My Parking Ticket

Over the weekend we went into Lisburn, yes even though we're a small 15 min walk, we took the car. We parked under the square & took a walk around, coming back to the car I stopped at the ticket machine to pay and proceeded on to the car where Babs had Jacob all in his seat ready to go.

So jumping in I began to drive and realized I'd lost the ticket, so stopping the car we begun to search unto it hit me that although I'd lifted my change from the machine I hadn't actually taken the ticket. So I jumped out and ran back as a kind lady shouted that she'd found a ticket & set it above the machine, for which I thanked her.

As I walked back to the car the car in which the said lady had got into slowed to a stop beside me and the window wound down... why? Am I going to get mocked or what's the craic?
It turned out that she was the wife of a guy that I went to school with and haven't seen for years, so as he obviously laughed at my stupidity we greeted one another & went our ways before our tickets expired.

No lessons for you from this, apart from 'remember your parking ticket', I simply thought I'd post of an embarrassing weekend moment.
