So today when I arrived at the carpark, the ticket dispenser at the boom gate was broken. The guy fixing it said for me to just go in. When I asked about a ticket to get out again, he said that someone would let me out after work and I just needed to explain what happened. I left the building, and in my gut I knew that it couldn't be that easy.
Fast forward to 5.30 and I drive down to the exit boomgate.
So I park and get out. I peer through the one way glass of the booth to see if someone is inside (nope)and look for a number to ring to find someone (no number).
Actually there was a number, but it was damn small. Finally got through to the right person who said he would come down and let me out.
So I sat in my car, door open (so they person would know I was the one who called) and waited.
And waited.
And waited.
It was about 30min later that I saw movement in the corner of my eye. I looked over to the booth. As I mentioned, the booth had one way glass, so I could not see in the booth, but I could see a hand sticking out the slot at the bottom of the window.
The hand was waving a ticket.
It takes me a while to click that the hand is waving a ticket for me. So I go over and there is a man there who says the ticket will get me out.
I offer to pay but he says no.
I walk back to my car, wondering if he had been in the booth the whole time. It is then that I notice a Wilson carpark car that had not been there before, which he must of arrived in.
Clearly BZZYBE and I look a bit too intimidating to approach directly, so he only felt safe giving me a ticket from the booth.
I need to try and look less scary.
