What was I thinking?

Posted by: B

Setting: I'm leaving the parking garage after my late night of classes.

I pulled up to the exit and stopped at the gate to pay and leave, but on that night I thought all I had to do was press the red button, take a ticket, and drive away after the gate opened.

So I sat there, at the gate, pressing the red button and waiting for the ticket.

After pressing the button 5 times I thought there might be a problem with the gate.

So I stared at the "call for assistance" button trying to decide if I should press it. After 30 seconds had passed, I decided not to "call for assistance" and went back to pressing the red button for a ticket.

Shortly, I realized the red button said "cancel" as in cancel the payment transaction.

This realization confused me so I thought about it out loud.

"What? Why would I cancel getting my ticket and leaving?"

Clarity...

"Ohhhh. This is the exit. I have to pay. Hahaha"

Luckily no one was behind me!
