Well, the BART station just opened up a 2nd parking garage, and so for once I thought I might have a closer than 15 minute walk parking spot to the station. Well, I get to the top (the 8th floor), and after spending a good 5-10 minutes just driving up the thing (*wishes for car elevators*), the parking lot is full. Normally, before the 2nd garage, ther'es an electronic sign saying if it is full or not, but it wasn't working (probably because of thme combining it with the 2nd garage).
But wait, there is one spot left, but a big ole truck is taking up .25 of the spot. My car is tiny, so I manage to squeeze through.
Then, when I return to my car after work, I get this note on my car. "I'd just like to let you know that you parked really close to me. Please spend more time watching where you park."
For some reason, despite its politeness, it still irritated me (Well, only slightly). I guess part of me gets annoyed when I am not allowed a rebuttal to explain the circumstance.
Well, a different more important question, though, is, what's better excerise? Walking up and down 8 flights of stairs, or walking 15 minutes to and from a far parking spot? Driving up the garage, probably wastes a lot of gas, and takes just as long to get to the station, so I'm not saving any time, so where should i park?
