A minor taste of justice

Arrived at work today, only to find some jerk (ND628-783) parked in my RESERVED parking at work. Just on principle, I am tempted to vomit all over the driver's seat and stage a miniature protest all day long chanting "hell no you must go, hell no you must go", but I know that would be pointless, because I'm fairly certain this car belongs to some GEOLOGY field-trip participant, and I'd be wasting my breath for a week.

At any rate, I have done the next best thing - parked him in! Again, this may be pointless, but I feel a bit better about it (except that our car presently is uninsured since we are in that transitional insurance period). Oh, and what's more, the security guard on duty has now reacted by organising the car to be clamped.

Check out my moment of justice (I snapped my proud moment - do you think he'll get the message? I'm the white Honda Jazz at the fore)! At least now if the guy's around, he'll have to be inconvenienced to find me and wait for me. I pay good money for that parking bay!

UPDATE: The jerk was a guy called Neil from MATHEMATICS (some student); he had to ask my secretary to phone me to move my car. I took my sweet time and about twenty minutes later I came down to find the scallywag having a puff and waiting diligently for me to move. I said "howzit" and moved my car. He's lucky they hadn't clamped his wheel by then. Grrrrr.

  1. ... why would you be tempted to vomit all over your own driver's seat? Wouldn't that be terribly icky? I assume you're not talking about vomiting on the other guy's seat, because no-one in their right mind leaves their windows open in South Africa.

    Seriously though, a mathematics student? You should have told him how much the parking bay costs per month and insisted he work out how much he owed you in rent. If he couldn't do it before the guy arrived with the wheel clamp them obviously he fails the exercise ;)

  2. And I should have ended off with "... your actions are causing division within the Faculty, and you can COUNT on that!" ... next time he shows up I'll charge him :)
