Paid a visit to a favorite agency in NOVA. Misread the parking signs outside the apartment complex and I return to.....no car. Oh, fuck. The sinking feeling of not seeing the car was a real panic moment. However....

Called the booker and ask "Who handles the towing at this apt. complex?" She doesn't know, but will call me back. Nothing on the parking signs at apt. complex about what towing company they use, and the clubhouse is closed on Saturday. Great. My excuse for being out of the house on a Saturday afternoon has a short time fuse. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Breath. Think. Okay, google "apt complex name towing" on iPhone. A few clicks later BINGO.

Booker calls back. Her "friend" is coming to pick me up; he knows where the towing company is located.

Meantime, I call "Al's Towing" (really). Yes, they have my car. So, not stolen, thank god, but it's $150 to get it back. Huh, that great deal K-girl rate suddenly looks a bit more expensive.

Booker calls back, her friend is arriving. I get in, he's a nice young guy who runs a "Korean Taxi", sort of transport to Korean restaurants, brings home people who've had to much to drink there, etc. iPhone again with Google Maps because the driver doesn't actually know where the towing place is, then 10 minutes to the towing, they lighten my wallet, I drive home.

Lessons: (1)read the damn parking signs better(!!), (2) stay calm, the car wasn't stolen, which was what I thought for a few horrible moments, (3) deal with reputable people; agency response was great, they paid for the "Korean taxi" and promised a discount next time even though this was clearly all my fault. (PM if you want to know agency)

In the end, aside from the extra expense and few moments of panic(!), it was a great time; review soon.

..haven't had that happen while hobbying, but it did while I split an apartment utr with a coworker.

Talk about waking up to a surprise!!

Don't ever panic over little things like that. LOL
Glad it worked out. You can praise that agency for sure!

You post a lot of opinionated crap on here despite not actually putting any reviews in, so far all we know you've never actually taken the plunge and visited a provider.

Losing your car is not a "little thing" unless you're single or your SO doesn't care where you are and how long you're gone. For the average guy who's looking for some fun time away from the wife, we need a pretty decent alibi or to take advantage of when the ol' lady is out of the house.

If the car had been stolen, that's good reason for panic mode. Now there's a police report to fill out, and I'd recommend being honest about where it was stolen from. They might not care why you were there, but the wife will (more lies on top of lies, hope you can think fast and remember them all). Not to mention the extra time it would take; that 2 hour movie you said you were going to somehow took 4 hours. Luckily that wasn't the case here, and he was working with a solid agency who could help him out.

We know the risks going in but secretly hope nothing will go wrong. Don't be so quick to dismiss someone's emotional state when you've never been there.

You're right! I've never seen anyone ?!?! Like anyone is going to believe you!!! LMAO

You are a FUNNY GUY!  You sure are    LOL. LOL

Sucks how you are married OLD man. I'm sure your daughters are proud of you!!!  Please find girls your own age. LOL


LOL

So if you have seen someone and you're single, isn't that sadder? At least we can find girls without money.

LOL

But yeah, if I were an OLD 50 year single guy who cannot get any ladies attention without any money, I wouldn't be proud. However, that is not the case with me! Hehe

LOL

Agreed! But I'm glad everything worked out for Xray.

I'm venturing to guess that this was ILH. Amy and Miki are professional, considerate, and both very friendly. That kind of customer service goes a long way!

Tell them to stop stalking me please!

This isn't the comments section of a YouTube video or a group of /b/-tards on 4chan. This schoolyard "nanny nanny boo boo" shit is not working out the way you think it is. You're making yourself look like an exaggerating self-indulgent child, and people here have pretty good memories when it comes to reputations like this. It's not even funny, it's embarrassing.

Or you can keep going down this path, tell us about your 10" hard-on and the models you fuck, your massive paychecks, your 6-pack abs, and any other fairy tale you can make up to try to impress these folks. The sad thing is that it doesn't matter if it's true, you're spouting the kind of egotistical garbage that anonymous Internet tough guys use to try to look cool.

So by all means keep proving my point in my original post, and keep using those LOL's everywhere because you're the only one laughing. The better option would be to act like an adult.

@blucielo - thanks for bringing this thread back on topic

@xray84 - thanks for the info.  It seems like most of the k-girls frequent a couple large apartment complexes in Annandale.  I've never had a problem parking but now I know to be wary.  BTW, I lived in a condo complex that used Al's Towing.  The agreement was Al's trucks go through the parking areas and have carte blanche to tow any car that doesn't have a proper parking sticker.  All towing fees go to Al's but they gave the condo association a cut.

And I sympathize.  If it were me, I would have had to tell a whopper of story to cover up.  But I'm glad alls well and that the agency made an effort to help you.

only worse, if that's even possible.
