i spent 7 hours inside my car today. no, not on the road -> in a parking lot. the only times i went out were to buy food and drinks. i didn't want to linger around other people though so i just ate and drank in the car.
i was going to have my car emission tested, a requirement for vehicle registration. i was there at 8:01 a.m. and given queue number 95 at the gate. then at the counter, the guy told me to just come back at 2:00 p.m.
i may not be able to get parking again if i leave. that has happened to me in previous years. i had to resched because i had nowhere to park.
i therefore decided to just wait it out. there were seats outside but i opted to stay in the car.
there i was trying all sorts of positions for a comfortable nap to no avail. 3/4 of the car was under direct sunlight. only the part behind the front passenger seat had some shade. suddenly i deeply appreciated my bed, my pillows, standing up, walking around, everything!
had i known i'll have that much time to while away i would have brought food and a laptop. as it was, i had to buy food from the nearby canteen and make do with browsing on my phone.
when i went back to the counter at 2:00 o'clock, they were still servicing no. 73!
i went back to my car for more waiting.
at long last, i was called at 3:13!
i brought my car to the testing area then so very luckily chanced upon a car vacating road parking after. i took its slot then started waiting again. 3:33 p.m., the results came out -> passed.
ok.
allow me now to rate customer service -> failed.
