I discovered last night that there are a couple of complete idiots working for the Calgary Parking Authority. My husband and I were attending a Stampede party at Fort Calgary. Anybody familiar with Calgary knows it can be very hard to find parking, even at the best of times, so we decided to take a chance and park in the CP Rail parking lot. We knew we could be seeing a lovely parking ticket on the windshield at the end of the night, but that was a risk we were willing to take.

When we left the party, we got a much bigger surprise than a parking ticket. A couple of complete morons working for the Calgary Parking Authority thought it would be a great idea to not only ticket vehicles, but to block the only exit with their cars. There was absolutely no possible way to get out of the parking lot! I have never been so irate in all my life. Anybody with half a brain would realize that was NOT a good idea. What if there had been an emergency?

The idiots who blocked the entrance couldn’t be found, so we finally had to resort to calling the Parking Authority. We waited, and we waited, and we waited some more. By the time someone finally showed up, there were several people lined up in their vehicles waiting (very impatiently) to get out. Needless to say we gave the guy a piece of our mind, but he just shrugged it off without a care in the world.

I’d like to thank the Calgary Parking Authority, not only for the ticket, but for forcing me to get to bed way later than I had intended, leaving me very grumpy and tired for work!
