So embarrassed. Got confronted today.

[MiniMoosey]

Pulled up to park in multi storey, and when I got out of my car this lady comes at me very aggressively! No idea what was happening. Managed to get out of her that I was following her and hand signalling and shouting at her and being very aggressive and that her daughter was a nervous new driver and I was a horrible bitch.

I was actually just singing along to my music, very enthusiastically. I can now see that in a rear view mirror that might look as if I’m shouting and gesturing at the car in front. Lesson learnt!! She was laughing when I explained.

Be wary fellow mumsnetters in case this happens to you!

I went from shocked to laughing when I read you were actually just singing along to my music, very enthusiastically. I can now see that in a rear view mirror that might look as if I’m shouting and gesturing at the car in front. 😂😂😂

Some people are just paranoid. It's not always about them.

Me and two friends were stuck in traffic once on a boiling hot day, windows down
Prince Kiss comes on and well you can't not sing. The guy next to us was virtually crying laughing and started joining in, it still makes me laugh how many people joined in

😂😂😂

I got breathalysed at 7am NYD, driving out of work (ambulance station)
Me "are you serious? I wish I could have had a drink"

A couple of years ago at lunchtime on a work day I walked past a car at some lights where a man and woman were loudly singing along to 'Take on Me' in what was clearly a Vic 'n' Bob 'Club Style' - it was hilarious 😝

Oohhhh dear thanks for this! I might have got a bit carried away earlier to Beyonce "to the left to the left, everything you own in a box to the left" and yes I was pointing left, trying badly to sing thinking I was ten years younger...

My dad did curse someones driving, in a car park, the other chap could lip read and walked over knocked on the window and politely explained he could understand what he just said and to keep his thoughts to himself next time. He learnt his lesson and my mum never lets him live it down

Now I’ve got the “7 little girls” song on repeat in my head! Haven’t heard that for years 😁

I was a teenager sat in the passenger seat with my mum driving. Dancing and singing along to Nsync, not realising that there were teenagers in the bus in front of us watching me and laughing.

Thank god I didn't know them 🙈🙈

This is brilliant!! 🤣 I was one taking a load of selfies in front of an upstairs window, I’d had a make up trial for my wedding and I was documenting it. A very angry man came knocking at the door demanding to know why I was photographing him! I explained and he didn’t believe me until I showed him the photos! He ended up congratulating me but I was so embarrassed!

*once

Once I was in the car with young DC, listening to the Fingers song (Peter Pointer, Toby Tall etc).and doing the actions. Lorry driver behind me started gesticulating and flashing at me and I couldn't work out why. It was much later in the day when it suddenly occured to me that the 'Baby Small' gesture must have looked like a random insult to his manhood 😬

My sister and I got a bit caught up singing ‘Chim Chim Cheree’ (from Mary Poppins ) at the traffic lights once with all the windows down, only to glance to our left and see a guy on a pushbike absolutely pissing himself laughing.

“And this is what the seven girls said: Altogether now 1, 2, 3.”

Fabulous to see the good humour here. 😁

Whatever you do, don’t go to the “To say this sign does NOT mean move over…” thread. They’ve been at daggers drawn for quite a few pages now. Terrifying!

I was driving through traffic lights today, it’s a cross roads but the road ahead is at a slight angle to the right. A woman was about to cross the road but stop and gestured to me that I should have indicated right. But if I’d indicated she would have assumed I was turning right onto the actual road going right and would have continued to cross the road and the cars behind would have been under the impression I was actually turning right onto the road to the right.
I then pulled into the car park she was heading to fully expecting a confrontation. Fortunately she had realised her error and scuttled out of the way.

Oh dear, I’ve just realised what I must look like in the car singing along to the Hamilton soundtrack! 😳

She was out of order, but it is good that she apologised and just misunderstood what you were doing.

Some drivers can be awful to learners/new drivers. Maybe her daughter has had a bad experience or two already and they are both a bit sensitive about it at the minute.

I drive for a living and we have a smart drive system theat records inside the cab as well as outside. I was involved in a minor incident and we had to look at the footage. OMG, I can't sing and I had to listen to myself sing and "dance" in front of 3 managers 😫

’Keep your mind on your driving, keep your hands on the wheel. Keep your beady eyes on the road ahead. We’re having fun, sittin in the back seat, huggin and a kissin with Fred.’ Shit, I’m old !!

“I was only listening to a bit of RATM”

I'm always getting wrong off my dad for doing this. He thinks people will think I'm gesturing to them. I will be more careful 🤣🤣

I had similar when I let a motorbike through while I was talking to the radio (Jeremy Vine show). He stopped (motorbike man not JV!) and knocked on my window. He had a go at me but I couldn't really hear what he was saying through his helmet (but could tell by his tone that he was angry) and then he promptly drove off before I could reply.

Think that woman was very silly though. If OP had been acting aggressively, what did she expect to happen? This situation would probably escalate. Better to walk/drive away annoyed than get into something you might wish you hadn't IMO.

Now wondering about OP's dance moves though... :/
