Was I wrong to egg the car?!

You are unreasonable to egg the car now, it’s a waste of good egg because of all the rain. You should have waited for nice sunny weather instead, to bake it in.

So your solution to someone obstructing the pavement is to block them in so they can't move?

So you don't want to be traced for doing it?
Not really standing up for your beliefs then is it. If you really think what the driver did was so bad and your actions are justified you'd surely be happy to be held accountable for it

You say that there were loads of other spaces..... two wrongs don't make a right, but I did laugh when I read this.
Good for you 👍

If the car was really bothering you, you could have asked the police to make contact with the driver. Perhaps the driver just didn't realise- say if there are no double yellow lines for instance. Is the signage real or has someone just put it there to try to keep the pathway clear?
And yes I think as an adult woman YABU to throw eggs. Littering, vandalism.. come on, you know this isn't on!
However, it's done now, you can't really do much about it.

It's heartbreaking isn't it? I keep a few ex 'free range' girls in my flock and they are always in a state when I pick them up. The whole egg business is a disgrace tbf but it's a step up from caged hens, just.

I doubt that very much.

YABU op, any moral high ground you did have disappeared when you egged the car.
Do you have a local FB page, if so I'd be expecting to see yourself on it pretty soon with the amount of Ring Doorbells around now

Yep, my thoughts exactly. If they were the kind of people to read a note and not do it again, fair enough, but the vast majority won't give a shit and will carry on doing it. "Normal" people wouldn't have parked like a cunt in the first place!

They might retrieve it for handwriting analysis

I agree, but first we need to get police and councils to actually issue "normal" parking fines for illegal parking/obstruction. As it stands, you report a car and the police say it's the council's responsibility and then council say it's the police, and neither bother to do anything!!

Added to that, we need a kind of "totting up" process in the same was as speeding offences, to catch the people who just regard parking fines as a cost of motoring and happily continue to park illegally because they can afford to. Something like 5 parking tickets and your car gets towed away, or 10 tickets and it gets crushed would stop the arrogant arseholes!

I hear your frustration op.
All these people saying leave a note, what’s the point? Selfish unreasonable people won’t take any notice whatsoever of a polite note. They will simply screw it up and chuck it on the floor.
I know this because I have spent years being polite and reasonable with people and it’s got me absolutely nowhere.

Egg on the windscreen is a huuuge ball ache. If you try to use your washers to get it off it turns into a huge frothy sticky mess!! It’s terrible to get off. I should know as one of my batshit neighbours did it to me because I had the audacity to leave my car outside his house overnight. The muppet doesn’t even have a car!!!

YANBU

I'm utterly fed up of inconsiderate arrogant arseholes who do what they hell they want and don't give a toss about others.

I'd never have done anything like that say 20 years ago, quite simply because arrogant arseholes were pretty rare. Nowadays, they're everywhere, so I'm definitely on the way to egging cars and will probably do it pretty soon as I'm getting to the end of my tether with it. I already leave notes but people just ignore them. I had to get one of those retractable parking bollards to stop people parking on my drive but now they just park on the road across it instead!

Same when walking on pavements and footpaths, people coming 2 or 3 abreast just carry on and expect me to jump into the road or hedge so they can pass (rambling groups and cyclists are the worst for this), so these days I just stand my ground and force them to go into narrower formation. They look absolutely shocked that I wasn't going to leap out of their way. Arrogant arseholes!

I'm rapidly becoming "that" belligerent old woman, but I just don't care anymore. No one else cares about inconveniencing me, so why should I care about them??

Good to know 😂

oh well, it’s done now. It’s not the worse thing you could have done. It will get blamed on kids anyway!

I think you were stupid to egg the car.

I would have left a note. Or, if I wanted to make my point more strongly, would have written something in lipstick on the drivers side window. It's a pain to get rid of lipstick from glass but no damage as such. They can still move the car/drive if they wind the window down

Massively unreasonable. Car owner may have just not noticed the sign. You assumed they would have just scrunched a note when they very well could have read the note and thought "oh shit I didn't see the sign". If it was just a one off they may have had their reasons and it is a massive inconvenience but you behaved like a child in response. Such an over reaction to an annoying car.

Try dog poo on the door handle next time. Only joking, it was a juvenile act, but when people continue to park how they want without a second thought sometimes frustation gets the better of you.

I do wish there was a system where obstructing vehicles can be towed with the owner charged a fine. Would eliminate the obstruction and provide extra funds for the council. Drivers would then be far more conscious of their inconsiderate parking.

Well that's good to know. Maybe don't waste them next time?
