Has anyone else gotten abuse from Wilson's carpark employee?

**madbikeboy** · 19th February 2008, 07:27

Just rode my scoot into a Wilson's carpark in town, I pay $4000 a year for the space, and I alternate between car and scoot. So, being a reasonable sort of person, I tend to park on a space that a car couldn't use, this leaves one more free car space for my co-workers.

Anyhow, this guy is undoing a firehouse at the end of the carpark, I park as normal, then he wanders across and starts swearing at me - seems he was about to clean the space but the "fucking biker" is in his way.

So, I park the bike somewhere else, he continues to swear and yell at me.

I gave him some lip back (of course). He points the hose near me, but is wise enough to not spray me or scoot. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that the guy is a beer short of a dozen.

So, I've called the Operations Manager for Wilsons to let them know my view. Has anyone else had this happen from this retard? If so, let me know - I got the impression that Mr Sunshine didn't like bikes/bikers for some reason and I'll bet this wasn't the first time.

MBB.

OK, seriously, man, what is it with calling your gixxer a 'scoot'?

Are you Murkn?

Long story. If you say GSXR1000YZFR1ZX10R, non-bikers eyes glaze over. If you say scoot, they assume scooter. Which is non-threating. And I'm secure in my masculinity. If anyone asks what I ride directly, bikers get told the truth, non-bikers get told a slightly modified vespa.

*Gotten*?? What rampant arcane American nonsense is that? The BDOTGNZA are sharpening their spears.

The BDOTGNZA need to firmly set their rules. It wasn't too long ago when they were accepting this "arcane" word.

Nothing a jolly good stabbing wouldn't fix.

Sounds like someone who has trouble grasping the concept that the people who buy parks there are paying his wages.

Ignore the fuckwit... I'm quite sure I could work out how to was a parking space around a bike...

Sounds like the guys one of the less evolved of our species.

My bad. I say Ta - may - to and aluminum too. Too much American influence I think (actually, it's So-Cal influence, which is different from the rest of the US).

Yes, quite. That's why I'm annoyed. I pointed the fact out to the guy early in the discussion, he seemed to have failed the required logic courses to make the connection between what I was saying and his situation. He will likely rethink once he hears from the Ops Manager.

Make sure you follow up in writing.

Did you notice that the government has just imposed tougher sentences for Taggers?

I'm thinking of stabbing some errant cagers who risk my life. I wonder how long it will be before the sentences increase for them.

And while we're at it - country music and shortland street. And boy racers with big bores.

In case anyone misses the humour inherent in the post - I'm joking, I don't advocate stabbing people as a resolution. Knives are dangerous, you can slip and cut yourself. Use firearms instead
