Supermarket carpark rage

Stop overthinking it. It’s detail and nothing more - just like being told OP went to Waitrose to buy Belgian biscuits. Not necessary but adds interest and detail.

Oh those bookend were weird.

I’m getting a sneaking suspicion that you are the same lady who was bought those creepy Bookends??? The blonde, the curse. It’s all a feeling the same 🤔

So you did see her??

A woman put a curse on me once because I complained about the service in her shop. I am yet waiting for the terrible thing to happen. Maybe she's just diverted the large lottery win that was coming my way??

Chance of a kicking in Waitrose car park 2/10. Chance of a kicking in Lidl car park 9/10. Best off shopping at Waitrose although it does sound like some unsavoury characters were there today 🤔

This thread is bonkers! Entertaining though.

I can't believe so many responders saying they agree with the blonde 60 something effing and jeffing and threatening violence! The woman sounds deranged and too angry to be behind the wheel of car. Even if OP had blatantly stolen the space she was waiting for there were, apparently, plenty of other spaces and her response was unhinged. The blonde would have been in her right to point out that OP had pinched her space and maybe she should be more aware of her surroundings and others in the car park, and the OP should have apologised.

Sort of coppery brunette/auburn if you like, early 40's.

Because you are older and have more insurance ! (Thelma and Louise).

People who shop at Waitrose are well-known for their anti-social behavior and threats of violence, especially in the cheese aisle. You never get that kind of thuggish behavior at Lidl, Aldi, or the one true beacon of polite manners and neighborliness (I am, of course, referring to Wetherspoons).

I always find the nicest customers in Iceland, they will often ask if I want them to nick something for me too.

I was wondering this

😂😂😂 as a blonde in her 60’s I had to double check I hadn’t been to Waitrose today 🙈

No she didn’t.

Odd comment. People who shop at Waitrose are well-known for their anti-social behavior and threats of violence, especially in the cheese aisle.

Note: The only physical fight I’ve ever seen between two women was actually at the cheese counter of an upscale grocer in Switzerland, so it was right to walk away after she threatened to punch you, @Cotswoldmum70 . You never know when out-of-stock cheddar is going to push someone over the edge.

Hello fellow Northerner.

My Tesco is delightful, only the most polite and well behaved people shop there. Now the local Morrisons, completely different story, stabbed and everyone would just stand over you on their way in.

She sounds drunk

So if you didn't see her, how do you know she didn't have her hazard's or indicator on to get into the space and was just being courteous to you not believing for one moment that you would go into that space?!! That being said, I wouldn't have spoken to someone the way she did because of that, I would be annoyed, yes, but just might have discreetly taken something out of your trolley when you weren't looking and had a game of supermarket gaslighting 😎far more effective form of revenge served cold!!

Why do you think she was so angry? She was clearly waiting for that space. If you had checked around you more thoroughly before driving in, you would have noticed this.

She could be unwell, a mean bitch or just thick. Reacting in such a deranged manner doesn’t suggest she was in the right, well not to me at least!

YABU.

Why do you think she was so angry? She was clearly waiting for that space. If you had checked around you more thoroughly before driving in, you would have noticed this.

The right thing to do would be to pull back out, gesticulate your apology, exchange tinkly laughs and raised eyebrows. The exchange would have turned into a nice one, rather than something you're both ashamed of.

I understand exactly what happened - I like to either reverse in (or drive through) to be able to drive out forward and this happens to me quite a bit as I’m obviously taking longer to park. As long as no-one has driven into anyone else there is no drama! She’s a bit bonkers.

This!! Please don't give this anymore thought - I know some of us find that difficult but she's not worth it.

*60 something blonde
her age and hair colour are relevant because….?
Just adding context. I’m also 60 plus and blonde so no shade being thrown.
What context though? It doesn't matter what colour her hair us or that she is about 60.

OP didn’t say she was Only buying half price biscuits. She was probably stocking up on other luxuries, and house hold essentials too.

She mentions at least twice she has gone to get cut price biscuits. As Op has gone into loads of detail about age, the biscuits being Belgian, conveniently placed parking spaces, hair colour and age, Im pretty sure we would have had details off all the items she needed! 😆 🤣 😂

The 60 something blonde should have paid more attention and realised the car park was half empty. Tunnel vision when driving is not a skill…
60 year old blonde was in a rush to buy reduced price Belgian biscuits as well!!

that's not true.

Plenty of people are idiots, or faffers or both. If they are clearly waiting with indicators on ready to reverse, fair enough.

If they just wait there, or are further, too bad.

Use indicators for a start.

I do the same.
