Stupid parking machine

We were supposed to have dinner with my dad to celebrate his bday last fri. Since I was a bit tired after work, I decided to take a nap b4 dinner time. I woke up in a jerk and found the whole hse empty….anyway, I called my mom and they said they are in The Curve. My mom misunderstood me that I didn’t wanna go and I didn’t make myself clear to her that I’m joinin them. My fault.

Anyway, after dinner I wanted to pay for my parking ticket. Since I have no small change, I put in $10 in machine. The machine rejected me so I have no choice but to walk to my car and come back with small change (2x 0.50 cents). I inserted the 1st 0.50 cents into the coin slot. Normally the machine will show the remaining balance but somehow the machine still shows $1. So I press the intercom button and a man answered. I dunno whether he is shouting to me or whether the intercom receiver sucks but I calmly told him my situation and he ask me to press the ‘cancel’ button and the money will dropped out. I followed his instructions but no money come out. So I pressed the intercom button again. He didn’t answered me until I pressed for the 5th time. When he does answered, he was practically shouting over the intercom. I didn’t even bother to listen to what he said and I shouted back at him cos the stupid guy don’t even wanna come to take a look at the machine. All eyes were on me but I could n’t care. I bang the stupid machine until I had bruises all my hand. If there were some sticks or bottles or wat ever that I can grab hold at tat time, I’m sure I’ll use…….

I waited for a minute and still no one turn up. I walked out and saw a security guard and I start to rant about my situation. He was pretty calm and ask me “Apa masalah sekarang?” (“what is the problem?”), so I just said “Saya hanya ada 0.50 sen, Macamana nak keluar?” (“I only have 0.50 cents. How am I suppose to get out?”). Of course, I don’t want to say I still have $10 in my wallet after tehe stupid guy over the intercom shouted at me. He was holding a walkie talkie so I asked him to tell the guard at the exit to open the gate and I will pass to him the remaining 0.50 cents. Maybe I appear to him as a mad woman at that time so he don’t dare to tell me that it’s not possible. The next thing I know, he took out his wallet and give me $1. I was stunned. It was not like I don’t have money but bcos I was so bloody piss, I took the $1 and gave him my remaining 0.50 cents and thanked him.
