Today is probably the worst day ever since i work as an intern. I am an intern. Clearly i'm not that familiar with the place. I mean...I just came here for like 3 weeks and still a noob for a huge building like my workplace. It has almost 15 (I think) floors of parking lot.
So here how the story goes..
I came a bit early today around 740am and this was my 3rd time driving to the workplace by my own. I was aware that some of the parking lots has plate number written on it. I was aware of that. But this time, I parked at this horizontal parking lot, not aware of the plate number that was on the floor. The main reason is because I saw there was a car parked at the parking lot. So I assumed that I can go and park there too. And so I did.
Few hours later, there was an announcement saying my car's number plate and asked for it to be parked at somewhere else. They announced it twice as the first time I was talking to my colleague and didn't hear the announcement. Second time I hear, I was like "shittttttt...this can't be true!" So I ran to the lif and go down the car park. (I was at level 28 and the car park is at level 1 can u imagine that) So I went to my car and saw a lady waiting right there with her luxury Honda Civic in white colour. (I also remember the car plate should I write it here? lol kiddin) I rushed to her with a smile and said that I'm sorry in the most polite way.
Annnnddd guess what?
She did that arrogant bitch face and scolded me like hell. I was sooo shocked that I can't even say anything. I said sorry for like 10 times? Still, she scolded me. I get it, lady. It was my mistake that I took your parking lot. But did u hear that I said I am an intern and this was my first time (I lied to her lol) driving to work? I am for sure an amateur with this place. I knew you were mad to me but must u downgrade me just because I am an intern and I am nobody in here? You are so so rude. I said sorry but you were still an arrogant bitvh.
"I'm sorry that I parked here. I didn't know the rules were like that. I am a new intern in here."
"Which department are you in? Who is your boss? Don't you know who my boss is?! I am late because of you!"
"I'm in CKM. Sorry Ms, I don't know who your boss is. I'm truly sorry for my behaviour."
"Which university are you from?"
"UiTM"
"Didn't they teach you how to read the parking lot?! You made me late and my big boss was so mad at me because of you!"
And the sorry goes on and on for like 10 minutes? She wasted more of her time by being mad at me and not going to the car to park properly. So not professional!
I was disappointed with someone like her, really. Even if you have a big name and a big boss, that doesn't mean that you can downgrade an amateur like that. You have big name and big car, but zero manners. I clearly said that I am an intern. Which part of it that you don't understand? Of course, it is normal if I make mistake because I don't know! I don't know okay :(
Right after that, I parked somewhere else in the 13/14th floor. I cried myself out in the car and the funniest part was that there was no tissue for me to wipe my tears hahaha. I cried a lot. By mean a lot, it was a lot lol. I cried because I was really shocked that I got a scold like that. She was really mean to me, I must say. Never have I ever get a scold like that from someone other than my mom (lol). My personal thought, if I have a big name, she wouldn't scold me like that for sure. Last but not least, she said sorry for scolding me (??) I ignored that for sure haha!
Moral of the story; no matter how big your name is, be nice and be humble to everyone around you. That is how people are going to respect you more and more. Be professional ;)
