Go on, be a terrorist

If you're in the mood for some fun, I would recommend that you go to Engen on the corner of Main Rd and Protea Road in Claremont (see the map for this picture) and start taking pictures of random things.

 

I love seeing computer monitors displaying things they shouldn't be displaying in public - you know, error messages, blue-screens etc. Or in this case, a blank desktop with a right-click menu. This monitor usually loops movie trailers.

 

While taking this picture, I got the evil eye from a stocky woman wearing an all-important "Steers Manager" shirt (and I use the term "woman" very loosely). I would have taken a photo of her, but I was afraid that she might beat me up.

 

So I asked her if I could help her, seeing as though she was giving me the eye. Apparently you're not allowed to take photos in the vicinity. To which I inquired as to which vicinity she was referring.

 

According to her, It's Engen policy(*) that photos are not allowed to be taken in the area. When asked where these policies were so that I could read them, she told me that she would have to print them out.

 

Sorry, but If your policies aren't on public display, I'm not really going to be in a mood to obey them.

 

*Policy: A course of action, guiding principle, or procedure considered expedient, prudent, or advantageous. In other words, "rules that they follow" I don't remember signing any document agreeing to those rules.

 

Oh and I can't find any policy referring to photography in the vicinity of an Engen Service Station on the net. If you can, please put it in the comments.
