I live in a town centre. i parked my car outside my house and got out and left the boot and kerbside door open to load up some things from the house.
I went into my house to grab some bags to put in the car and heard my car door slam shut. I went out to see two cyclists go past, one of whom had shut my car door. Quite frankly I thought it was non of their business to shut my car door. Dam cheek, I thought. If that were me i would have just manouvered my bike carefully past the car and its open door.
There was plenty of room to walk past with a bike. . . .Seriously !
I looked at the woman and muttered "What ??" or something to which she answered, "I didnt want my bike to get scratched"
Blooming cheek! ..ggrrhh.
?? AIBU

It's about the 3rd zombie thread ParisToLondon has reactivated.

What's the point?

@ParisToLondonMamon please don't!

strikhedonia · 20/05/2017 13:22

if it's not acceptable to reactivate zombie thread, why aren't they locked after a certain time? (3 months from the last post or something) It's not that difficult to set up.

Gillian1980 · 20/05/2017 13:23

Yabu.
I wouldn't leave my car door open into the pavement.

If MNHQ are to be believed it's the hardest thing in the world and requires a letter from the Queen and god.

"You CAN cycle on the pavement in various circumstances."

My understanding was that it was illegal over the age of 10 unless the pavement is also a cycle lane.

Because HQ are concerned it might frighten newbies off. And they probably trust that most people won't try to give their unheard of insight six years down the line

Aren't newbies more likely to be frightened off by getting bollocked for resurrecting zombie threads???

If you don't want your car door touched, then don't let it obstruct the pavement.

I'd have slammed it.

YABU. I would have shut your door too if it had been in my way.

Not as bad as this cheeky old cunt woman in the supermarket the other day, who saw fit to grab MY stuff on the conveyor belt; yoghurts, bananas, green beans, apples, eggs, cat food, orange juice etc and shove it all forward so she could get all of HER stuff on the conveyor belt; ramming all the stuff together.

She couldn't wait a minute for mine to glide forwards, so she thought she would pick up and handle MY stuff and shove it further up the belt! Angry

When it was my turn, the checkout operator started scanning my items, and I said ; 'I need to go change these apples, and pears, and eggs, and yoghurts, as this woman behind me just grabbed them, squeezed them, and shoved them up the conveyor belt, so now they are manhandled and slightly damaged and I don't want them' Then I trotted off and kept the bint behind me waiting for 2 minutes.

If you don't believe me Navy, you are welcome to check out Site Stuff where they say it's offputting
