A man told me how I should have reverse parked. I told him to floss and use a stain resistant toothpaste.

I had to use DH truck today - which I rarely drive. I then has a tricky reverse park in a busy town. A man watched the whole thing with his arms cross, chuckling and came over and offered a lot of critique and unsolicited advice.
WIBU to offer him critique and unsolicited advice in return?

Yeah yeah, I know I was rude but fuck me, he was a twat of the highest order.

I may have used the phrase "Is it FREE ADVICE DAY? GREAT?"

That was neither as clever or funny as you think.
He was a Dick, you could have made your point AND been a bit more classy

A guy once told me off for once walking on the wrong side of the (quiet, suburban) street

Speechless

And I didn't tell him to go fuck himself

Such a shame

What does that even mean? Wrong side? What is the right side?

I have a dad and 7 brothers and have spent my life being told off by men, well, that is how I felt today.

Good for you 👍 that’s the sort of thing I think about after the event and the moments passed…

I am thinking about it and feeling mildly ashamed. He was just such a knob but I should have been "Yeah, thanks Grandad"
