The picture is of a pay station in a pay and display car park in Derry city centre.

Some people exiting the car park stick their still valid pay and display tickets on pay stations so that others coming behind them may save themselves some money and use the tickets if they so wish.

People living in other parts of Ireland were quick to point out that the same thing happens in other towns and cities.

'Happens in Sligo all of the time," said one woman.

"Come to Omagh tomorrow and you'll see the same thing," added another.

"Apparently Belfast ones leave theirs on once they've expired #derry #home," one man joked.
