Entity Julianna Thoennes spoke thus:

> I got stuck in a parking garage last June in Denver.  (I was attending a
> conference)  I didn't have any damage, because I stopped in time, but it is
> quite the story.  There was plenty of room to drive in and park.  The
> problem arose when I attempted to leave the lot.  I pulled forward to the
> gate, and saw that I might have a problem with a water pipe that ran across
> the roof.  I mentioned this to the attendant, and he assured me that if I
> got in, that I could get out.  Well he was wrong!  I drove cautiously
> forward, and heard a tink, when my roof rack bumped the water pipe.  Of
> course!  I got out, and assesed my situation, and decided that it would be
> best to remove the rack.  At this point, the attendant is yelling at me to
> move my van through!  I am trying to tell him that I am stuck, but he spoke
> a differant language, and couldn't understand me.  I am in a long dress of
> course!  It is somewhere in the upper 90's.   I climb up top, and squeeze
> into the space to remove the box rack.  (I am not a small woman) I was
> having difficulty with all the cloth in the dress, so I climbed back down.
> There are about 10 or more cars waiting to get out, and they are irritated
> too.  I was very flustered!  The attendant continued to yell at me to move
> my van.  There are several other people that were yelling that they were
> late, and to hurry up.  Only one person offered to help.  I finally step
> into my camper, and pull out a t-shirt.  I have bike shorts on, but no bra.
> There is no way to be private at this point, so I just whip off my dress and
> throw on the t-shirt.  It was great!  LOL   Everyone stopped yelling, and
> ran back to their vehicles.  I got the rack off in no time without all that
> fabric, and moved on my way.
