Never Give Your Car to a Valet in BeirutPosted by finkployd in
Perspectives I
a friend came up to me once and said, "Don't EVER give your car to the Valet!"
"I've seen them parking the cars, and it's something straight out of the World Rally Championship... except it's your car they're tearing apart." "They'll climb on sidewalks with a Bentley, zoom through dirt roads with a Mini Cooper, and park on stairways with Mercs..." "They'll drive your car the wrong way down a one way road, they'll double, triple, quadruple park... oh and did I mention, the majority of them are not insured, and your insurance DOESN'T cover them." "They'll never admit to hitting, scratching, or breaking your car..." "They'll never admit to 'stealing' something from your car, even though they'll take your spare tire from the secure underground parking of the infamous Phoenicia Hotel..." "Oh, and they own all the sidewalks, stairways, alleys, and chimneys in Beirut... so don't bother arguing with them when they tell you that empty PUBLIC spot is theirs... cause they'll scratch your car when you're not around." so here I am passing the message along to you oh and did I mention they park on sites marked "National Cultural Heritage" (see Gemmayze Stairs below)  tags: beirut, lebanon, valet, parking, gemmayze, stairs -finkployd- Valet Parking on Blogging Beirut
