I blocked someone in school run

I blocked a car in on the makeshift car park which I fully realise makes me the ass. First time I've ever done it.

When I'd got out and got the kids out and bags on, the man showed up. I had thought I wouldn't impact anyone as it's about 60 seconds total for me to run the kids to the gate and back. He had a toddler with him and started complaining, quite rightly, so I apologised and said I'm sorry, can I run these to the gate, I'll be about 60 seconds, while he gets his toddler in the car seat. He said yes OK but pulled a face.

When I got back he'd just finished getting the toddler in and I thanked him/apologised again before driving away but he just gave the world's dirtiest look. I realise I was in the wrong and being cheeky. But now feel very awkward especially as I'm a dinner lady to his son, I'm not sure he knows though.

Should I apologise again when I see him next or just leave it? Next time I will just find somewhere else to park, feel awful.

You were polite, admitted you were in the wrong, and it doesn’t sound like it was a massive inconvenience on the whole. I’d leave it at that.

You apologised and knew you were being cheeky. I wouldn't give it any more thought ❤️
