A man was having a good time at an event with his friend until his friend got a parking ticket. The friend then insisted he was partly responsible, so he should contribute money towards the ticket. Now he’s fallen out with his friend, and they haven’t spoken in days.
He went to an event with his friend
He went to an event with his 32-year-old male friend. They decided to meet at his friend’s house, who would then drive them to the location of the event.
His friend parked the car
After a typical car journey, they arrived at their destination. His friend parked the car in a place that his friend said was ok and looked like it shouldn’t be an issue.
They went to the event
They walked to the event they had traveled there for and got in without any problems. Both of them had a fun time. At the end of the event, they headed back to his friend’s car.
The car had a ticket
When they arrived back at the car, his friend found a parking ticket on his windscreen. It turned out his friend had parked in the wrong space, where he wasn’t allowed to legally park.
His friend freaked out
When he found out he had got a parking ticket for parking in the wrong place, his friend freaked out. But after a while, the friend started to calm down again.
His friend told him that he was responsible
When he was calmer, his friend told him that since he’d come with him in the car, he was also partly responsible for the parking ticket. Because of this, the friend expected him to contribute towards the cost of the parking ticket.
He disagreed
In response to being told he was partially responsible for the unfortunate parking ticket, he told his friend that he disagreed. He said he thought it was ridiculous to pass on the blame. As he’d had no control over the parking or any idea that the ticket would happen, he argued that he wasn’t responsible.
He continued to fight his corner
In fact, he said he had no control over any of the driving decisions whatsoever. He didn’t tell his friend where to park at any point, so why would he be at all responsible?
He and his friend had a fight
Because they disagreed, he and his friend got into a huge fight. He wouldn’t agree to pay some of the fine, and his friend wouldn’t drop the fact that he shared the responsibility and should pay. As a result of the fight, he hasn’t spoken to his friend in days.
He looked to the internet for advice
With his friendship on the line, he began to wonder whether or not he was right to refuse to pay some of the parking ticket or whether he should have just paid up. He decided to ask an online forum for their thoughts.
The internet responded
One forum user said, “He’s the driver. It’s his vehicle. If he picked the spot and you had no comment or influence on it, then it’s on him. Now, if you wanna pitch in, that’d be cool, but it’s not required.”
Another commentator responded, “The only situation where I’d disagree is if the passenger knows the parking situation better and tells the driver where it’s safe to park but was incorrect, and the driver got a ticket because of it. I’ve been the driver and the passenger in that situation, and both times it was whoever was incorrect that paid the ticket..”
