And once again, I'm proven wrong.
Some slobbering moron tried to back a huge 40 foot truck into our parking garage last week. I was outside on another matter, saw the slobbering moron with the ass end of his truck aimed at the garage and heard his engine start to rev. I managed to stop him and asked what he was doing.
Driver: "I'm trying to get into your loading dock."
Me: (pointing to loading dock that the S.M. just drove past) "That's the loading dock".
Driver: "Are you sure? There's no signage."
Me: (pointing to the sign that says "Loading zone only") "Why does that sign say "Loading zone only?"
Driver: "Oh. Well, can't I go in here this one time?" (pointing to the garage).
Me: "NO! That is the parking garage. Use the loading dock!"
Driver: "Ok. I'll be back in a few minutes. I have to call my boss"
Me: "MOVE THAT TRUCK NOW! YOU'RE BLOCKING THE WHOLE DAMNED PARKING LOT"
Driver moves the truck into the loading dock. Took him 10 minutes.
Afterward, the driver says "You should get a bigger sign".
I replied, "That sign has been there for the better part of the 16 years this building has been standing. I've been here for three years and you are the only driver who tried to ram his truck into the parking garage."
Fortunately, the driver's client appeared at that point and the driver left while I was still able to suppress the desire to smother him with a pillow.
I still shake my head thinking of the damage that would have caused if I hadn't stopped the S.M. Plumbing for the sprinklers, garage door, possibly a pillar or two. Not to mention that the entire parking garage would have been blocked while the truck was jammed in there.
