Platinum Parking San Antonio

[Spurminator]

Had a nice return to San Antonio with my parents, wife, brother and nephews. Went to a Spurs game one night, next day saw all of the new Alamo stuff, had some margs, then went back to get my car to find that it had been towed 2 minutes after my 4-hour session expired from a mostly empty lot near Rivercenter.

Anyone else have issues with this? I don't even care about the money, just the principle.

I get that 2 minutes late is still late, but it's pretty fucked up in a city that relies on tourism. For a lot of people, $240 is substantial. Looks like I'm not the first to complain to the media about it.

Any ideas for how to exact revenge? (in a non-criminal way, of course.) I have free time, resources, and a possibility unhealthy fixation when it comes to antagonizing assholes, and I kinda want to make these predators' lives hell for a while.

Oh and if you work for VMS, Creswell's Wrecker Service, or any company that employs similar practices to make money, you're a piece of shit and you should get another job.

on the topic of ranting about parking, can somebody explain to me why about 20% of the population has a pathological urge to always back into parking spots? its annoying af and slows the lot down. are you getaway drivers who need a fast escape? do you like having access to your trunk restricted? make it make sense!

like yeah if its an empty lot and can you basically drive thru one parking spot and wind up in a "backed up" position so you can leave more easily later, sure... but backing into a spot in a congested lot just slows traffic and makes it more likely something will go wrong while parking

People who drive large trucks claim it is easier to back in and pull out rather than pull in and back out, but I'm not quite sure how it would be any more difficult personally. Never driven a large truck though
