To have smashed an egg on his windscreen

360 replies

lollipoppi · 11/03/2014 19:48

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!

loo you are right actually.

southeastastra · 12/03/2014 17:39

overuse of the word entitled on mn yet again Grin

LoonvanBoon · 12/03/2014 17:40

That post doesn't call you any names, blah - it merely expresses the writer's view that you are getting very worked up & it may not have happy consequences for you.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 12/03/2014 17:41

I'm off out of this now.
Bye.

Jengnr · 12/03/2014 17:55

Judging by the reactions on here I think it will have had the desired effect!

Nice one OP

AlpacaPicnic · 12/03/2014 17:59

I cannot get over that the van driver would rather struggle to get himself out of a van, and cause an inconvenience to someone else, rather than make his own life a bit easier by reparking his van a bit more central... Did he not want his mates to mock him by admitting he'd parked 'wrongly'

Op - you were naughty. You know that. But you inconvenienced him as much as he did to you... So I wouldn't be weeping into my pillow over him. Its not liked you keyed his van, let down his tyres or smashed his van repeatedly like that scene in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Well it's going to be pretty obvious who it was.I hope this doesn't come back to bite you on the bottom.Will you be so smug if you get done for criminal damage?

ZingSweetMango · 12/03/2014 18:20

ah, anti-penis brigade, that's just lovelyConfused

nope, definitely no antipenisness here.

Bowlersarm · 12/03/2014 18:23

Oh my word OP, what a furore you have caused on MN. Grin Great isn't it?

Still think you were being perfectly reasonable.

Hope it teaches the dick of a van driver lesson.

Doubt it will though. If he was that twattish then, he probably always has been, always will be.

At least it has caused him a huge convenience.

AgaPanthers · 12/03/2014 18:26

What's an anti-penis? Is it like an antirrhinum?

Nicknacky · 12/03/2014 18:30

I always picture these threads in reverse, with the op in place of the van driver. There would be an uproar with people telling the op that nothing she said could deserve that and he should have sucked up the bad language.

Did no ones mother teach them "sticks and stones"??

ifyourehoppyandyouknowit · 12/03/2014 18:30

Hold on a minute. I am not anti-penis. I'm quite fond of penis actually.

I'm anti-behaving like a rude, arrogant cockwomble.

ZingSweetMango · 12/03/2014 18:32

I'm renaming him Dick Van Drive

NigellasDealer · 12/03/2014 18:35

is anti-penis like anti-matter?

BornOfFrustration · 12/03/2014 19:05

Fucking 'ell blah, bit ranty there.

Monetbyhimself · 12/03/2014 19:08

'Whispers loudly for all the Jezza Kyle brigade : SHE WAS ABLE TO GET THE KIDS IN THE CAR SAFELY AND EASILY ROUND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR'

I do realise that the chavs supporters of the OP wouldn't let that fact get in the way of a good old street slamging scene but thought it worth pointing out for anyone late to the thread Grin

lollipoppi · 12/03/2014 19:31

I have said on 3 occasions i didn't have a problem getting the kids in the car, that was not why he got splatted!!!!

gofeminism · 12/03/2014 19:35

Well you started an argument, started the insults, started the swearing, and committed the only criminal damage in an act of vandalism, but the victim was a man, so well done you!

gertiegusset · 12/03/2014 19:36

Erm, if you didn't have a problem getting the kids in the car then why did you say anything to him at all?

No need to be rude Monet.

chav now innit?Grin

ZingSweetMango · 12/03/2014 19:42

I thought only Brits can be chavs, not bloody forriners.

I'm honored?Wink

slithytove · 12/03/2014 19:42

I'm going to do this next time I see a wanky driver

Like the old bitch I saw park in the last p&c space at tesco, who then wandered off into town. She definitely deserved an egg.

Monetbyhimself · 12/03/2014 19:44
