I probably was a bit unreasonable BUT I double parked to leave dc (very small babies) in the car outside the fish and chip shop while I ran in and picked up order. Bitch car parking woman called out to me from her van as I was walking in the shop that I was parked on a double yellow. Literally 1 second later she was outside putting a ticket on my car and I was literally out of my car for 3 min while I picked up lunch. I was incensed that she wasn't even on patrol but had spotted me from her van and gone out of her sodding way to give me a ticket. I was so angry I called her a fecking bitch and threw the ticket on the floor. Dc too young to notice. Bit embarrassed about anyone else who saw though. Miserable cow!

seriously??? you parked illegally and she TOLD you (so giving you a chance to move) and you ignored her. So she gave you a ticket and you swore at her? And by throwing the ticket away you lost out on the opportunity to have the penalty halved...... YABU and I am surprised you need to ask

Thems the chances you take when you park illegally. So YWBU to park there and YWdefinitelyBU to swear at her.

I agree Ghostship. People like the OP really exist and make the lives of others an utter misery.

This sort of thread is why I go out of my way to be polite to traffic wardens, they do a horrible job.

I find it hard to believe there are people like the OP, but there are.

well, i hope you still have the details of how to pay - just throwing the ticket on the floor in a strop does not make it go away.

YABU. you double parked on double yellow lines. Surely you know that you could get a ticket for that?

you do now.

Yes you were unreasonable to leave your badly parked car on a double yellow with your very small babies inside!

YABU. Don't Park on double yellow lines and don't swear at someone who had the decency to warn you in the first place. You should feel embarrassed. Hope you enjoyed your expensive fish and chips.

Surely you know YABU. You knew you had parked illegally. Double yellow lines don't mean 'don't park here unless you'll only be three minutes in a chipshop'. You have no right at all to be pissed off.

In all honesty I've been known to swear and jump up and down on a parking ticket Blush But that was because I was towed and THEN had to pay a ticket on top.

She certainly sounds like a jobsworth, which is irritating in itself. But a "double yellow" line is strictly out of bounds as is a red route one.

Why not just park legally - like you know you should?

I don't think the parking warden is the bitch.

What do you want people to say OP?

That because you had small babies in the car and were just gone for 3 minutes, then she shouldn't have issued a ticket?

Or that you were perfectly ok to call a person doing their job a bitch?

It's not going to happen is it.

Next time, follow the rules re parking.
Don't leave your babies in the car
And don't abuse people that are doing a job.
