Parking attendant intimidating and bullying woman - Legs11

Hi.

In Scotland .

In a private shopping car park.

I entered car park and noticed guy in high vis. I then drove around to find a empty space. The guy follows me.

Upon trying to parallel park( not driven for a few months) I noticed said guy standing staring in my window. As there was tree work being done I thought he was a worky passing by , but it was a bit concerting to have him keep looking at me through 3 long attempted parallel parking.

I opened my window and stated I hadnt parked for a while, to which he replied " Are you going to be parking".

He proceeded around my car after I innocently stated yes and started writing out a ticket. My car is half parked with its front still out, engine on and me still trying to reverse park.

So I stopped the car , engine still running and confronted the " parking attendant.

I have it all on video . When I ask if he is writing my cars details on his parking ticket he said yes that i have not paid for parking before. It must be about 6 months since I actually drove

He writes out ticket, even though I state to him I haven't even parked yet.

He then states he is giving ticket to his centre management. And trots off.

Total intimidation from a man to a woman.

This was intimidation and bullying as all he needed to do was give a ticket if I walked away and did not put ticket on car.

Any advice.

Spoke to his lower boss, who sounded like he couldn't give a fig.

I think it's still v. difficult to enforce private land tickets in Scotland.

Parking Vultures, in Scotland, cannot enforce their invoices - they do not know who is driving if you do not tell them. They cannot go to court as they have no name - assuming you did not tell them.

I received roughly 5 threats of invoices in the last 6 months - the last one stating they would take action via a County Court (we do not have County Courts in Scotland) and, as they do not have the driver's details they cannot take anyone to any court.

When the stakes are high enough, they sometimes do enforce their invoices. These cases are from 2017, and it is possible that they made the mistake of nominating the driver.

I recognise the unpleasantness of this behaviour, but don't see the relevance of the 'gender' issue ? It could quite well have happened to a male driver, surely ?

It might but I think men bullying women is more common than the same men bullying men.

We have someone locally whose obsession with where dogs poo seems to focus on women.
