Today I met a parking attendant.

I don't normally go to this parking structure, but even then, parking structures usually have the gate down. It forces people to take the ticket to enter and track their time. The gate was up, so I asked the attendant, "Do I need to take a ticket?"

"Do you need to take a ticket? Of course you need to take a ticket."

The woman was Filipino, and spoke with the flair and emphasis of any older Filipino woman. If you watch a lot of teleseryes, then you know. I don't know if she's been to other parking structures, but they all don't operate like hers. I was mildly entertained, since she was so serious with her response.
