To have smashed an egg on his windscreen

[lollipoppi]

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!

Eh? Why? He parked a bit badly and you declared war on him? Justification? You have a 3 yr old?

[Confused]

Crabby I had this asked when (on 3 occasions ) someone parked right up to my boot.

I like to have my car nose pointing out (so like reversing in but sometimes I can drive straight through from one space to the next) I'm always well away from C&P and Blue Badge.
I drive a mid sized car.
But I attract the c**ts who take their space + a good chunk of mine, and leave me no space to open my boot.
I'm in a supermarket car park. Chances are I'll need my boot.
But loads of people posted "Why not have your boot sticking out"

Because I'd need to reverse out, which is a pain.

You are in breach of rule 8 of the Man Manual- never criticise a man's driving/parking in front of another man! :-)

fuck him

I don't think smashing an egg on his windscreen will make him think twice about his behaviour. I do think that's a terrible example to set your children in response to a difficult situation. I think you could think about how you approached the situation in the first place- could you have used a different tone of voice, is there a better way for you to come across to people to get what you want. I appreciate he was rude and unkind but I'm just asking what could you have done differently to get the desired response.

Bravo!

Brilliant that will have wiped the smile off his wank badgery face. Even better that he had a mate with him to dent his male ego even more

Hopefully his mate took the piss out of him and spreads it round at work

deakymum brilliant!!

Classy

OP was first of all polite to him. Only after his 'not my problem' did she call him an 'inconsiderate arse' - an epithet at least one step down from 'fucking bitch'.

The only thing that would have stopped me unloading the whole box of eggs and writing 'you shouldn't have called me a fucking birch' all round his van with a black marker would have been CCTV.

@ fucking birch

good one!

Well I bet that wiped the smirk off his face when he got back to his van. Git!

Good for you OP. You should have mixed in some olive oil and flour too.

I don't agree. On the one hand he is an arrogant arse but having children is a choice not a disease.
Let's hope he doesn't remember your car. Bit pathetic really and it's "ok because you are a mummy" even though actually assaulting someone else's property in front of your children would be frowned upon if you were common, not a mner and smoked

He laughed at you as you struggled to get everyone in the car. YASNBU. Fucking lucky you hadn't bought any treacle.

People who can't reverse park into spaces should have their licenses removed with immediate effect.

You were very reserved OP!

Hop

times like that, when it happens to me, I'm really glad I don't own a gun.
I'm not kidding.

I was in a shooting club for years and with many policeman amongst family members and friends including my dad, uncle, aunt I know a fair amount about them and definitely know how to use one.

an egg on a windscreen is nothing compared to non-existing kneecaps.
just saying

So long as you aren't surprised if next time you park there your car is keyed and the tyres let down.

'Struggling needlessly'

Oh do give over. A grown man was able to get out of his van. Is your 3 year old morbidly obese OP ?
Given that you were unable to get him into the car using the same space.
Heaven help any if you who 'struggle' with real mobility and access problems.
The sense of entitlement that parents of young kids have nowadays never ceases to amaze and depress me. And the OTT reaction of the OP in front of her kids is really sad. Some of you seriously need to break open the rescue remedy and practice your deep breathing.

Such a shame he didn't catch you in the act so he could have used your face to wipe the egg off his van. That's what you deserved!

It's a fucking EGG! Two grown men who are too throughless and lazy to move their vehicle so that another person can get into their car and the laughed because she was struggling. And she deserves to have her face used to clean up the egg? She deserves to have the police called? Job lot of grips are needed on this thread.

What a vile, aggressive comment, Bartman. Whatever your views about the OP's (minor) act of vandalism, it's hardly equivalent to a man physically assaulting someone in front of their children.

Oh no. Has the thread got to the 'grips being handed out' stage.

Childish and peevish, but proportionate to the childish peevishness from the van driver. Yes you could have maintained your dignity and the moral high ground, and you probably should have. But god, I would have cheered you on (in my head) if I had seen that going down.

Anyway, it's not as bad as one poster on another forum who said she threw a Gregg's sausage, bean & cheese melt at a car windscreen after she recognised the driver as a former teacher she didn't like.

Enough of the food throwing.

Sorry, anyone caught vandalising my property will be getting a good kicking. If you don't want a kicking then you should think about that before fucking about with someone else's property!
