I circle around the Midway parking lot and Decide on a spot not too near or far from the entrance.

Perfect

Except when I come back to my car, I find myself in a battle with the parking lots ping meter, and it’s not accepting my card .

This is Odd and humiliating

A gang of cars has settled themselves behind me. The most noticeable is a soccer moms orange minivan. The parking attendant is nowhere in sight.

Damn, why the fuck did I park in the lot today today of all days and I’ve gotta go potty it’s gonna happen like this.

These thoughts are bursting in my head like firecrackers each one more punishing the last until the tenant comes to release me from this parparking trap parking trap

Parking trap only his badge doesn’t work, and I’m reacting again punishment myself. Looking for a way out

now if thE orange Subaru reverses at a angle

Yeah, the lot itself is a maze who was this fantastic individual whose plans were to make it difficult for cars behind them to reverse into the appropriate slots. Didn’t he have a reversal scenario in mind?
