@DonaldInDenial I run a pub with a juke box that plays its own music when no money is put in. In 12 months I did not hear one MJ song. Now it’s every hour. Since like, 2 weeks ago. I am here for this part of the story.
Dear @manairport I forgot to pay the parking in time from Friday. Do I have to go through the rigmarole of appealing? It was my mums car and she’s partially blind so I’ve told her to let me know if PCN arrives but I’d like to sort out please.
The most painful part of ADHD isn’t distraction
It's something called Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. It turns small moments into emotional avalanches. A late reply feels like rejection, a neutral tone feels cold, a tiny mistake feels like you’ve ruined everything. And even when you know it’s not that deep, your brain reacts like it is, fast, loud, and all at once.
It’s not being “too sensitive.” It’s emotional regulation hitting overload. The spiral, the overthinking, the urge to disappear...it’s your nervous system trying to protect you from rejection. And over time, it doesn’t just hurt… it makes you afraid to reach out at all.
@estefy12@dvk0368@manairport Seems I’ve upset a few people too who don’t like it when people are actually human and forget things. I bet they’re fun at parties 🤣🤣
@mfdworldrover@manairport Crikey bet your employee engagement scores are high with that approach. It was a question that got answered and now I know how it works if you forget to pay. My mum will get the letter and I’ll sort it. Sorry I angered you so much!
@mfdworldrover@manairport Ok dad. Thanks for the sage advice. Hope you never get busy running your business and make a mistake or forget something.
Seems there’s alternative options anyway so a lesson worth learning!
@GingertabsT@woods5249@manairport You’re right it’s not. And we’ve only ourselves to blame for allowing businesses to screw us over. But at least I’ve had an answer from the airport so I don’t need to dwell and a few nice folk seeing it for what it is. A drain on everyone’s time. Annoyingly I paid a fiver now.
@ukheather@stemosses@manairport Cos the PCN will go to her! If I know it’s on its way (which I now do) I can remind but as if we don’t all have enough to do. Which is why I forgot.
@GingertabsT@woods5249@manairport Compassion for missing a deadline by a day. I have no issues on paying what’s owed and I’d much rather they have a barrier like they used to.
We’re all busy / forgetful at times so yeah, a bit of compassion wouldn’t go amiss sometimes.
@manairport What a palaver. Would just prefer to pay at barrier. I was dropping a friend off and now they feel bad for me. I’ve paid anyway with the wrong dates as had no intention of not paying. Just another thing for the endless to do list!
