Clamping business

Early this week my car got clamped. Parking has been a problem at my workplace A ever since kereta nasional dijual macam goreng pisang, deposit seribu and buy one get one free what have you. For people like me yg tak yah masuk kerja at 8, you'd be lucky if you get to park near the building where your office is...most of the times, nak sampai ke office dah peluh ketiak bagai. In fact my BFF recently parked so far away agaknya tempat yg jarang org datang bertandang because she fell on her bum after slipping on some lumut. So back to my car, at lunchtime i received a lot of smses from colleagues and staff saying that they saw my car being clamped. I wasn't in anyone's parking or blocking anyone's car or the traffic. In fact tempat tu cam ada unspoken rule thou shall park there if thou dah pusing bagai nak gila tapi tak dapat gak parking...At that time i was at the office, decided to skip lunch because nak habiskan kerja. Perut dah lapar so of course bulu roma tengkuk naik bila dapat berita buruk tu kan? I waited until after i dah solat zohor, doa bercupak supaya i tak jadi incredible hulk bila berurusan dgn pak guard2 gila kuasa.

So i called them up first. Spoke to one guy and was passed to his colleague. Antara nak pass tefon tu sempat lak i dengar mamat tu cakap, 'ni ha **(title Cik Kiah) yang bawak keta ** (jenis keta) merah tu.' Amboi! Ko tau ko clamp keta sapa kan??! So i asked nicely kenapa la keta saya diclamp when i tak menyusahkan sesapa pun. I was told that i was not suppposed to park there. I cakap kat mana saya nak park bila dah memang takde parking? He said, ** (tCK) kenalah usaha jugak cari'. Eh?? jadi keroje i pulak nak berkeroje cari parking before i start keroje..


Then i said, dah la parking sikit, lepas tu ada sesetengah staff dari hospital sebelah yg pagi2 masuk kawasan kita, park keta and pas tu keluar gate. You all tak nampak ke? ' The park guard said, mmmm..kami tak boleh halang public daripada gunakan laluan dari pintu depan ke pintu belakang'...ish ish..sungguh tak menjawab soalan. I said, ni bukan org jalan kaki, ni org yg drive masuk, park and then jalan kaki ke hospital sebelah. So what are you going to do about it?

The pak guard said, 'ini kami akan pantau...kalau **(tCK) nampak, bagitau kami and kami akan clamp (ewah ewah dah clamp happy nampaknya). Cik Kiah masih gak nak bagi sedas,camana you all nak pantau? Saya tengok tak pernah ada guard pun jaga pintu belakang??'

Then i decided that i could still be arguing with them until i'm blue in the face but keta tu takkan diunclamp sampai la i bayar denda (because dah tulis chit dah...waaa..ini lebih teruk dari saman traffic..at least saman traffic boleh dapat discount). So i heret a junior to drive me to the pondok keselamatan because no way i nak catwalk2 depan depa pas tu having them mengutuk aku kat belakang..ha padan muka keta merah tu kena clamp.

I said to my junior, kalau i saja nak jadi gila, i nak je tinggalkan keta i tu kat parking sampai end of the week and i rela pi balik umah naik ERL, monorail what have you, just to protest. Eh janganlah Cik Kiah katanya..

You know what, lain kali i nak bagi je kunci keta i kat pak guard bila i datang pagi2 and ask them to solve the problem of where i should park my car.Buat diaorg cam car jockey tak bertauliah..hahaha..i might you know..

P/S Clamp yg dilekatkan kat keta i masih berplastik lagi..punya le keluar dari lemari nampaknya..saja dengki!
