Maybe that was a "SIGN"!

Parking in NYC is a part-time job. Since I pretty much already have a job and a half I park my car in a garage so I can avoid driving around in circles for days and nights at a time. The garage is a good 10 minute walk, because frankly I'm cheap and its inexpensive, I call on my walk over so the car will be waiting for me. It's a small garage with a clearly marked "Enter" and "Exit" lane. When I arrived, there was an orange traffic cone blocking the "Enter" lane and a rocket scientist had driven into the "Exit" lane, my car was still up in the garage.  In order to avoid damage to my vehicle, I advised the scientist he might want to move so we could avoid a head on collision in the garage. After much jockeying he finally managed to get his SUV into the space directly in front of the cone blocking the entrance. Then, my car arrived and the attendant informed the scientist that the garage was full. Well, that sent the scientist into a melt down and he proceeded to yell and scream at the attendant that a sign saying "Parking Lot Full" should have been placed in front of the entrance. I got in my car and drove off, oh yeah and sent a parting message to the scientist "Hey Genius! Maybe that orange cone blocking the entrance was a "sign" or do you want Mel Gibson and a crop circle too?"
