Okay, Google: Now It’s Personal
by Sapphire (May 6, 2007)
I know a lot of you think you have serious grievances with Google. I have to warn you: the following story details a wrong so heinous, so uncaring, so inhumane… your brain may cower at the prospect of holding this information. Read at your own risk.
This morning I went out to breakfast at a local cafe. There’s an alley behind it with free parking, which is not common in this area. The free parking has always been reserved for people eating at the cafe. I pulled into the alley and saw that all the parking spaces were vacant. This was very unusual. I started to pull into one. Then I saw the sign at the front of the space had been changed. The spaces were no longer reserved for cafe patrons. They were reserved for someone else now.
Yes, friends: Google stole my damn parking space and made me pay for parking!
Apparently they have a small office next door and the giant parking lot behind the building just isn’t enough for the company that is slowly consuming the whole planet.
That’s it, Google. The gloves are off. You hear me, Google? You’ll paaaaay! You will paaaaaaay!
(That said, I had a really good fried egg sandwich that jump started my brain and creative juices.)

Okay, that IS it! How dare they get between a woman and her eggs!
At the very least, google could share the parking with the cafe on weekends. Darn them!

It’s amazing how businesses don’t share parking on the weekends. “No, it’s ours ours ours even if we’re not here!”

OMG… see it’s world domination. First your webspace and now your parking space!

I’m glad to see you recognize the extreme wrong I have been done.

Refusing to index my domain just because someone else had owned and let it lapse just PALES in comparison!
