Grr. You buy a ticket with Apple Pay on your phone and it turns out to be a paper ticket like it’s the 19th Century or something. So I have to collect it from the machine. Which wants the bank card with which I paid for it. Which is impossible since I used Apple Pay.

(Fortunately any bank card will do and the assistant put hers in, but but but)
