We went for a cheeky day out, found a car park and parked up.
At the pay station was one of them Q box thingies to download the info and pay.
We did it , it didn’t work and there was a gaggle of folk having the same issue.
With a bit of faffing we managed to pay.
Anyway, getting some stuff out of the boot a couple of ladies, approached me and asked how to pay for parking. I explained that after some difficulties that several people had encountered we had managed it as the board says electronically.
The weirdest thing, lady number one got really really stroppy with me. Saying that she doesn’t have a phone or computer to pay for parking. How the hell was she supposed to pay with no phone, she doesn’t own one.
She was raising her voice and really getting annoyed.
She demanded to know why she couldn’t pay with coins. I replied that I don’t know and that as far as I could see, it’s electronic payment only.
She then shouted at me, “well I’m leaving my car and don’t know what will happen”.
I was fucked off by this time at being fucking shouted at by a stranger so I said that she should expect a fine through her door, shut my boot and walked off.
WTF Is wrong with people! I don’t own the car park! I didn’t know she doesn’t have s phone! I was being helpful & chatty I thought.
AIBU to think “bay shit” lady was not right.
