Common sense: Do you have it?

What is it about people (well, Malaysians really) and having (or rather, not having) some common sense?

There I was standing in line at the parking lot, behind the guy who has just inserted his Jusco card at the Autopay machine. Probably it's his first time doing it - maybe all this time the wife has been the one using this Autopay.
And yet, he looked quite confident.

Up to the point where he's supposed to insert the parking ticket into the Autopay machine (right after the Jusco card has been accepted).

Although there were no sample of how to insert the ticket into the slot, on the ticket itself was a BIG arrow, showing the way the parking ticket is to be inserted into the reader at the exit of the parking lot.
Anyone could guess that... well, that's exactly the way the ticket should be inserted into the Autopay machine as well.

But NOOOO..! He just had to insert the ticket every other (wrong) way! Main hentam je!
The machine ended up displaying "Error in inserting ticket"

*sigh*

Maybe he didn't know there was an arrow on the ticket. Perhaps he has never seen such ticket before.
Or maybe he has never parked at such a facility requiring the vehicle owners to use "Autopay" machines (prefering not to drive to KLCC, perhaps? Take the LRT, easy eh?)

Or maybe he's from another century.

I don't know.

What I can guess... he didn't use his common sense. Come on laa.. they printed the BIG ARROW on you parking ticket for a reason, you know!

Or did you really think it was a pretty lil' decoration for the ticket?
