23-year-old employee demands that 24-year-old coworker pays for her parking ticket because she said they could park there: 'She was lying!'

Some coworkers cannot be trusted, but it seems that in this situation, both parties are to blame. This relatively new hire went out to dinner with her coworker, who insisted that the unmarked parking spot they chose was not going to result in the former employee receiving a ticket. Unfortunately, the coworker was mistaken.

Now, the employee with the ticket is insisting that her coworker pay it off, which ignited a fiery debate online as to who is in the right here. After all, just because the coworker had been living in this city longer than the person who was driving had does not mean that she should be aware of every single parking rule. Of course, this debate inevitably is going to create a tense atmosphere in the office moving forward. Whose fault is that really? Is it the coworker who assumed their parking spot wouldn't be an issue, or is it the author who had a bad feeling about the spot but ultimately agreed with her coworker? We're of the opinion that while the whole parking debacle is a bummer, there is no point in creating more office drama over it. Since the author is so insistent that her coworker is in the wrong, it would behoove the coworker to propose a compromise where both parties split the ticket evenly. 

However, given that the coworker also seems to be a stubborn individual, we highly doubt that this will happen. One can surmise that this story serves as the perfect example of why going out with your coworkers after work too often is a bad idea. We don't fully agree with that mentality, but the intense fallout over this parking ticket certainly helps prove that theory.
