Girl's Car Gets Booted
02-01-2015, 03:29 PM
I recently had a promising first date lose all of its momentum when the girl's car got booted in the parking lot. The girl drove about 30 minutes to meet me at a bar and didn't pay for parking. I walked. We stayed inside for about an hour with the plan to go back for drinks at my place. Instead, we came out to see that her car was booted. This instantly soured the mood.
She called the company, and we waited in her car with the heat on. The car next to hers was also booted. It took about 30 minutes for a truck to come and remove the boot. She had to pay around $100. Instead of coming in for drinks, she dropped me off and then went home.
Has anyone salvaged this situation, or is this just another instance of how the world is giant cockblock?

The world isn't a giant cockblock. Women just shouldn't be allowed to operate motorized vehicles.

Pull off a crazy DHV by removing it using some kind of power tool?
That just seems like bad luck. You could be more persistent, or just turn it into a funny in-joke later on. It isn't the worst thing in the world for the one night to go south.

Should have had her drive and park near your place and walked over to the bar together. Logistics 101. Makes it easier to get her to come up to yours anyway. When she arrives tell her you're still getting ready, buzz her up, make her sit in your living room/common area for a few minutes then go out. She'll be way more willing to come back up later because now she's comfortable with your place and knows it's not a pig sty. And in this case her car would have been out of the equation for the rest of the evening.

Great opportunity for you now
even if it went so shitty, you now are more memorable. Simply be friendly "Hey it was awesome getting to meet you last time. I'd really like to make up for the parking issue, drinks on me. I can pick you up at 8 this weekend. Friday or Saturday? "

Suggest a wine and netflix date at her place so it won't happen again? "To be safe"

I found an informative text document from 1994 (not sure if todays boots have new tech though):
Quote:Quote:
It took our bootbusters no time at all to figure out how to dismantle and remove the boot, quickly and quietly. Anyone with less than $30 worth of basic hand tools and enough dexterity to screw in a light bulb can probably break the boot's grip on a car wheel in about ten minutes.
