a day in the life...

to set the scene:
lf and friends have been up all night working on a deadline. at an obscenely early hour and with about three hours of sleep lf stumbles out of the hotel to move her car from a metered spot to a garage suggested by hotel personnel. after following the sign in the garage that reads "please pull forward" lf pulls forward and into a spot behind a parked truck. she is wondering where the parking attendant is when suddenly the reverse lights on the truck in front of her light up and the truck starts backing up (seemingly in slow motion). lf tries frantically to hit her horn to alert the driver but motor skills are lacking at this early hour and AFTER the truck hits her car her hand finally makes contact with the horn. it sounds sort of like this.

*CRASH!*BEEP!*

guy in truck (gets out of truck and looks angrily at lf): shit!
lf: wtf! you hit MY car!
guy in truck: oh yea. well there's no visible damage. it's $45 to park your car for the day.
