Thank you to the couple who helped me start my car at 1 a.m. on Sunday

After a long Saturday at PAX I returned to my car only to find that my cab light had been left on all day and my battery was at death's door. Had it not been for the equally-exhausted couple in the silver SUV with Oregon plates I would have been stuck there all night, or at least for another $10 of parking.
Guys, I know you were tired, but I deeply appreciate the time you took to smoosh your car in the space next to mine to give my car the jump it needed to get me home. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! I hope the rest of your weekend was awesome, because knowing there were friendly people like you at the expo helped me relax for the rest of mine.
Regards,
The chick in the maroon Blazer who had her own jumper cables (thanks, dad!) at the Meridian parking garage

But it comes with quite an infuriating story:
Our friend was parked at the Impark lot under the convention centre and we grabbed our car and some cables (thanks to the dudes that lent them to us btw) and told the attendant we needed to jump a car. He said "oh, so you're not parking?" and we said "no" then he said "okay, you can get out that way." and pointed to the exit behind us (idiot). Once we told him again that we needed to give someone a boost, he said okay but told us to take a ticket and if we were in there longer than 10 mins, then we would have to pay. So we took the damn ticket, were in there for LESS than 10 mins and went to leave. We couldn't find our ticket right away and as we were looking for it he said "Well.. if you can't find it.. It will be $31" (this is the asshole that saw us enter in the first place.) So when we find the ticket and give it to him, he says "That will be $10." We flip out, and he says we were in there for "12 mins"... (honestly, you want 10$ for 12 minutes!?!) Long story short, we put the car into park.. refused to pay.. and watched several cars pile up behind us. We didn't give that dude a cent. Next year, I won't be going anywhere near that lot and I suggest you boycott it as well.
I wonder what he would have done if you had gotten out of your car, walked over to the ticket dispenser, pulled a new ticket, and handed that one to him. "THERE YOU GO FUCKER NOW I'VE ONLY BEEN IN HERE FOR THIRTY SECONDS"
There's an episode of Frasier that's pretty much identical to this. You should watch it.

I'm totally using that next time.
Me: "Don't you mean the one in Cheers?"
Everyone Else: "No, Frasier."
"Oh. I get it. The Cheers bar. Awesome."
"Frasier. It was a spinoff."
"Ah yeah. That Cheers bar. It had Phoebe's twin in it."
"..."
"Oh wait. That's Mad About you."
"..."

GOD that sucks! It's hard to tell which parking garages in Seattle are going to have helpful or obnoxious staff. I only picked the garage I was in because it was 24hr -- the price I paid for that was the 22-point turn my good samaritans had to do to get into (and out of) the tiny space next to mine. I shoulda biked in. A stolen bicycle wouldn't have caused nearly as much trouble as a dead battery did.
hah! I remember part of that conversation, it was pretty good.
