@oldrawgabbit @briankrebs Recently, I had to use one of these parking apps. I created an account and I had to verify it by entering a code sent via SMS, which never arrived. I emailed their customer service and I was told to call an 800 number. I tried calling, but I got a “The number you have dialled is unallocated” message from 3 different phones (by that time I already have moved my car to a different lot). (1/2)

@oldrawgabbit *be careful with scanning wild QR codes please

The complaints read:

“I don't want to scan a QR code for everything.
I don't want to "create an account" to see a menu on a website.
I don't want to "download the app" to pay for parking or anything else.
I don't want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. | just want to exist in the physical world without having to hand over all my personal information.”
