Holiday Inn at airport giving really bad vibe?

[Scholar]

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the Yelp reviews.

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.

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

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.

They'll validate your parking if you show them the receipt from the hooker.

Do you get a free session or coffee if you collect 10 stickers?

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.

Again, considering some of the stupidity I've seen from members of this board, there's every chance he's the former.

Some of the members of TERB seem like they shouldn't even be trusted with a pair children's scissors.

 

[Muchadoaboutnothing]

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

lol I don’t. I only know of it from when I’ve checked to see why emergency vehicles on my direct street under five times

Or with a computer or phone.

Do you dress up in a hoodie and sunglasses and say that you're going to visit Perkins on 600 Dixon Road "just for a coffee" if you need to pass them on your street?

 

[jsanchez]

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

One could be both, a moron+troll, they're not mutually exclusive.
Pretty obvious OP's trolling and wasting his storytelling talent on an escort review board.

I'm surprised that a lot of these guys don't need to call tech support each time they start their computer to walk them through the process.

Please see what I said about the level of stupidity that I've seen some of the members of this board display.

Back in the day, I remember it took 5 minutes to startup a computer and it needed a 5 1/4 floppy diskette. When I wanted to play certain games in glorious black and green graphics, I had to dig up the paper manual to find a specific key word or plug in a security dongle to the back of the PC.

The young ones would go crazy if they had to do that

Considering I'm surprised that some of the members can even operate a computer that you start by pressing a button, something like that would completely defeat them.

There was an email forward that went around years ago about a call someone in tech support received from someone who said their desktop computer wasn't working.

It turned out there was a power failure. Some of TERBs members strike me as being the types who would call tech support for something like that.

I had a C64 with a *tape* drive. Sometimes it would take 10-20 min just to load a game, depending on how advanced the game was. I delivered newspapers for a whole year just to save up for a 5.25 disk drive and it was revolutionary!

I worked in tech support years ago and I'd call that a ID-10-T error or a problem between the keyboard and the chair At least I never came across people with problems with their cup holder aka CD-ROM drive.

I was blown away when I saw the first 16 color screen. Also, when I heard sounds and music while playing Wolfenstein 3D. He hooked up his SoundBlaster card to a portable tape deck because PC speakers didn't exist yet.

My cousin used to work at Future Shop back then and he would let me use his employee discount to buy stuff, but he also straight up shoplifted a SoundBlaster and some RAM sticks for me. And we hooked that sound card up to to a ghetto blaster for maximum effect.

Future Shop was so annoying with their commisioned sales guys. I don't need the $100 Monster cables. Never mind the Holiday Inn, retro tech is much more interesting

I had that tape drive too! C64 was my first computer. Got it for my 8th birthday.
