She was lazy and suffer the consequences, I don’t feel sorry for her at all."Īnother fumed: "Every time she called, you should have repeated back to her what she said, 'I won't be long.'" Especially with her lie of I won't be long. In the comments, people weren't showing the woman very much sympathy, especially as she'd lied about how long she'd be. They explained that the woman had to wait two hours extra to get out of the space - they were ready to leave at 5.50pm, and the original poster didn't leave until 7.30pm. And twice she got berated by my colleagues until one of them told to stop or they would involve the hospital's security and actually get her towed." And she called twice more to complain that she needed to leave. "Meanwhile, I was in the middle of a complex procedure that required me to be in a "white room" (sterilized room with controlled atmosphere, sterilised blouse.) so I couldn't just leave what I was doing like that. 'I make my own Nando's sharing platter in the air fryer – it's delicious and £17 cheaper' He just told her it was illegal for her to park there and now she had to wait for me or we'd call to have her towed. According to said colleague, she looked relieved as she thought he was going to move my car. Next, another colleague went out to check on my car. "Then she connected the lady to our phone, where a colleague did pretty much the same. First the secretary, a nice woman but not known for her calm temper, berated her on the phone. She had just finished ('I won't be long' my a**) and now she wanted to leave but couldn't. "No idea how she got rid of the padlock but it was old and weathered so it might just have broken. Turns out she was also a hospital worker, from another department, who had arrived late to work and couldn't find a place to park so she took the chains down and parked there. They continued: "It was a lady wondering why there was a car parked in front of her. And the day went on."Īnd they'd forgotten all about the parking situation until at 4pm, someone called the secretary 'wondering why there was a car parked in front of her'.

Plus I have a sticker on my car saying it can park at some places in the hospital for emergencies. I don't have time to go find another parking spot at this hour, which would probably be at the end of the hospital site. It's not on the road, it leaves enough sidewalk for pedestrians to be safe, and it's only blocking her. "So we decided 'You know what? My car is fine where it is. I checked if there was a phone number left under the windshield that I could call but nothing. When he opened the window to tell her not to park there, she just said 'I'm in a hurry I won't be long!' and left walking fast. One tech had witnessed by the window a lady parking in the spot around 9:40. But it turns out the car didn't belong to anyone from the lab. "At first I was thinking I would move it as soon as I found the colleague and he agreed to let me my spot. That way, the other car was stuck between the wall, the pillar, and my car. So I decided to park JUST in front of it, horizontally so that my car wouldn't be on the road. "At first I thought it was someone from the other team but I didn't agree to share the spot with anyone and I didn't recognize the car. I arrived one morning near 9:45, went to the reserved parking spot but the chain was down and the spot was taken. I was also on-call so I took my car to the lab. Usually from 10am to 7pm but it can last much longer. Then they shared exactly what happened: "A few weeks ago I started doing the evening shifts. There is another team in the lab, and we sometimes let them use the parking spot when we have others available or when we come using public transportation but otherwise we don't share it." "It is located between a pillar and another building's wall, right next to our lab.
There's a sign saying it's only for on-call lab technicians from our department, and there's a chain with a padlock in front of it. They gave some context to the story: "We have ONE reserved parking spot.
