To have smashed an egg on his windscreen

Ok, so I know IABU and it was a spur of the moment childish thing to do but ........

Upon leaving the supermarket with a 1yo and 3yo in tow, I get to my car to find a man struggling to get out of his van because he has parked so close to my car.

I politely pointed out that if he is struggling then how am I expected to get my 3yo into his car seat when I cannot open my door.
His response was "it's not my problem"
Me : well it's now my problem because your an incompetent arse
Him: fuck off you stuck up btch, and walked off with his mate laughing

Whilst my 3yo was climbing over my 1yo to get to his car seat, I unloaded the shopping and came across the eggs.

I splatted one on his windscreen and bombed it

Very immature of me I know, but I think he deserved it!

Oh well maybe he'll think twice about being an arse next time.

YANBU.

What a gabshite he was. I admire your quick thinking!

DomesticDisgrace · 11/03/2014 19:52

Haha I don't know what to make of that at all. I'm usually quite "passionate" myself but it sounds as if you were a bit agro from the get go

DameFanny · 11/03/2014 19:53

Heh heh heh Grin I don't care if you were BU or not

TwittyMcTwitterson · 11/03/2014 19:53

Hilariously childish. If he wasn't an arse then YABU but he was and I bet it made you feel better Grin

A tad extreme yes but there are times I wish I had the balls to so that

Longdistance · 11/03/2014 19:55

Yanbu, he sounded like he deserved it.

Mrsantithetic · 11/03/2014 19:56

Ha shame you didn't have any shaving foam or shower gel to write obscenities on his bonnet Grin

Wishfulmakeupping · 11/03/2014 19:57

Bet it felt good to do that :) it was totally deserved the knob

Pippintea · 11/03/2014 19:57

I was going to say YABVU from the title! Smashing eggs in revenge is very immature Grin
However, the man was an absolute twat &YWBVU not to smash 12 eggs over his stupid windscreen.

LinghamStyle · 11/03/2014 19:57

Well probably YABU but I would have done the same thing Grin

harriet247 · 11/03/2014 20:00

Yabu really. Justin bieber got arrested for that recently! I dont know i think its always bwtter to get your own way dripping in charm, as not a fabulous example for your 3 yo. Otoh, pretty funny!

CuntyBunty · 11/03/2014 20:00

YWNBU so long as it made you feel better. What a helmet. The van dirvier, not you.

Monetbyhimself · 11/03/2014 20:01

In front if your kids ? Classy.

pussycatdoll · 11/03/2014 20:02

Finally a justification for p&c spaces Grin

Pimpf · 11/03/2014 20:02

Well it's not your fault you accidentally dropped one of your eggs on his windshield [whistles innocently]

PonceyPeas · 11/03/2014 20:02

Brilliant, love it. Might carry eggs in the car from now on just in case the same happens to me Grin

Mouthfulofquiz · 11/03/2014 20:03

YANBU.
The kids are hardly going to be damaged for life... And the twat deserved it!

jammygem · 11/03/2014 20:03

The sensible adult in me wants to say that YABVU, but the childish fiend in me finds it hilarious and wishes I had the guts to do stuff like that...

Grin
WooWooOwl · 11/03/2014 20:03

So you started the name calling, and and because he does it back to you you think vandalising his car is not only justified, but funny as well?

What a lovely example you set to your children.

Bartman · 11/03/2014 20:04

I hope he called the police!

hiddenhome · 11/03/2014 20:05

I understand that some people write on others' cars with HP brown sauce. It's the naice way of doing things to bad parkers apparently Smile

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/03/2014 20:09

I'm undecided here.
On one hand , he needed to be punished.
On the other hand, I had an egg thrown at my car from a bus passenger and it was a nightmare to clean off.

He'll know it was you though Smile

(I had a Angry exchange with a woman who parked right next to me (I had loaded up the shopping and the DC, she took a good few minutes to park, even though there were other spaces)
I shouted "Eh- watch my door" as she flung her opposite passenger door open , knocking my door.
She looked, that scraping shit off your shoe look.

"Good job I'm slim then" I yelled after her (I'm not particularly, but I didn't shout "Good job I'm not a fecking lardy arsed fat heifer like you then" which was my unspoken words on my bitten tongue.

Cigarettesandsmirnoff · 11/03/2014 20:11

Tbh I'm not surprised you got that response . You came at that scenario with an attitude and got one back.

Then you started the name calling.

The you vandalised his car.

Great role model and very lucky he didn't see you and come back and take the situation to a whole new level with your kids there,as I guess from his responses to you he wasn't a 'gent'
