i am ill and have been for over a week. Today i drove from 16 miles west of brighton to an office we have in the thames gateway region of london. i set off at just past 7am
when i get there, i am faced with a security guard - (he likes to think he is important - but spends the time in between talking to people watching a mini tv) "you can't park there" says he.
"where can i park?" says i
cue sucky lip noises"weeeelllll you could park in the directors space....buuuuut he might not be happy"
"i'll take my chances" says i in between coughing my fucking RING up and crossing my legs becuase i have no pelvic floor and i just might piss in the lobby
i put car in space.
thats only the beginning!
an average regional manager starts making noises regarding parking so i ask whether its me who is in his spot.after a brief chat we agree it is me.
i am still coughing up my lower intestine - my nose has sores on - my face swollen through my sinusitis.
he directs me to a car park through a one way system unknown to me - but in actualy fact in only 2 mins away. he then tells me he is leaving in about 2 hours - but then so was i
he walks into lift before me, walks out before me, opens door and walks through before me - i then am faced with a v. peculiar scene.
he parked his car at the side of mine - blocking everything and everyone.
all this time i am coughing and spluttering.
when i find my way to carpark the 2 hour fee is......£1
i know if i was in his position - knowing the area, seeing a collegue dying of a cold - i wudda said " never mind please bare it in mind next time - but i'll nip round to car park"
i think this guy was a complete arse - no manners nd no consideration.
its a close call so i know some will disagree - but i am v. ill - and i couldnt miss my meeting.
anyway - told dh and he offered to piss all over his car.
i was tempted but the drive is too long
