Parking lot (tao o kotse?)

[ozcity]

di ba kayo naiinis sa parking lot na may nakatayo sa free slot na tao then sasabihin sa inyo na reserve na yun at yung kotse nya e nasa ibaba pa??

[allanraymondr]

hmm, oo kasi kung yung kotse nasa baba pa bakit parang ang bilis naman ata magreserve nun. i mean, d ba dapat sa pagakyat na lang nung kotse tsaka magpareserve yung kasama nya? saan parking lot yan? nangyari na kasi sa akin yan sa megamall. nung magppark na ko bigla sabi sa akin nung tao na may nakareserve na daw dun pero yung kotse nasa kabilang dulo lang nung parking area. kaya para sa akin tama lang yun...

[baiskee]

kakainis...pero wala rin tayong magagawa kesa sagasaan mo yung tao.

hanap na lang ng ibang slot...iwas ka pa sa gulo. ;)

[ozcity]

kakainis nga madalas ito sa mga mall..minsan halos 1hr na ako paikot ikot tapos pagnakakita ako ng vacant slot biglang may tatayo dun at maghihintay ng kotse nya...hayyyy badtrip talaga

[ess]

That's why I just avoid trying to park in those malls (i.e. Megamall)

Instead, I park in the Podium and just walk to Megamall. It takes me less than 10 mins to park and 15 minutes to walk to megamall.

[allanraymondr]

ganun din ako ess.hehe lalo na kapag sale. grabe...

[chieffy]

kakainis nga iyan ganyan...happened to me last weekend sa parksquare 1 parking...kung di ko lang kasama pamilya ko dadahan dahanin kong atrasan yung tao eh para umalis...umiwas na lang ako sa gulo...masaya pa si misis he he...may peace of mind pa ako at di paranoid na baka guhitan yung kotse....

this happened to my friend in megamall. when he saw a free slot he started to park the car when all a sudden may babae na tumayo & said reserved na. he said la pa naman car. e ayaw umalis, pinabayaan niya. tapos sama pa tingin ng bf ng babae. pumarada friend at another floor tapos binababaan yung car. got his swiss knife & used the chisel on the car. scraped to metal! talsikan daw paint & primer.


boys & girls, don't do this at the mall, its very dangerous!

tsikoteers..just park sa podium and walk if you go megamall, less hassle..now if galleria mall kayo...hmmm...good luck....if sa makati..park ka na lang park square 2..cheaper parking fee..less people. or..better yet....mrt na lang...faster...less traffic.... happy shopping.

[ILuvDetailing]

It ain't worth the hassle arguing with them. If possible go to the malls earlier, magsasawa kayo sa mga parking slots

rule of thumb in mall parking anywhere any season

be there at 930 am IF ur chores require you to do so

NOW key here is to let ur wifey know that rule is non negotiable

IF you're trying to catch dinner or a movie with u gf (or worse take her shopping) then both of you should have the patience of Job since both your stress levels will move up

it may not be a bad idea to just go home or be creative and do something else

I park at Shangri-La. I like the steep ramps there.

Ah. I'm glad my wife and I agree on this. Unfortunately, my wife's friends and family have different ideas. They'd often plan gimmicks in the most crowded and car unfriendly places you can think of. Hindi naman makayanan ng misis kong tumanggi sa kanila. Kaya ayun. Hinahatid - sundo ko na lang yung misis ko. To hell with her friends and family. :mad:

I don't have the patience of JOB. That's why I avoid going to such places when I know that parking will be bad.

argee ako kay boss OTEP.... ganyan ginawa ko nung DELO transhow.. kaysa naman sa open parking ka ng megamall no.. bka pagbalik ko... wala na ako balikan... pero other than that, i don't usually go to malls like megamall.. masyado crowded... i either go to podium, powerplant or shangri-la na lang.. maarte na kung maarte pero kse naiirita ako pag madami tao eh..

Yup, the Podium lot is becoming my favorite parking space para sa mga alanganing oras na biyahe sa Megamall, although nakakatyempo pa naman ako ng slot sa Mega open parking. Sa Galleria naman, mabilis ang turn-over ng sasakyan. I have yet to encounter any problems parking there. Napansin ko kasi na andaming drivers ang nagsusumiksik sa 1st and 2nd tier basement parking ng Gale. Ilag sila sa 3rd level parking. Eh dun nga pinakamarami ang parking slots, as I have consistently seen. Komo kasi lowest level, mga ayaw dun magpunta, kaya andami tuloy bakante, hehehehe.

Robinson's East naman, sa may Marcos Highway, na-disorient ako the first time. Biruin nyo, indoor parking na libre?! It took me a while for this to sink in, akala ko nagbibiro lang yung security guard.

Pero THE BEST parking experience so far for me? Sa Edsa Shangri-La 5th level. I was waiting for a vacant parking slot one weekend, when a guy with white hair signaled me towards an area blocked off with a chain. That was reserved parking for the mall's tenants. He ordered a security guard to remove the chain so I could avail of one of the parking slots. Tinanong ko pa si lolo kung pwede mag-park dun. Sabi niya pwede daw, so I thanked him and proceeded to park.

Papasok na ako ng mall when the guard made small talk about the lack of parking. Sabi ko, buti na lang pinayagan akong mag-park dun. To which the guard replied, "Ah, presidente po namin yung nagpa-park sa inyo."

Feeling VIP ako for the rest of the day. Mas na-appreciate ko tuloy ang Shang. :cool:

[zechs]

hmm..gawain ng mom ko yan during the old days..nung mga bata pa kami. pero mali talaga yun. hehe papagalitan ko nga mmya.

anyway, pag megamall usually park ako sa podium less hassle talaga. sobra kasing daming nagpapark sa megamall eh even during non-sale days. pag makati naman, usually park kami sa park square 2 basement..para la masyadong tao..kung di naman, sa glorietta 3 car park or even sa 6750 car park (layo lang nga) :D

[vinj]

Actually talo ka both ways sa "reserved" parking kuno. IF you force you way in to park, they'll most likely get back at you.

I do the ff:
- Go really early and have a nice breakfast nearby.
- If i go at a "peak" time, i park in another area (i.e. Podium, Shang... 6750... etc.). If i can commute or hitch then all the better.

Halos tapos na ako sa Christmas shopping... Divisoria da best!!!
