sooo easy a caveman can do it

Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England , there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses.


It was manned by a very pleasant attendant carrying a ticket machine charging cars £1 (about $1.40) and coaches(buses) £5 (about $7). This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn't turn up for work.


"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..."


"Err ... no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility."


"Err ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed by the City Council, wasn't he?"


"Err ... NO!" insisted the Council.


Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain , is a bloke who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at £400 (about $560) per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over £3.6 million ($7 million)! And no one even knows his name.

Basically he didn't actually work at the zoo, he just made his own post to collect money from cars and left 25years later... fucking crazzzyyyy doooooood. he's rich now

I'm gonna go build a booth when I get home.

He was probably also collecting unemployment.

I often think about this when there are random guys posted up on lots at night... that's crazy though.

There was a story recently where a dude just asked for the car keys in front of a nice restaraunt and gave the dude a movie ticket stub.
