watson Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 http://www.frank151.com/2009/07/30/how-to-get-over/ Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England, there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses. It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine charging cars £1 about ($1.40) and coaches £5 (about $7). This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn’t turn up for work. “Oh well”, said Bristol Zoo Management - “we’d better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant . . . ” “Err . . . no”, said the Council, “that parking lot is your responsibility.” “Err . . . no”, said Bristol Zoo Management, “the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn’t he?” “Err . . . no!” insisted the Council. Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain (presumably), is a man who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at £400 (about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million ($7 million - or $280,000 every year for 25 years)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoHuxtable.. Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Props to this dude, definitely a true hustler. I wonder if some of the rich snobs parking their cars viewed him as some lowly parking attendant though and didn't even know. I wonder if the city or the zoo is going to try and get some of the money back though, since it appears he reaped 100% of the profit.
