Oh, no, no -- I was talking to the ticket machine

Last night I was pulling into a parking structure I'd used once before, and I realized that last time I'd very adamantly flicked off the car behind me for no reason at all.

The first time I drove into that parking structure, I pushed the little button and just as the ticket came out of the slot and I was about to retrieve it, the car behind me honked. This made me very annoyed, and frankly, angry, so I flicked him off. Then I realized it was dark and he might not have seen my basic, inside-the-car finger, so I stuck my arm out the open window and flicked him off some more.

Last night when I drove into that parking structure, I pushed the little button and just as the ticket came out of the slot and I was about to retrieve it, the car behind me honked. Only there was no car behind me.

And that's when I realized the ticket machine makes a little honking sound as it dispenses the ticket.

And that's when I began to feel a little bit like a bitch.

& I was there to witness this revelation! :)

btw, don't feel too bad - I'm sure the person in the car behind you last time had a good laugh at your adamant flicking off. :-P
