#263 Police

Police car blocking your way is not something anybody likes to see, but on the airport, on arrivals, it is always a game of cat and a mouse. My wife told me she arrived, so I didn't wait on cell-phone-parking, but went directly to arrivals. She forgot to mention that she is still waiting for luggage to arrive, and I had to engage my invisibility shield so cops won't send me to drive around instead of waiting and saving gas and the environment. It worked for a few minutes, and when the officer came too close I moved forward so I was behind him, which gave me another few minutes. Once he came back and told me to move, my move was to pick up the phone and call her to check if she got the luggage. That gave me a bit more time. She arrived just before he lost his patience.

I do not know about you, but I do not enjoy these games. I know they are doing their job, and without them, it would be virtually impossible to do a proper pickup.
Unless...
A bit of yellow paint would nicely mark temporary parking spots. Diagonally, a lot of cars could stop, load, and leave without having to wait for others. A simple timer and a sensor could measure 2 minutes, and show you when do you have to leave. Either a cop or a camera would provide an enforcing tool for time limit violators, and everything would be much simpler. If I knew that there are 2 minute timers, I'd probably wait until she tells me that she is actually outside and waiting. There would be less waiting, less troubles, and less games. And the parking would be bigger, because police car wouldnćt park in the middle, blocking already crowded space.
Do you agree?

Ако хоћеш да покупиш неког испред аеродрома, онда треба то да урадиш одмах и без чекања. Наравно, сви дођу мало раније, неки још увек чекају на пртљаг док други још излазе из авиона. У_ сваком случају, увек је гужва и саобраћаци шетају около и опомињу да направиш још један круг ако твоји путници још нису стигли. То нико не воли, тако да се онда играмо мачке и миша, убеђујући се да ево управо излазе, да су ме сада звали, да...
Нико не размишља о другима него само о себи, тако да је гужва велика и пола њих чека да се кола испред њих помере тако да могу да изађу. Или се праве да чекају, јер заправо њихов путник још није стигао.
