Locked Out

Today, Parking Appeals Committee was locked. When I told Ms. Phyllis we couldn't get in, she led us to a petite (by which I mean pathetically small) break room for employees of Parking Services. We could hardly fit four people in there. Anyway, Brittany kept apologizing every time the next person came in and they would invariably give the "no problem" shrug combo. I find it strange that people always make the same shrug and say the same thing when they appear before boards. I've always figured that they are thinking "Ho ho. Now the Parking People have inconvenienced me so they have to let me off!" although they are probably actually thinking something like "Oh please oh please let me get off of this without having to lie."
