Woman's fake parking fines divides internet
Finding a parking ticket on your windscreen is the last thing you'd want to see after a day out - but last month dozens of drivers were greeted with fake fines made by one woman who wanted to spread "a little kindness".
Melbourne woman Karina went viral for her odd marketing tactic, where she put handmade fake fines onto cars, public phones and lamp posts across the city's southeast, in a bid to promote her photography business.
The "infringement" note read: "Notice to owners: We saw you pull into this car park and I wanted to tell you that you look absolutely beautiful today, your smile could light up a whole room...
"Just to make your day a little more special than you already are, I want to give you $30 towards my beach prints from my travels."
When asked why she did it, Karina told Yahoo News: "I decided to do it to make people's day by spreading a little kindness. It was a reminder that life is too short."
"They're going to think it's a fine but little do they know that it's actually some money towards a print for our store."
While there were a few that praised her "hustle" mentality, saying that they "love this idea" and thought it was "cute", others were less pleased.
"No this would make me have a panic attack," one wrote.
"I thought this was wholesome until I realised ya'll are just trying to sell stuff," another added.
