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.

Such rudeness on a rudeness thread. Or are we being ironic?

Still better than the complete arse who scraped my poor cars nose when they backed into their space.

I am shocked, horrified and amazed at the OP's actions, but mostly I am

inspired []grin
Cream? I'd never have thunk it up myself.
Biscuit for the keyers though. Not on.

adeucalione · 30/08/2012 13:53

Actions have consequences, rude old lady. Good for you OP!

But Flora, you need to discover some empathy. It is well documented that when we ourselves do something daft it is a one-off, or was due to some special circumstance or other, whilst when someone else does something daft they are thoughtless idiots who behave like that all the time and deserve to be punished. Next time, consider whether there might be a reason for the bad parking, or whether the crime of bad parking deserves the punishment of a hefty respray bill.
