Holiday Inn at airport giving really bad vibe?

[Muchadoaboutnothing]

I planned to withdraw some cash from a bank in the evening, they locked the door because of homeless people so I couldn't access the ATM inside.

I planned to fuel up at a certain gas station, the pump was not working, I have to fuel up at a different place.

I was driving on a country highway on a business trip and almost got killed by a big truck, I did not anticipate that.

You can get killed by a rogue wheel too

Point is, things don't go as planned, and when the raiding does happen, I do not want to be a part of it. I had many sessions with ladies, doesn't mean I will be complacent.

I'm experienced in dealing with hotel staff and concierge. and I don't care for them. I brought up the cleaner looking at me suspiciously because I usually try to remember as many hotel staff's faces as possible, and I figure out their duties through observation, so that I know who is who. It's just a detail I remembered: she is not friendly.

Other than the fact that I never paid a single cent for parking at that place all these years, it's really the guy with dark complexion that bothered me most, sometimes when locking eyes with some shithead with crazy eyes, it creeps me out. Many years ago we hired this guy, and he looked like he wants to kill somebody, I'm glad the dumb fuck quit the job after only one day.

Your last paragraph is just adding to us now having a more negative character Profile of you. Dark complexion, dark features, creeps me out, shithead, crazy eyes. dumb fuck
how Does this post about your coworker add to this thread ? Where is your mind?

he probably eventually did want to kill you because you’re putting him on edge (if he even exists or if he is just everyone other than you ).
or he’s giving the “are you fucking kidding me ?!” Look to you because he can’t believe your whack ass is still showing up and enacting this role.
scarier would be if YOU are a cop. Sounds like an American headline especially.

There's a professional way to be a John? Nobody tells me anything.

Yeah DUUUHHH!!! It's been explained already by our totally rational OP! Dress like The Unabomber, run away from anyone who looks at you funny, don't pay for parking like some sucker (even though a parking ticket puts you on the radar far more than paying $4 to park), memorize every building in a 4km radius in case you need to park/hide/escape/rationalize, umm... I don't know what else, the OP never actually mentioned successfully booking and fucking anyone.

 

[Disgruntled Goat]

This thread has been highly entertaining. I don't know if the OP is a moron or troll. I hope it's the latter. I'd rather live in a world where someone was brilliant enough to come to with such fantastic tales to enthrall us. The alternative is that someone is stupid enough to believe this shit.

Oh god. So even your car screams “impaired”. I’ve seen idiots drive fast through thinking the arm will just bounce up in reflex only to zip out of the underground with a dented car broken mirror and windshield and all caught on the camera of the door. You ARE a moron. if you leave without paying parking I can only imagine how many times you’ve shortchanged anyone

Mini Cooper like Mr Bean. That would be a great disguise too.

You forgot: memorize the internal layout of those buildings and what each employee looks like, does and their routines. All things a normal person does of course

100% agreed!
I can’t believe this thread is still going 6 pages deep now. It’s been the gift that keeps on giving.

Those suckers spend 20 dollars for some food and get their parking validated at Perkins, I spend 300 dollars and no validation, it does not make sense, parking should be free for all.

 

[explorerzip]

It’s not listening. It’s watching a thread /feed of words. Ie. queen and Shaw -police on site- domestic Bathurst and Queen-gunshots heard , yonge and shuter- car theft, suspects missing etc

Interesintg, I wasn't aware of that. Though if you're the type that watches those feeds on your phone, then someone like the cops "might" notice you sitting around like they would if you were looking at Terb

...there is a Perkins right there. I've never eaten there. Apparently it's a chain (just found out today) and there is only one in Toronto. You can say you're trying out the Perkins.

I think I'll do it next time, take a few photos of their menu, memorize their special items, so that I can come up with an excuse of "trying out their amazing food, it's recommended to me by a colleague".

if you did this in my circles, they’d know right away you were bullshitting. Would be like going to “Tim Hortons to try their amazing coffee”

Had that line ready in my back pocket. But like Denny's, no one would be that I frequent this establishment.

Same with delta airport or maybe it’s Hilton airport which is across from a conference centre and has two or three restaurants inside Open late. Near the highway and has meeting rooms.

Other great covers. And don't forget the Starbucks!

There is a secluded plaza directly across the road no more than a 5 minute walk easy fix

Dixon Road is 6 llanes wide in that area so I hope you like playing Frogger in real life

I do agree it’s a busy place but I usually a night time guy so I have never really thought it was all that bad but hey just pay for parking and do t worry is another way to go

Night time especially in the winter would be reason to bite the bullet and pay for parking or at least park on the same side of the road. I'd even avoid crossing a street in that area so soon after daylight savings.

I never ate at Perkin's before. Just checked out the menu, it's just an an all-day breakfast place, mainly for the hotel guests. Could still be valuable if cop questions you from the lobby, just say you ate here before, just want to grab a quick meal. If you have nothing on you, this could work. For family member or friends who know where you eat if your car breaks down at Holiday Inn then it may not work.

As for St Louis Bar & Grill, it's a chain, and there is another location much closer to my place, so it may not work as a cover, plus bar food like nachos and wings are not that special, but that plaza is secluded so I still think it's a valuable location for parking, especially considering how packed the hotel parking lot is in the evening, I don't want to risk a parking ticket.

Milestones is a great restaurant to treat yourself something nice, the mushroom soup is phenomenal there, but then again it's a chain restaurant you might find another location much closer, however it's close to where I work and there is no other Milestones nearby, so I can definitely say I went there after work for a great meal.

Finally, Makimono Sushi Bar Restaurant might work as a great cover, there is only one in Toronto, so location is unique, and they have a all you can eat sushi.

Other than having a great cover, we should never act in a way other people expect us to act, we should always try new things, appearing at random locations for weird things because someone recommended something, eat at random places, go to the Keg one day, next day pick up a pizza from Little Caesars, then buy some lobster bisque from Fortinos, next day order pho or Thai food. Go see Kung Fu Panda 4 a kids movie, then see an opera, be random.

Another option, that I have thought of but never actually done, is walk to the box and grab another ticket on foot. Then get in your car and put the new ticket in. The machine thinks you have been there for 5 minutes and lets you out for free.

Thanks for the Yelp reviews.

A solo adult male watching a kid's movie? You're really leaning into the whole child kidnapper theme aren't you?

That doesn’t work

It doesn't work that way Mr. Bean There are metal and pressure sensors embedded in the pavement near a parking gate. You can see it clearly here:

Holiday Inn Toronto Airport East · 600 Dixon Rd, Etobicoke, ON M9W 1J1, Canada
