Entitled hockey fan
This happened years ago, but makes me chuckle every time I think of it.
We were attending a hockey game on New Year’s Eve at a somewhat legendary but old arena.
It had an attached parking structure with access from a ramp directly off the freeway.
This involved merging two lanes into one, with a turnoff to get to the surface street just before the entrance.
This man noticed a car trying to cut the line in front of them.
The team was great at the time, and it was a holiday, so it was packed.
We patiently inched forward, waiting our turn to fork over our cash and park.
Well, after the merge should have taken place, a car crept up on the shoulder on our left.
Clearly intending to cut in front of us.
The parking attendant held up a sign that said parking was already full.
The parking attendant wasn’t born yesterday and had an appropriately devious turn of mind.
He turned the sign around to read “LOT FULL,” directly in front of this guy’s car.
He took the turnoff and shot off, tires squealing.
We were about to follow him when the attendant turned the sign back around.
He smiled and said, “I wasn’t going to let him skip the line on you.”
He gave the attendant a hefty tip for not allowing the other car to cut the line.
Needless to say, we gave him a hefty tip in addition to the wildly overpriced parking.
And it made my night, even though our team lost.
If only that guy could have been hit with an errant puck into the stands.
Wow! The parking attendant deserved the hefty tip.
OP surely felt satisfied with how the attendant helped get rid of the rude driver.
