The thread title says it all really. There I was sitting in my car and along comes one of those car washing blokes and uses my bonnet to rest on and write what looked like a note. He could have scratched my executive Wink vehicle. He hadn't spotted me sitting there, but I made him aware of my presence.

YANBU

I hope you employed your water erm...squirters to deter the ruffian!

WorraLiberty · 26/03/2012 15:36

Unless he was actually sitting on it, it wouldn't bother at all.

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 15:36

I did my best Hmm look at him.

Did he realise your exec vehicle was occupied?

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 15:44

No he hadn't realised. I had been parked for a couple of minutes and was replying to a text before going into shop.

I would have beeped at him and enjoyed him jumping out of his skin! Grin

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 15:53

Should I complain to Sainsbury's store management then? Wink

What did he do when he noticed you?

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 16:01

Hecate - he looked a little embarrassed, muttered an apology and went off and leaned on the rails by a trolley park instead.

YANBU, he could have damaged your car and should know better. I would have beeped him!

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 18:08

Well I won't be getting my car washed next time I go there not that I ever do anyway

I once had a gynae stop in the middle of a pelvic scan she was giving me to sign a prescription for a previous patient. She signed the paper on my tummy...

Now I'm wondering what I could have done apart from lie there in shock :o

Safire · 26/03/2012 18:31

Not meaning to hijack your thread or anything, Mardy

MardyBra · 26/03/2012 19:34

Shock now that is very cheeky Safire.

I once had a root canal with a dentist who kept using my chest as a place to put his instruments down. on top of the dental bib thing I was wearing. I would have had a go at him but I was fairly traumatised about the whole thing and didn't want him to drill into me too badly.

At least that means your stomach was flat and not too wobbly btw.

I think people just get caught up in the moment and forget it's a person they're dealing with, all they see is a flat surface that's come in handy!

Sainsburys is like an assualt course in Tamworth, dodge the car wash people, the charity muggers (I have DD's for my charities and I only give to animal charities anyway) and the electric salesman who usually lurks around the tea/biscuit aisles.

Fuckers.

I even bought a years supply of tea in January so I wouldnt have to go in too often.
