WIBu retaliating re the rude woman in the carpark

Yesterday morning I went to the supermarket. I was in a hurry as I had to finish a pavlova to take to a friends party. The supermarket was packed and traffic was standing waiting for spaces (one in one out). I was politely queueing when a driver got into her car just ahead of me obviously about to vacate a space. I waited behind the space indicating left that I was waiting . I gave her enough room and time to manoevre out. As she was doing this I saw an old woman in a bettered car behind me trying to squeeze down the inside to pass me and making it difficult for the other driver. I hooted as she almost scraped my car. To my disbelief she then swung into the space I had patiently waited for. I wound down my window to state the obvious that she was taking my space. She replied "so what" . I said you can't do that, we are all waiting". She relied I can do what I like. Two other drivers who had witnessed this also got out of cars to back me up. I was livid. In the end the parking warden came to sort it out. He pointed out another space ahead now empty and asked me to park in it. I did . I returned to speak to the other woman (aged about 80, dark glasses and very snotty). She continued to be rude when I repeated that her behaviour was unacceptable, and rude. After finishing my shopping 10 minutes later I was still very shaken up and angry. I tool a carton of cream from my bag and dribbled the word RUDE on her windscreen before driving off.

one more thing: topknob, any luck getting your kitty back? can only imagine the poor sod had enough of you! think I would leave too! defiantly off now, think I will hide this thread!

Noqontrol · 26/08/2012 23:49

Defiantly off? You poor thing, that lack of a brain. Well, it must be hard for you.

News just in:

Lion did not finish Troll. Eyewitness, weaving lentil sock puppet said initial wounds were "cosmetic". Enraged lion went back to properly finish job.

The End

DappyHays · 26/08/2012 23:52

Oh for fuck's sake, really?

The old dear got your space, big deal. You snooze, you lose. It is only parking.

If it helps, the woman will probably be dead before you.

OP - you were childish and ridiculous. You know you were.

I bet the woman spent ages trying to clean that off.
Then there would be the puddles of fatty liquid left on the ground afterwards. For someone to slip on.
Because supermarkets don't generally care much about washing down the car park surfaces.

But that would be funny too right? Like how hilarious would that be if someone slipped on a greasy puddle?

Noqontrol · 26/08/2012 23:57

Oh come on sal, how likely is it that someone is going to slip in some residue of a bit of cream and water. Its not a full blown oil spill.

CrispyCod · 26/08/2012 23:58

Now look what you've done OP. Don't you realise that cream on the ground encourages big cats. YOU are to blame for the lion on the loose!

Noqontrol · 26/08/2012 23:58

Good ending enjoy Grin

Noqontrol · 26/08/2012 23:59

God damn cream crispy, encouraging all the big cats to feast.

EnjoyResponsibly · 27/08/2012 00:00

I have missed my calling Noq Grin

directoroflegacy · 27/08/2012 00:01

Anybody else tempted to go out tomorrow and put cream on their windscreen to see how easy/difficult it is to get off (I really do have too much time on my hands!!)
My DC will think I've gone mad!

Salmotrutta · 27/08/2012 00:03

Well, given that my DH went full length on one grape left on the shop floor, I can easily imagine a bit of greasy/oily residue causing someone's foot to go out from under them in the car park.

Yeah, yeah I know the grape was inside but still - oily/fatty residue isn't great on walking surfaces.

And anyway, I still think the OP was a big silly tantruming fool.

OutragedAtThePriceOfFreddos · 27/08/2012 00:05

Nice work OP.

Next time I'd suggest using squirty cream instead of double cream though. It's bound to look better.

To placate those worried about the fat making the windows smeary, and who don't realise you can buy cleaner and cloths in supermarkets, you could try the light version.

CrispyCod · 27/08/2012 00:06

director. Are you going to go for single or double....maybe pouring? Don't use the good stuff.

Noqontrol · 27/08/2012 00:07

Its never too late enjoy. don't ever forget that Grin

Kladdkaka · 27/08/2012 00:08

I went arse over tit in Asda once and landed in a crate of tomatoes. I should have kicked off and sued the buggers for the slippery floor but I was so embarrassed, I just limped off soaked in tomato juice.

Pendeen · 27/08/2012 00:33

OP welldone.

The arrogant entitled selfish old bitch got what she deserved.

justwantcheese · 27/08/2012 08:53

Anger management course? Are you serious? It was only cream and why does it make a difference what age you are? Should she make allowances because she's 80?

pictish · 27/08/2012 09:02

I too am inwardly sniggering at the 'cream is dangerous and it's vandalism' brigade! Grin

While I think RUDE was a great choice of word, as it says it all, I also think a giant cock would've worked.

ivykaty44 · 27/08/2012 09:07

I doubt the windscreen was big enough to write giant cock Wink

JustFabulous · 27/08/2012 09:16

" I LOVE my car and could easily afford a new car if I wanted ( my DP is VERY well paid)."

floranora - seems it is your DP who can "easily afford" a new car.

DizzyKipper · 27/08/2012 09:17

Not the best comeback really.

DizzyKipper · 27/08/2012 09:20

pictish is clearly better at this sort of thing Wink

pictish · 27/08/2012 09:28

Olympicsrocks don't apologise ffs. What you did wasn't harmful despite what the lemon faces are saying, what you did had style.
They are all deep down just thoroughly jealous of your rebellion, and because they wouldn't have the courage or originality to execute such a manouver themselves, they want to pick holes in those who do.
Maybe there are one or two who even think that pensioners can do whatever the fuck they like - I don't know why, but there you go. I disagree.

She got her just desserts for sure. Wink
