I work both weekend nights in a nightclub, along with a fair few other people.
There's a car park behind the club with enough room for about 8 or 9 cars. It belongs to the club but often other people use it too.
Sometimes, staff go out after work, have a drink so leave their cars, collecting them the following day. I do this myself on occasion.
Anyway on Friday night I went to the car park and another worker was just parking,right across the entrance. The car park was full so this was the only place she could park.
Fine, I parked in a public car park five mins walk away.
Saturday night, I arrived earlier, hoping to get in the car park, and this car was still there, obviously she had had a drink or had some other reason to leave it.
I messaged the woman in question asking was she working that night, figuring if she was, she'd be arriving within a few minutes therefore could move her car so I could get in.
I realise now, this was foolish because the car had obviously been there all that day, from the previous night. Therefore nobody else could have got out of the car park, nor into it that day or night. I just didn't think about that, whereas now I have , I realise no point in texting her to ask if she was coming in, regardless-there would still have been no room for me!
Anyway, later on that night she replied saying she wasn't working that night due to a kerfuffle with another member of staff (none of my business why she wasn't working but that's what was said).
Anyway, I replied 'Okay, I was just asking as nobody could get in the car park'
Her replies;
1 'I do apologise. RU bein serious?'
2 (few minutes later) 'I can't b arsed arguing with u. Bit ridiculous real but wit u (I think she means I) say is this. If I wanna park in that car park that's exactly wot il do. Wgo the fuck do u think u r?'
Now, since then she's replied again. I've not opened this message but my phone shows me the first part of it, which reads 'Sorry for booting off (booting off??) last night. I jsut thought you were trying 2 hav'.... (Can't see rest).
WHAT shall I reply to this. I have to work with her? I don't understand the defensiveness, I don't know if it was/is my place to point out that It's rather selfish to block the car park so the workers in it (not just from where we work!) can't get out and nobody else can get in?
I don't know what to say at all. Plus I am rather vexed at being addressed that way in any case. I wasn't arguing!
