I need to tell someone this story because I’m withering away in embarrassment. Yesterday I went on a date with this person I’ve been seeing for the past month or so. When planning a date this week I offered to book him a parking space in a garage near my building to help save him trying to find street parking. Keep in mind, this was the only part of the date I actually had to plan. So once he arrived at the garage I helped him find the spot and we went to dinner & drinks. 3 hours later we come back and we’re heading to his car only to turn the corner and the spot is empty. I’m speechless because I thought I this was the spot I booked and also I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone get towed that fast from this lot. In a panic, I’m checking the app I booked the spot through and there I realized my grave mistake.
The spot I told him to park in was spot 357. The spot I had actually rented was 375. I had managed to get my date’s car towed from the lot because I was illiterate during my pre-date jitters. After profusely apologizing to him, I grabbed my keys and proceeded to drive him 30 minutes home since I was the one at fault. He was such a good sport about the whole thing but I genuinely would’ve been happy with the ground swallowing me whole at that moment. I’ve since called the tow lot no minimum 4 times and have already told him that I will be paying for the fee to get the car back.
TL;DR Didn’t read a number properly and got my date’s car towed from a lot at 10pm on a weeknight.
