My sister called me all pissed off this morning coz she just learned that the parking in front of Virgin Megastores downtown where she parks has been taken over by valets. You are not allowed to park your car yourself at any time of the day apparently. If you want to park the car in the downtown parking lot for an entire day, you now have to pay 9,000 LL and give them the keys to your car…

I personally wouldn’t give my car to any valet. I’d rather park a kilometer away and walk.

I once went to Khaymet el Sanyour in Antelias for breakfast, and the valet guy had just gotten to the work on his mobilette. So he came to my car and handed me a number. I told him I’d rather park it myself, he then says “shou mfakkara Porsche?” (“You think you’re driving a Porsche?”) The guy is driving a mobilette and is giving me crap about my car… wtf…
