Ridiculous Signage Between Bonnie and Meredith

There is some crazy signage going on in the Parking Lot off Colorado between Bonnie and Meredith in Pasadena. Often I stop at this location for Starbucks on way into the Pasadena Office and I always have to pay close attention to the parking spot I pick because if not the woman that sits in the tiny little closet-office will put a warning on my car that threatens to tow it. (I have received the warning twice for parking in the wrong space) Almost everything in this parking lot is remarkable:

  • The tiny little closet the woman works must be horrible. There is no air conditioning and it is no more than 4 feet by 4 feet (I think I am being generous here too) This woman just trolls the parking lot looking for potential offenders. I was going to Starbucks and the ATM one day and she stopped me to ask me how long I would be? Uh 10 minutes...oh, okay, go ahead....whatever

  • There is no difference in the handicapped parking spaces (size and borders) so why is one van accessible and one not?

  • There is a sign for at least every two parking spots in the lot

  • Why would they print two different shape signs for the 1 Hour Sharp Seating spots? As you can see in the 5th picture these two signs are for spots right next to each other

  • There are three different signs depicting standard 1 hour parking, the dark brown rectangle, the dark brown tall oval and the light brown rectangle

  • There are two different types of employee parking sign, the dark brown horizontal oval, and the light brown square. I once was stopped by the parking lot monitor since I wasn't an employee and parked on the spot that showed the 1 hour to the left and the employee parking to the right.

  • Who could have possibly made the decisions on signage, it's crazy! Also, every spot is a 1 hour except the employees. Three are 4 restaurants that utilize the parking lot and 2 banks. Lord help the person who is signing loan documents or having a leisurely lunch, they will likely be towed.

holy cow! I wonder how much they spent on all that signage + what the box lady's annual salary is.

I hope those restaurants have speedy service!

That parking lot is crazy! I have actually been there 3 times in the last month, once with Kate and twice with Bryan. You forgot to capture the insane amount of speed bumps! :)
