i've a question for car owners regarding my fren's "habits".
my frens and i arranged to meet at chinatown today and i was
waiting at chinatown today at 5pm. den at 5:30pm, my fren called me
and insisted i go over to outrum park to meet him because he
doesn't know where to park his car. den i told him i've no idea and
asked him to come over asap. he does not accept so i got pissed
off.
den later, he asked my other frens to join him in his car park
adventure. den somehow, they went over to suntec. and insisted two
of us (whom are at chinatown) to go over to suntec. so i asked him,
why couldn't he park there and come over to chinatown instead since
there were more activities at chinatown. he refused and insisted us
to go over. in the end, we waded through the crowds and took mrt
over. his reason for not coming over: because he drove, and he
refuse to move anywhere from his car's location.
question is: if you were him, would you mind
parking your car and take mrt from city hall to
chinatown?
Actually I would mind. Coz parking charges at both places
similar. Whats more must waste $ to take MRT.
But personally, I feel, as a driver who has driven
virtually everyday for the last 3 years, your friend was at
fault. Having a car is not a big deal and he shouldn't ask others
to go to somewhere, last minute, just because of parking issues. If
he wanted to change location at the last minute, he should have
went down to pick the both of you up and go to the new
location.
If not, he should think about both of your feelings and try to
find a parking lot in the Chinatown vicinity. Sometimes, I even
park somewhere further and take a 5 min walk if I have to to the
destination where my friends are meeting if there is no parking lot
nearby. I am, personally, against the idea of waiting 10-20 mins at
a congested carpark just for a parking lot.
