Yesterday we caught the ferry home from our Scottish Island holiday (sob). The ferrys aren't that big and there's not much space between cars. If a car door is open you can't get past. Therefore you need to move quickly but you also need to be patient. The loading is done quickly and the ferry guys shout quite a bit whilst trying to direct umpteen clueless tourists to park as effectively as possible. Therefore you don't try and get out of your car and walk across the deck till all the cars near you are parked up.
Yesterday the car in front of us was occupied by Howard and Hilda from Ever Decreasing circles. They got straight out and walked right in front of the cal mac guy directing the car in the lane next door - which caused some fruity language and a shake of the head from him. That was nothing to what she did when getting back in. Having three dcs to load we are always at the front of the queue to get back down. Dcs were in and I was climbing in to my seat when I felt my car door hit my thigh and bottom. Yes Hilda was on the way back to her car and had simply slammed my door shut so she could get passed - even though my body was not fully in the car. I was LIVID. So rude. She then stood for some minutes unzipping Howard's anorak for him
and generally pratting about. AIBU to consider her a rude person? There was loads of time btw. The ferry didn't dock for several minutes and then the other side of cars got off first so it wasn't as if she was under pressure of time.
