JOHANNESBURG – In a groundbreaking turn of events at OR Tambo International Airport, a parking attendant has successfully transformed a mundane gig into a thriving side hustle. Over the course of four days, the unnamed hero embarked on 27 joyrides in Stephanie Walters’ Smart ForFour, covering an impressive 119 kilometers and inadvertently achieving the dream of every valet attendant – becoming a part-time Uber driver.

Stephanie Walters, a globetrotting entrepreneur, returned from her business trip to London only to discover that her car had been on a joyous adventure of its own. The boot bore the scars of a flour battle, and documents left on the back seat were rearranged like a poorly executed art installation. Now, Walters is demanding answers from Rainbow Parking, the external service provider recommended by the airport, and also secretly considering a career in automotive avant-garde art.

Witnesses say the parking attendant, now fondly known as “The Nomadic Valet,” skillfully maneuvered through the bustling streets of Johannesburg, blissfully unaware that they were fulfilling the dreams of an aspiring Uber driver. The parking attendant even left behind a mixed tape titled “Parking Lot Jams” featuring classic hits like “Highway to the Valet Zone” and “Sweet Car O’ Mine.”

During an exclusive interview that may or may not be a product of our vivid imaginations, the parking attendant staunchly defended their actions, contending that they were merely assisting the Smart ForFour in unlocking its full potential.

“I saw that little car sitting there, yearning for the open road. It had this aura of untapped potential. So, I took it upon myself to liberate it from the monotony of the parking lot. Think of it as a public service, really,” said The Nomadic Valet, sporting a pair of sunglasses, possibly from the car’s glove compartment.

This incident has reignited concerns about external valet services, with one disgruntled driver sharing a traumatic experience of having their bakkie bumped and resprayed (badly) by another valet company. In response, car owners are considering alternative parking solutions, such as training pigeons to guard their vehicles or investing in a fleet of guard flamingos.

As Stephanie Walters seeks answers, The Nomadic Valet remains unapologetically proud of their feat, urging car owners to see the silver lining – at least their vehicles are getting a taste of the high-octane life they’ve always dreamed of.
