer comes over to me first and gets my side of the story in about 5 seconds and is, naturally, completely satisfied that I'm not up to anything uncouth
He then goes over to Mr Tough Guy
He was too far away for me to hear much of the conversation but it's obvious from the flailing arms, wild pointing and barely audible "But!.... But!......But!" that he's losing the argument.
About a minute later the cop comes back over, takes my ID/info for his paperwork (he he he) and tells me I'm free to continue with my job.
He departs, and as I drive past a very crestfallen Mr. Tough Guy, he gives me a glare and says
"Thanks a lot! Now the cops are mad at me and you made me look like an idiot!"
No thanks are required citizen, you did that on your own.
Strangely, he's left me alone since then.
WHERE do you think you're going with that?!
So, I was driving down the street when, for reasons that will always be unknown (but I suspect to be my own personal Spider-Sense (tm) ) I glance to my right and see off to the right side of the street a moving van parked in front of a house.
Not that unusual, semester is over, diplomas have been handed out and people are packing to leave, as the dumpsters are overflowing with old CRC computer monitors and moldy foul-smelling sofas.
But what really drew my attention was leaning up by the front door of the house was one of our "PRIVATE PARKING - VIOLATORS TOWED" signs, still attached to it's post, with dirt still clinging to the bottom. Looks like the occupants of said house had pulled it out of the ground somewhere for a free memento to take home. So I check the house number and called up the dispatcher and asked him if 422 Main St was one of our tow-from properties.
"Nope" He said
"So there's no reason why they should have one of our signs then?" I asked
"Nope" he said
"Okay, I just wanted to check with your before I steal back some of our stolen property" I tell him and quickly pull over to the curb.
Nobody was around, the front door was wide open, so everyone must've been inside sorting and boxing and the sign was simply out front "staging" ready to go into the moving van. It took only 5 seconds to run up on the porch, grab the sign, and run it around the corner to the waiting truck.
Sorry boys, you want a sign for your wall? Pay for em' like we do. Because of one-way streets, I had to circle the block to get back to our garage, and by the time I passed the house a second time everyone was at the truck. Don't know if they noticed their missing "souveneir", but they will, and I'll laugh a bit more when they do.
Say "WHAT" again! I double-dog DARE you!
- This is Argabarga, I believe someone called from this number looking for a car from 202 Woods St
-Yes and I want to know WHY it was towed! I was in the right space!
-Your car was called into us for not having a permit
-WHAT?
-Your car did not have a permit for that lot
-WHAT?
-To park at 202 Woods St you either need a visitors permit or a resident permit, cars that display neither can be towed
-WHAT?
-You were towed for not having a permit
-WHAT?
-You were called into us by the person who checks the lot for your car not having permits to park there
-WHAT? Someone checks that lot? Who, what, Who called me in?
-The lot monitor, there's a person who checks that lot
-WHAT?
-You didn't have a permit, so your car was towed, it will be $115 to pick up
-Can I ask WHY it's going to cost me $115? You JUST towed it only like an hour ago!
-$115 is the fee for being towed for illegal parking, wether you get towed 1 block or 10 miles, it'll cost $115, that's the rate set by borough ordinance
-UGH! *click*
Too bad, I was about to ask her if they spoke English in "What"?
WHEN does happy hour start?
I'm going to need a tall one after all this week, and I don't even DRINK!!!!
