...to want to punch the lights out of the sanctamonious cow who said "Can't you read" to me when I accidently drove against the arrows in Tesco's car park?

Sanctamonious cow. Wanted to shout back (but wasn't quick enough) "Sorry dearie I made a mistake - like the one your mother made when she had you"

or would that have been too OTT? Grrrrr!

I get irritated when people drive against the arrows and so wouldn't do this deliberately - it was an honest mistake. However, I never feel the need to shout at other drivers.

Would bet my life that this stupid bitch has done the same at times. Oh am sooooo angry and annoyed.

Forgive bad language but am sooo cross.

ah yes, seducing and generally abusing staff is a good sign of correct breeding! Well done!!

And I am very unseemly

havent read all of the thread just the start. all i can say is you must live near me. People are sooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm right and you are wrong. arrogant full of themselves. It is a pretty place but full of people who think they are superior.

my friend who has now moved on said the women on the tesco check-out told her off for stacking her groceries too high

yes, I know. I own the company.

That's why we don't associate with the cadets. Too much given to unseemly public squabbling.

LordPan - I think you'll find I've had my title a good deal longer than you've had yours. Oh, and here's where to buy your own silver

Well yes an adult would stop (I did stop walking when I saw him but he still slammed on his brakes when he spotted me which was what probably shook him up)but a child probably wouldn't stop .

Backtobasics · 09/07/2007 22:06

I see what you mean but if i see a car is pulling out or reversing, i tend not to carry on walking behind him/her. I am not saying thats what you do but i have had many people carry on walking right behind me when they can clearly see i am reversing out.

Goodness we're are all so dourly sensible!

bookwormmum · 09/07/2007 22:01

B2B - I nearly got run over by a car once in a one-way system since the (male) driver was so busy looking right, he pulled out left assuming the road was clear.... I was in actual fact crossing the road to my own car at that time. His face was a picture when he realised he'd nearly had me under his wheels. Had I been a child, I doubt if he'd have seen me. Please always check for hazards even in a one-way system .

Backtobasics · 09/07/2007 21:51

I know if you knowingly drive down a no entry in a carpark you think it's harmless and even find it amusing to do so but if someone does what i did and reverse without looking both ways thinking no one is going to be coming down a one way, it's so not funny. I imagine the person who reversed would be the one who gets done if they smack into you? It just causes unnessisary grief.

We have no entry signs on the ends of the rows in out local Tesco car park - I would expect a careful driver to notice them, but obviously not the woman who tried to drive in to the one I was exiting last week.

She gave me an angry look and I gave her a hard stare back and pointed to the sign - she backed up and drove off - I think that she left in a huff.

Backtobasics · 09/07/2007 21:41

If you did it accidently then it doesn't matter as we all make mistakes. I had an incidend though a while back when i reversed out of my parking space looking left when suddenly was beeped by another driver who i nearly hit because he was to my right. He was very angry but he had drove down a no entry so he was in the wrong, i didn't look right as i was pulling it because i wasn't expecting some twerp to be coming from that direction with it being one way and all...

CodinaKag · 09/07/2007 21:33

LordPan · 09/07/2007 20:54

unknownrebelbang · 09/07/2007 20:49

Blow a kiss next time, lol.

jojosmaman · 09/07/2007 20:48

Just hijacking! aibu to have wanted to find the woman in IKEA who shouted at me for parking in a child space and to shove my babies car seat up her nose!! She wound down her window and scowled at me "THAT'S A CHILD SPACE HAVE YOU GOT A BABY????" I only said "yes" back to her but I was really wound up later that I hadnt called her a stupid cow as well! I know how annoying it is when none child cars go in these spaces but surely you would not say anything until you knew for sure there was no baby/ child!!

She was peed off cos she had sped up to get in a space nearer the door and so I went in the space a bit further away but she had gone inso a disabled one by mistake and obviously wanted me to move!! Just because I wasn't driving a people carrier!

Feel better already
