We live on a new-ish estate and the door numbers are confusing as they don't go up in odds/evens and there's lots of hidden cul-de-sacs randomly numbered, so we get a lot of confused drivers asking where a certain number house is and I'm always happy to help.
Tonight was on the driveway getting DD out the car and a bloke pulled up in a car, wound his window down and shouted "Number 11!" At me. I was a bit and thought I misheard, so I went up to his window and said "sorry?" And he said slowly and quite patronisingly "Number 11?".
Now I'm guessing he was frustrated at not finding the house and was therefore a bit moody but one of my huge bugbears is adults who don't say please and thank you, it (unreasonably) gives me the rage. So I replied "I think the word you're looking for is please". He rolled his eyes and said "whatever" and drove off.
I thought he was being a nob. DH said I was making a fuss over nothing and should have just told him where the house was and accepted that some people are just rude.
