I got the clamp AGAIN!

i should have listened to the tiny voice that was speaking in my head.... for a short short moment, after parking my car along double yellowline, in the corner of a possible fire engine box, next to the "HIGHPRESSURE" room.... i had a voice that says... what if u get a wheel clamp??

I fought back the voice and rationalised that i cant be that SWAY. afterall, my car has stormed through a gleneagles wheel clamp, a GIS wheel clamp.... it wont be sooooooo SWAY wan lah.

true enough after 30mins, i came back to pick up my car and i saw a nice orange sticker on my window, a nice pink "summon" thoughtfully wrapped up in a plastic bag and of course the CLAMP on my wheel!

AGRHHHH!!!

I should have LISTENED. or I should have BEEN earlier so that I wont have to rush through my day, so that I can at least park 1km away and WALKED.

sigh...

my lab buddy (new one hee... quite cute looking somemore....) he was kinda sweet, he walked me to the PAY counter and back to the car and along the way cheering me up with some interesting questions...

1. WHERE does the FINE $$ go to?? or to WHO???

2. WHO has the "unclamp" keys if that security guy at the car park who obivously SAW the whole clamping episode did not have?

3. WHY cant a car park next to the "HIGHPRESSURE" room when there are car park lots just 5m away from it? does it mean that the pressure will just disappear into the mid-air in 5m?? (that was the "reason" that the security guy brought up for clamping me)

4. WHAT does the security do for the day? Do they hide in some dubious corner and pounce on unsuspecting cars like mind?

5. HOW come the Lexus which was parked at the EXACT same SPOT the day before did not the the clamp but my lousy M'sian made 14yr car got it? Does it mean that the european car makers got some special casing that protects the car but not mine?

I was just wondering if the Lexus did not get the clamp because someone was afraid that it belongs to someone HIGH up there and not try to offend anyone... whereas they knew that no one big deal will drive a 14yr car.... heh.... *rub hands* *got chance to use the clamp*

wonder wonder......
