Like to share an incident that happened to me very recently. In
fact so recent that I've yet received my mailed in summon!
I was at Guthrie House at Sixth Avenue to pick up a Jap client of
mine. The carpark was full and the security guard didn't allow any
cars to go in. The problem is that I told that Jap guy to wait in
the basement due to his big luggage. Didn't want a big client to
drag such a big luggage everywhere. I tried stopping at the
driveway but there was another guard there telling me to move
off.
I had no choice, that jap guy did not have a cell phone here, but
to park on the single zig zag line. I switched on my hazard lights
and ran to the lift lobby to catch the life to the basement carpark
to help my client bring his luggage up.
KNS, just when I came out of the building, I saw a cisco guard
about to enter my car licence into his handheld. I shouted at him
that I am coming, but he ignored and continue to do his stuff.
Guess what, I went up to him and started to explain why I had to
park there, he didn't even looked at me, just continue punching in.
KNNBCCB, what kinda of attitude is that!?
My Jap client was as bewildered as me. He asked me whether this
behaviour of traffic wardens is common. There was another RX300 in
front of me, that poor lady was actually helping her old mom push
the Cold Storage trolley out to the car, she too was explaining to
the other traffic warden, and got the same expressionless
response.
All in all, the time taken by me from coming out of my car and
coming back was barely 5 mins!! I think these wardens are way too
overzealous, especially when we had practically no choice but to
park our cars there for a while!
