The other day DH was pulling his (big) van out of a parking space on our road. He accidentally touched the car behind, but didn't get out to check as it was a very light touch. The woman whose car it was came rushing out of her house effing and blinding and so he got out of the van (I was in with DS) to talk to her. He looked at the car with her - not a mark, apologised profusely but she wasn't having it, 'I don't want your effing apology you effing c', as the car wasn't marked we weren't sure what she wanted. Anyway we drove off hoping that she didn't actually live on our (new, very friendly) road. Sadly she does - I was walking up the road today and she was really staring at me, with a very nasty look. She was a big muscular woman, bigger than my DH and she looked like she could have laid him out TBH!
I might be being paranoid (probably am) but she really did look threatening today. I am very worried as my DH has just applied for his ILR and if she had a go at him he'd have a go back (verbally) and I'd hate an incident to jeaopardise his residency. I was wondering whether she might have been a bit racist as well (DH is dark skinned). Racism and threatening behaviour is not something we are used to and I feel a bit unhappy that we seem to have found it in our new street.
BTW I know DH was BU to have tried to drive off without checking - but it was a tiny touch, we could tell no harm was done. Also - either her car or the one in front was parked after he parked as the space was much smaller than when he parked.
Tell me I'm being silly please?
