Parking attendant strikes back!

Went for another durian session last friday. This time, with Kean Leong (an old colleague of mine). We went to the durian seller that had set up his stall right outside the sunshine market. My fren had called him up earlier to book two 'bitter' durians, just the way i like them.
We ended up having one D15 and another D18. Both were bitter alright. But the D15 is much tastier (coming from me, means it is more bitter), than the D18. But the D15 was quite soggy, while a few pieces of the D18 were quite dry. If only we could combine the two durians, it would hv been perfect! But i hv to be careful with my statements nowdays, lest i be call 'si yeh' again! ;)

Anyway, after we were done with the durians and chit chatting, catching up with what we had been up to, we cleared up and went to the car. We had paid the parking attendant 60cents earlier for an hour of parking. But we ended up staying quite late, and I fully expected that we will have to pay for another 1/2 hr more. But to my surprise the attendant demanded that we pay for 1hr more! I argued that we had not stayed that long, but he showed me the ticket that stated that we had been parking there since 6pm. My god!!! I was still in the office at 6pm. We only left at 6:15, and due to the jam at the Motorola junction and Kampung Jawa traffic lights, we couldn't hv reached there any earlier than 6:45pm.

I could undertand it if the deviation was about 5 or ten minutes, but by 45mins??? This is daylight robbery ( or since it was in the evening, twilight robbery!!!). When I disputed it, he asked me to look at the serial number of the ticket and said the timing for tickets around that serial number was indeed 6pm. Well, that make perfect sense considering he was the one who has back-timed all the tickets. Just imagine how much extra he has conned just over that 1 hour plus.

Christ... ppl nowdays. But i guess it was payback time for the few sins that we hv committed, of not paying the attendant when it was raining or when i could not find them around. But still, i was pretty annoyed of being 'robbed' this way.

So ladies and gentlemen, the moral of this experience is, take note of the time you parked your car (especially near the sunshine market). If possible wait for the attendant to write the ticket and check the time. The amount may be small, but we shouldn't be condoning such actions. Okay, everyone???

Btw, i still hv not tried the 301 which is highly recommended by Soo Sean.
Soo Sean, bila nak bawak i makan???
