Who should pay the parking fine?

[newmummylucy]

Afternoon all!

Abit of a lighthearted AIBU for you all to settle a debate between me and my mum 😅 (we're not arguing - it's just a lighthearted debate - we're both grown women)

I asked my mum to pick a parcel up for me that had been delivered to a collection point as I was unable to go & it was on my mums way home from work...she went to get the parcel but parked somewhere she shouldn't have and has now got a parking fine.

Who should pay? Me because I asked her to get the parcel, or her because she chose to park irresponsibly? 🙊

Thanks!

Your mum.

Why on earth would it be your responsibility when you weren't even there?

Your mum

The driver is responsible for where they park.

Always the driver. Hope she's not asking

Mum. No one made her park in the wrong place. You weren’t there

Depends. Was she caught out in what seemed like a perfectly ok place to park? Or did she chance her arm on double yellows or similar?

definitely she should pay.
she chose to park badly

If she offered to pick the parcel, she should pay.If you asked her may be you should pay coz she wouldn't be there without you asking her.

Your mum

Defo your mum should pay unless you made her park irresponsible

Her, of course, no doubt about it.

Technically your mum, but better to go halves and not ask her again, for the sake of family harmony!

Unless you told her to park there, it’s her responsibility. But as she was doing you a favour it would be kind to split it if you can afford it

She's a grown woman and responsible for her own actions. I can't imagine being so cheeky as to even ask someone to pay my parking fine.

Split the bill.💐

I'd offer to pay because it's the nice thing to do, regardless of who's fault it is.

50/50

Unless she left her car in a really stupid spot I'd offer to pay, or at least split, since she was good enough to do the favour.

Her.

You asked her to pick up a parcel not park inappropriately.

She also had the option to decline if she thought parking would be a problem.

My dad got a parking fine dropping me and my newborn son home from the hospital.
He did pay for it - I was rather broke at the time and he wasn't! He said it was worth it though

Her!
