The Dumbest excuse for a Broken Parking Gate You'll Hear This Year

Yesterday, the parking gate in my building—where I happen to have a parking space, mind you—broke down.

Apparently, the fuse decided to go to hell, and as a result, the gate wouldn’t open. Nobody could get in or out, so we had to manually unlock and lift the damn thing.

All good so far? I sure hope so.

Well, here comes the best part: some enlightened souls in the building claim that part of the problem is that we don’t follow the rules and that people walk through the parking entrance instead of using the stairs, which supposedly makes the gate malfunction.

A joke, really. Since when do parking gates have a usage limit?

Are they intelligent enough to detect whether it’s a pedestrian or a vehicle passing through and decide whether to break down accordingly?

Classic case of bitter neighbors who just love banning things…

We also have a tiny garden area with not one, not two, but three signs banning ball games. And, of course, we even have professional complainers who’ve filed complaints because people dared to enjoy the community patio during nap time.

So, if you don’t want to be the bitter neighbor or miserable coworker that no one wants to deal with, you better get up to speed with content assets, content slots, and especially content link functions.
