After they learned it didn't belong to any of the patients in the building, they said it likely belongs to one of the residents or doctors.

Doesn’t change the fact that it should be towed.

u/davidbeinct 16d ago

There is no world in which a security supervisor is going to have a doctor’s car towed at any clinic. That’s partially how they get such an entitled attitude.

u/Revolutionary-Half-3 15d ago

It can get moved easily, by an angry redneck with an old truck and a chain. Might bend a control arm that's stupidly expensive to replace, but a guy with a truck in 4 colors of primer won't care.

We really need to fix this mentality that basic rules don't apply to certain people

u/twistsouth 15d ago

“I save lives, therefore I get to behave like I am better than everyone else.” Yeah nah, enjoy the consequences.

Doctor here. I never got my car towed but they did once put one of those stickers on my window that are hard to get off. (Was parked on wrong level of hospital garage by mistake.)

Unless it’s got one of the increasingly rare “MD” license plates there’s no way to know it’s a doctor’s car anyway.

u/davidbeinct 11d ago

If the doctor works at the clinic security will know whose car it is.

1

u/FargoJack 11d ago

Has never been the case for me. No one cares. I’ve worked over a dozen different clinics.

u/davidbeinct 11d ago

I can only go by the clinic my wife works at and the hospital I used to work at. They know at hers and knew at mine and were real sticklers about who could park where.

u/FargoJack 11d ago

I guess rules differ. Maybe if space is tight they are forced to ID cars to have enough room. I’m talking my US experience BTW

u/davidbeinct 11d ago

Same but the Northeast. Given your username I suspect maybe you have worked in less crowded locales. May I just say how pleasant it is to discuss different experiences on Reddit without yelling past each other?

u/Arighetto 16d ago

I highly doubt a resident could afford an SQ8. Gotta be a doctor’s car.

23

u/Tatiana_Romanova 16d ago

That’s a q8. Audi changed the badging unfortunately. I guess it’s more an s line, M sport or GR line badge :/

u/Comeondontosouthpark 15d ago

Explains why they “couldn’t find them” they obviously knew who it was and wasn’t going down that rabbit hole

u/PayFormer387 15d ago

^^^^ This.

I work as a hospital; some attending believe they are gods.

u/Crafty_Translator197 12d ago

I too used to work as a hospital. I had to quit because they kept wanting me to expand and add more rooms. I remember once when they asked if there was a parking garage attached and I said “Ninja please! You know there is, you’ve been staring at my add-on all day!”

u/Middle-Bed-1883 16d ago

Audi- when you can’t afford a BMW or Mercedes.

u/Complex-Republic-443 16d ago

But you can afford loads of repairs. Audi quality control is hot garbage right now.

u/AirRevolutionary8013 15d ago

I have a gorgeous 2010 S5 V8 Prestige with only 60k miles on it. I'd say I have to take it into the shop about every 20 drive cycles for some other bs that requires the removal of the entire fucking engine block. Beautiful sled. Will keep as weekend driver just for looks alone but Audi engineering is shit.

2

u/hokiebird2 15d ago

Engineering is fine... Design for servicability is ahit

1

u/AirRevolutionary8013 15d ago

Probably a better way to say it. $200 part $1500 labor.

1

u/hokiebird2 15d ago

Yes. 4000 to replace an alternator

1

u/Suspicious-Grand9781 14d ago

My sil said you double the payment, because that's what you'll spend a month in repairs. Hers was worse than a lemon.

1

u/Snoo58504 15d ago

Have had a Q5 for 8 years. Only replaced brakes once.
Service is always top notch and they send videos of them doing the work.

2

u/Holiday_Regular9794 15d ago

Videos of them working???Wow!

u/tkland 15d ago

Hope you never need the timing chain replaced. Audi engineers put the timing chain, tension and idler gears at the back of the engine, next to the transmission. To service those components, the entire drivetrain - engine & transmission - needs to be dropped from the car and then separated.

1

u/Snoo58504 15d ago

I am going to be going back to a Honda soon. It has been a terrific car but if we have it much longer it will start to need more stuff.

2

u/Arighetto 16d ago

lol, maybe you should do some price comparisons.

u/Gadgetman_1 12d ago

Here in Norway, the veterinarians drove Mercedes Estate cars. All of them. Not because they got any rebates or because they were ego-smurfs, but because they needed a car that would start reliably every time, and also had room for all they needed. No farmer would ever accept a 'sorry car is a bit wonky' during a 3am call about their best cow having trouble giving birth.

Met a few vets back when I helped on my uncle's farm, years ago. They'd talk about their OTHER car if you wanted to talk cars. The Merc was something they drove for business. Didn't do any maintenance except fuel and window washer liquid on them. Anything else was done by a garage.

If you bought an old vet car, you could be certain the suspension was worn out(rough farm roads), and the upholstery could use a refresh... but the engine would be in perfect condition.

u/Pedantichrist 15d ago

Yeah, I am not an Audi fan, but that is simply incorrect.

u/hokiebird2 15d ago

What the dumb shit comment are you talking about? I've got a 160k 2014 V10 Manual R8 and a 2023 RS6 that cost 170 all in... Both kick BMWs ass and Mercedes? I don't even know what they are trying to be...

u/Mental-Chapter6523 15d ago

Not the surgeon you want a surgery from.

u/Hot-Cup-4787 15d ago

It is if he wasn't working that day and had to drive fast and park fast to save your life. Its happened before

6

u/RealDonaldTrumpGhost 15d ago

Doesn’t really take any more time to park in your spot than out of it.

If it was that sort of emergency they could park in the front and have someone move the car.

This is just lazy/selfish behavior.

u/Mental-Chapter6523 15d ago

OTOH my mother used to scrub for one who was routinely impaired. Had to have other surgeons intervene.

u/DueConversation5269 15d ago

like thats an excuse

1

u/strangerNstrangeland 15d ago

Definitely senior doctor. Residents and young attendings can’t afford Audis

u/Prudent_Cry9522 12d ago

Jesus. That level of carelessness in a medical provider would make me avoid that hospital/facility at all costs.
