I got locked IN my parking garage.
Our apartment complex has a pay-to-park garage that tenants can pay a monthly fee to gain access to. If you pay for parking, you get a swipe card that you must swipe to both enter and exit the garage.
Today I went to swipe out to leave for work... and nothing happened.
I tried the alternate exit, thinking maybe one was on the fritz. Nothing happened.
I had to call the emergency maintenance number and a maintenance guy on-call had to drive all the way to my apartment and card me out so that I could get out to go to work.
I was an hour late to work.
And the reason for all this bullshit? They disabled my card.
They had problems with the parking garage swipers all day, and had to manually disable and re-enable everyone's cards. They didn't re-enable mine. Or at least that's the explanation I got. So I lost an hour of night shift pay and have to use an hour of vacation/sick time which gets paid at a much lower rate. I lose money and I get in trouble. \0/
