This afternoon I took my friend to a specialist eye appointment. Instead of clogging up the waiting room I drove around the corner and parked under a shady tree (live in Aust) to make calls and send emails.
After 30 mins a woman knocks on my passenger window to ask when I would be moving. When I said I didn't know she then wanted to know what I was doing. I politely told her that it was none of her business and she then called me rude for not giving her a good answer. She went inside, returning shortly to take a photo of my car. It grated but I said and did nothing. Immediately prior to picking up my friend I hopped out and took my own photos of how and where my car was parked.
Sorry - this is going to be long!
A short time ago I receive 3 calls in 10 mins from a private number. I decided to answer the 4th.
A male introduces himself with rank and name and proceeded to ask if I had been parked outside such and such address. I replied that I had, asked what the problem was and what had I done wrong for him to phone me. Apparently I had upset an older lady and given her concern. So I said I was sorry that she was alarmed and he then told me it would be better to park elsewhere. I reminded him that I had been parked legally and minding my own business and I would like that to be passed on to the lady concerned. But was told that wasn't his job.
At that comment I concluded there was something 'off'' so asked for his ID# and station to talk face to face with him or any officer to discuss the issue.
Cue - delay and a mumbling answer. Thanked him and I hung up.
So, have I jumped to the wrong conclusion that this call wasn't bona fide? And if it isn't legit - how in the heck did he get my mobile number?
