I started my new job around six months ago. I have realised that there is a lot of pettiness amongst work colleagues and a lot of bitching, awful atmospheres etc. I have tried to keep away from the gossiping and moaning and just got on with the work. I try to get along with most of them.
To cut a long story short, I rotated on to nights last week. I sensed a bit of a clique to be honest, despite trying to make conversation and generally help others out. Anyway, a work colleague asked me if I could drop her off at the bus stop at the end of her shift, and I willingly agreed. For the last four months or so, I have been parking over the road in a car park which has plenty of spaces and has no barrier. I will admit that I shouldn't really be parking there, as it is for employees with a different coloured car sticker. She asked me if I was allowed to park there and I said I don't think so but have been doing so for over four months and nobody has noticed. She just said "Oh." and then I dropped her off. I then got the feeling that I shouldn't have said anything. Five days later I got into my car and noticed a parking ticket with a fine. Have I been grassed up or am I being paranoid? Too much of a coincidence if you ask me, and dirty behaviour from her...
