Today, I drove to school early in the morning hopefully could reserve a parking at S block. By 8am I managed to reach to the campus. As I don't often drive to school, therefore I do not familiar with rule that I need to prepare my student id for the guard to "check in".
I requested politely if s block still has some space for me and the guard on duty nodded. I was happy and quickly dug out my wallet to get my id card and handed it to the guard. When the card was just about to reach his hand, an old man came out and commanded me to do a U-turn. The gutless no-position guard handed back my id to me. It was strictly meant “forget about the parking at S block!” to me. I tried to explain myself that I didn’t know because I seldom drive.
Miserably, not even a word that went in to his ears. Worst still, he then raised his voice to repeat himself and commanded me to leave. I was stunned by his intolerant and was certainly extreme upset of his prejudiced attitude. I muttered curses under my breath and drove away. As I swallowing my anger down to my stomach, an incident that happened last week flashed through my mind, and tears burst in the back of my throat. Conflicts we came across last week were rather exasperated, I aware that he was taking thing personally and treated me bias this morning. I guess he was fumed by the curse I made last week.
Awhile later, I finally found somewhere to park my car outside the school and tried to chill myself down. But, I cried all my way from the back entrance to the dsa block. Later I registered myself again at the student affair to make the complaint about the security for the second time as I have did it just last week.
I was weak to control my emotions at that moment and was sobbing in the office till I chilled down. The staff waited patiently and finally we talked about that matter. Soon, she called him on the phone to clarify the matter I reported. And I was right that he was angry about the curse I made last week. He heard I was calling him to hell. What is funny was he said i was blocking the way where there was only one car behind me, and my id was almost in the guard's palm. He wanted apologize from me to settle the matter.
Ironically, he was the one who did not listen to my request last week, when I told him I just wanted to pick up my friend; unreasonably, they assumed that I wanted to park at s block. No matter how much I explained, and I even suggested him a way that will make sure I will be out of the school area in very soon, but they were all useless because he NEVER listen and ignore everything I tried to explain. For god’s sake, I have my limitation also kay.
I laughed in a sarcastic way and asked the lady staff to try to stand in my shoes. In addition, I did clarified to her that I was just expressing my frustration by three words “what the heck”. And I was not even cursing to him. Retarded old man, gosh! I came back to the office at 10pm, now she told me that he was complaining about my courtesy all these while. Well, all I could say is I give in to all your nonsense. I am certain that if you were treating me right, I wouldn’t need to be rude in the first place. I’m just letting u to taste your own medicine. How does it taste? Real disappointed with Utar’s management, ain’t students should be treated as the first priority? All I can see is the feigned ignorance to this whole affair by standing on the very unprofessional security’s side. NO CHOICE, this is Utar!
