He thinks I was!
He is a local "celeb" and likes to get his picture in the paper for charity work and an ex professional footballer. There is a single yellow line with parking restrictions near the school crossing and he always parks his car there half on / half off the road, obstructing the pavement, road and the view of the crossing, he seems to think the rules don't apply to him.
Yesterday he was there early,sitting in his car.I've been wanting to challenging him on parking there for months but haven't had an opportunity, I couldn't stop myself - I knocked on his window and very calmly and politely said I lived just down the road and had noticed that he always parks there obstructing the crossing and did he think that was a safe thing to do? He went nuts - how dare I even approach him, he would continue to park where he wants when he wants and it was none of my business! I thanked him for showing me the kind of man he was and left.
On the way out of school I was intending to ignore him but he didn't want to leave it drop, as soon as he saw me he got out of his car and started shouting at me in front of everyone - he was standing in the road with his car door open blocking the traffic - he really lost it.
He didn't park there this morning though - his wife did the school run and parked legally for once.
No prizes for guessing what the main topic of conversation was in the yard this morning!
