Was nipping in M&S foodhall this evening and outside the shop there was a woman asleep in her car. I noticed her because she wasn't sat up, with her eyes closed, like when you just rest your eyes. She was slumped to the side. Not even with her head against the window but way down on the plastic part of the door. I showed DH and he sort of laughed and said she must be knackered.
Went in M&S, grabbed a few bits and waited for my C&C order, so we were in there a good 20 mins.
Came out and woman is still in exactly the same position so I go closer and see there are 2 kids in the back seat, both in carseats
One about 4 and the other about 2.
DH has walked ahead and is already out of reasonable shouting distance. I just knocked on her window and she jumped awake
I must have scared the shit out of her.
I felt pretty stupid and apologised to her and have felt quite embarrassed thinking about it since. She really looked passed out and inve I saw the kids all sorts went through my head.
