I went to go see a movie the other day. I was trying to kill time while the plumbers screwed around with the pipes (see future posting for more on that). Anyhow, when I got to the mall, I pulled into the parking structure, knowing full well that I would be staying well-past the allotted one hour of free parking. But that wouldn’t be a problem. As I recalled, the movie theater would validate my ticket for three hours. I had plenty of time. Or so I thought. When I walked up to the ticket booth, there was a sign posted on the counter. It read: “Parking Validation Is No Longer Necessary.” That was nice. Then I read on: “One Hour Of Free Parking. $2 For First Four Hours Thereafter.” Let me translate: We Don’t Want To Pay For Your Fucking Parking Anymore. So, Unless Your Movie Is Less Than An Hour, You’re Gonna Have To Shell Out Two Bucks.” I hate confusing signs like that. They want it to seem like they’re doing you a favor when in reality they’re just being dicks. Bullshit Signs suck.

Oh, now that’s crafty. Folks here in M-town aren’t that smart. Or maybe they are.
They just sit in the parking lot or structure in a lawn chair with a cooler of beer and threaten to sic their dog on you iffin you don’t give them at least $5-10 to park your car, or more likely, truck.
Yeah, I guess that whole issue with people not going to the movies as much anymore doesn’t affect this theater. They can afford to piss off a few patrons. I mean, ticket prices are high enough as it is without tacking on another two bucks. What sucks is I’ll probably keep going there.
