Hey all, I’ve heard of people getting lost in parking structures but never had that experience myself until last night. I thought I’d share my experience because it was really odd and curious if anyone has had a similar occurrence like this.

For context, I was in my mall world school taking an exam and I was the last one to finish it up and for some reason I was there until 4 AM. I proceeded to the garage to find my car, but I could not for the life of me remember where I parked it.

The structure had so many different entrances and different elevators to get to the different entrances in different levels so I ended up taking several different elevators to try and find where my car was, and because I had my keys, I kept pressing the button and all of the sudden, a small blue sports car blinked and I was able to get in and I was able to start the car!! I knew it wasn’t my car but figured it was ok, I drove off, but then I turned around because I felt guilty for stealing someone else’s car.

This is kind of when it gets a little more stressful because when I head back to the garage, I cannot find the entrance that I originally entered from but because there are several entrances, I just entered one which took me to a completely different structure. I just remember getting out and walking around and trying to find out my car, and then I found the professor that I was taking the exam with and they help me find my car, but it wasn’t really my car. It was the same model and color and it had a lot of my stuff in it, but the license plate was different… and I remember telling the professor that and the professor got really annoyed at me and just said to get in anyways.

So I did get in the car even though I was really uncomfortable that it likely wasn’t my car, but then I could not exit the parking structure at all!! I was stuck in some sort of concrete maze and I couldn’t find the exit and anytime I did exit, I would somehow end up back in the garage. I do remember having my own phone and navigating to my apartment but it wasn’t working for some reason it could just kept going around in circles and navigating me to the parking structure. There were a lot of dirt slopes going in and out of all the structures.
