To be annoyed at people in large 4X4 pickups to complain that parking spaces too small

Hi, I had parked my car neatly within the lines marked out for the parking bay and was just returning back to it when a woman in a MASSIVE pick-up truck parks right next to me and so i have to wait as she gets out of her car.
She almost bashes my side of the car and then she gives me a look an says "Its not my fault these spaces are not big enough"
I had to really bite my tongue as she had two school age children with her as i would have loved to have said "well, most people drive normal cars and we don't all have a fat arse like you"
Because, no kidding, she was a fat arsed lady, almost totally round, no wonder she can't fit in spaces.
God help her if someone blocks her in, should be a funny sight trying to crawl in the boot to move the car.
Sorry about the rant, but she really got on my goat.

You probably had some sympathy until the bit about the "fat arse".

I bet the school age kids were in state/private uniform (delete as applicable)

Don't feel threatened by thoughts you imagine other people are having about you.

Because we're all wondering if it could've been one of us

And it's downright rude.

Rubyslippers · 26/06/2007 17:55

because the size of her bum had nothing to do with her ability (or not) to park

Well I was with you when I read the headline - and even thought you didn't need the last clause.

Then I read the OP. Erm did you really need to say that stuff about weight?
Was not nice.
