Perhaps it91裸聊视频檚 my OCD, but since moving to Victoria in December I91裸聊视频檝e made sure to be early when catching the ferry.

Like really early.

I make sure I91裸聊视频檓 there an hour early despite having a reservation. It just keeps me calm.

But I get that others like to throw caution to the wind and get to the Swartz Bay terminal exactly 30 minutes before, as per BC Ferries instructions. (Just thinking about arriving at the last minute makes my brow get moist and my hands shake.)

Then there is a Greater Victoria couple who had a recent ferry reservation but showed up four minutes late, according to a Facebook post they made under the title of 91裸聊视频淏cferry complain91裸聊视频� that actually claims they are the victims.

The couple posted a video of them arguing with a BC Ferries crew and claiming they were 91裸聊视频渆victed91裸聊视频� from the property after being denied entry to the ferry.

The couple admits they were late, but claim the person at the ticket gate put them in the 91裸聊视频渨rong91裸聊视频� lane to get on and that other late arrivals were put into different lanes and allowed onto the ferry.

They then argued with the ferry staff in their lane demanding to know why they weren91裸聊视频檛 allowed on the ferry, alleging a 91裸聊视频渟inister91裸聊视频� manager 91裸聊视频渆victed91裸聊视频� them.

The couple is now demanding a refund because of course they are.

You can hear in the video the ferry staff trying really hard to explain things and being exceedingly polite until they finally get fed up and tell them to leave the BC Ferries property. There91裸聊视频檚 only so much abuse some people will take.

What91裸聊视频檚 funny is that the couple posted the video on Facebook expecting that people would take up their cause and defend them.

They got the exact opposite reaction.

The results were brutal as dozens of people explained that the rules actually apply to everybody.

91裸聊视频淚f this was a reservation, you have to be there 30 minutes early,91裸聊视频� wrote one person. 91裸聊视频淭hey are very strict about it. It says when you buy your ticket online you agree to terms and conditions. You were very rude.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淟ady you just embarrassed yourself,91裸聊视频� wrote another.

91裸聊视频淭ake some responsibility for yourself 91裸聊视频� quit trying to blame everyone else,91裸聊视频� wrote another.

I echo those responses. The rules are the same for everyone. It says quite clearly to not be late. If you91裸聊视频檙e late, just take the L and wait for the next ferry. Don91裸聊视频檛 berate the staff for your own failures and also don91裸聊视频檛 post video of you being a ginormous baby on the internet.
