To have smashed an egg on his windscreen

360 replies

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!

Don't they have parent and child parking spaces at the supermarket??

SaucyJack · 11/03/2014 20:48

asked him to help

She didn't need him to help. Just for him to not have parked like an inconsiderate cunt in the first place.

TeaAndALemonTart · 11/03/2014 20:50

Better than keying his car which is what I've seen happen before. It was an egg nothing more.

SirChenjin · 11/03/2014 20:50

Exactly - because the kind of person who parks too close to other cars, or in P&C spaces, or in disabled spaces, or across 2 spaces, or on double yellow lines outside schools etc etc etc is exactly the sort of person who, when asked politely to move, says "why, you're absolutely right - I am inconveniencing other drivers. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I shall move my vehicle forthwith". Hmm

Pimpf · 11/03/2014 20:54

He deserved it. He behaved like an arse and she told him. Tough shit.

Maybe he'll think twice next time, though I doubt it

sarahquilt · 11/03/2014 20:57

it depends. If he had no choice but to park close to you because someone else on the other side was badly parked then it wasn't his fault. I think that's pretty ignorant behaviour to be honest. It's vandalism.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/03/2014 21:02

So Toad someone deliberately parks too close to your car (I'm assuming here we're not talking about P&C spaces? Must be normal sized or he shouldn't be in them ).

And you'd get a complete stranger (well 2 stranger blokes in a van) to "mind the kids" - your 3 yo and 1 yo while you reversed out?

Like Hell you would. Like Hell.

ChrisMooseAlbanians · 11/03/2014 21:02

YWBU. But I found this very funny Grin

SwingYourPantsNow · 11/03/2014 21:05

YOU started with the name calling though. Not him. So yes, he was ridiculously rude, but then so were you!

VanitasVanitatum · 11/03/2014 21:08

monet laughing at someone struggling is much worse behaviour than the op's, and frankly a horrible thing to say that you would do.

He will wipe it off and go on his way, hopefully he might think twice about being so selfish again, but probably not!

He sounds like he was not a nice person at all.

Freewheelin · 11/03/2014 21:09

He sounds an arse.
YANBU

IamInvisible · 11/03/2014 21:11

He didn't deserve it! Hmm No-one deserves to get their vehicle vandalised!

As he had a van, the chances are that he was parked centrally, between the lines because the spaces aren't really made for vans. Saying that, he had every right to park there.

When I park, if not in a blue badge space, I don't look in the adjacent car to see if there is a car seat. If there is one in the car, it doesn't mean it is necessarily being used.

The OP got snippy and the bloke answered back.

SirChenjin · 11/03/2014 21:13

He did a bloody sight more than answer back. And now he has to scrape eggs off his windscreen...oh dear never mind.

gertiegusset · 11/03/2014 21:15

Criminal damage innit.
Fingers crossed they don't have CCTV.

ConfusedDotty · 11/03/2014 21:16

Ha ha, hilarious, especially the bit where you 'bombed' it off. I would have have been crap scared if he came back whilst reversing out of the parking space but, would have been pissing myself laughing at the same time.

Well done you.

Cigarettesandsmirnoff · 11/03/2014 21:17

He sounds like he was not a nice person at all

Neither did the op

SecretRed · 11/03/2014 21:17

Ywnbu, he called you a bitch so was fair game imo.

waltermittymissus · 11/03/2014 21:18

I suppose that technically, yes YABU.

But I'm giving you a virtual high five because he sounds like a cunt and he deserved it! Grin

I hope you don't get in trouble for it though...

honeybunny14 · 11/03/2014 21:18

You started it then you egg his car what age are you? And if it was the other way around the man smashing an egg on your car it would be a different story.You sound abit weird tbh.

MardyPants · 11/03/2014 21:19

I expect, OP, that if he'd not parked his van so close to your car, you would have been able to get your shopping bags in without accidentally spilling your eggs on his windscreen. So he actually owes you some more eggs. Grin

Probably best you don't go back and ask him for them though.

LeonardoAcropolis · 11/03/2014 21:23

Does anyone remember the simiar thread where the OP wrote "RUDE"on a woman's windscreen with double cream?

Grin
CuttedUpPear · 11/03/2014 21:30

Ah, well done OP.

CuntyBunty · 11/03/2014 21:30

Yes, I do Leonardo. She got the same mix of responses, didn't she?

Sparklingbrook · 11/03/2014 21:31

No I don't tremember that Leonardo. I must have the 'Chucking groceries at car windscreens' topic hidden. Grin

Toadinthehole · 11/03/2014 21:33

Of course I would ask a stranger to mind my kids for one minute while I backed my car out.

I'd be right there, for Pete's sake. Nothing to get paranoid about.

It's my experience that people tend to help in situations like these.
