To have pomped my horn?

[Friedmushroom]

Will try and keep this quick but I’m so annoyed by the car park stand off I’ve just had that I need to know AIBU?

So, I’ve just been parked up in a dark car park, in a dark coloured car, no lights on. Another car pulls up and starts to reverse into the space right next to me, which is a disabled spot so huuuuge, and with plenty of other spaces around. Car reverses at a funny angle, at speed, and VERY close to my car, so close both passenger and me think it’s going to make contact.

I pomp my horn, car keeps coming so I lean on horn. Driver peers round at me shouting and gesticulating. She finishes parking (with me and passenger both wincing), winds window down and starts having a go.

Apparently I’m BU to have pomped as she has reversing cameras so knew I was there. My stand point is; you were literally an inch away from my car (when there’s two whole empty spaces to play with), I don’t know you have cameras, I was warning you that I was there. Car accidents happen every single day so I was making sure you didn’t hit me. She thought this was a ridiculous point and can obviously drive properly as she has passed her test , “people wouldn’t pass their test if they didn’t know how to park”.

I’m so annoyed by her attitude, but she clearly thought I was completely ridiculous. I think it would have been ridiculous for me to have sat in my car and just allowed her to reverse into it. So Mumsnet, AIBU?

YANBU - I have nearly reversed into someone before and they beeped their horn so I stopped. I was grateful not mad.

"Pomped"?

[Umbongoumbongo999]

Surely you parped?

[Stickytreacle]

Sorry, can't get beyond Pomped 😂😂😂

[rainbowthoughts]

It's a typo for honked

[CaviarAndCigarettes]

Over here you beep or toot.

Both would be acceptable in the circumstance

The word pomped is what made me click on the thread 🤣🤣🤣

Now having a little chuckle to myself imagining someone watching someone slow motion collide with their own car and farting loudly in shock 🤣

This happened to me last week. I was the reversing person. I definitely wasn’t as close as that as my sensors had barely started but the person in the space behind beeped me. It gave me a shock as it was dark and I didn’t know there was anyone in the car. Maybe you caught her off guard so she reacted strongly because of that. For what it’s worth I felt bad that she’d thought I was going to reverse into her but didn’t think any more of it except lucky I didn’t reverse into anyone.

Da fuck, pomped?

[Friedmushroom]

‘Pomped’ is fairly common up here (Lancashire) wonder if it’s a regional thing?

[theonlywayisup33]

I like that you pomped your horn

[Hotelhelp]

It’s peeped or beeped FYI

[22Giraffes]

Clicked for pomped comments, not disappointed
