When running errands, some of us might just park our vehicle illegally as we know we'll be back in a few minutes.
However, you might want to stop doing so altogether, as it apparently doesn't take too long for the powers that be to wheel-clamp your vehicle.
Taking to Facebook on Thursday (Dec 22), a GrabFood rider shared about an incident while on the job at Sky Vue condo in Bishan yesterday evening.
"It was raining heavily and I parked at the carpark to [deliver] food," the rider said, adding that security personnel there then swooped in to clamp his motorbike two minutes later.
In the accompanying photos, a sign beside the motorbike urged the delivery rider to contact condo security.
Acknowledging that he had parked the motorbike illegally, the rider lamented about the $214 fine.
He then cautioned fellow delivery riders to just follow instructions given by the security guards, regardless of how heavy the rain was.
"A day of my earnings gone," he said.
In the comments, netizens were polarised, with some of them calling him out for even complaining about the fine in the first place.
Some commenters said that he deserved it for disobeying the condo's rule in the first place, while others pointed out that the main issue was him inconveniencing others by parking his bike in such close proximity to the lift lobby.
Others were more understanding, and called for people to be more empathetic. They questioned if the punishment was really needed as he was braving the rain and was only gone for a short period of time.
