What should I do next? (Neighbour related!)

[tiredbutstillsmiling]

Earlier today a car company dropped off a brand new car for my husband to test drive over w'end. They parked it outside house on road. We live on a small cul-de-sac and the road is tight so we all park up on the pavements. When I explained that to drop-off guy he said he couldn't so that as it may damage car. Fair enough. Cars could still get past, even a large van drove past ...

... that was until my neighbour opposite came back from work and parked in his usual spot which meant the test drive car now blocked the road. I didn't know this until I heard a constant blaring of a horn. I looked out of window to find another neighbour banging on his horn and his mother pacing the road.

I went outside to explain I couldn't move the car as not insured, but he kept banging the horn and gesticulating aggressively. I'm embarrassed to say I burst into tears. I'm nearly 37 weeks pg and am having a stressful pregnancy (actually posted Weds about small growth!). The woman kept saying "what are you getting upset for? He only wants to get past You should've made sure cars could get past". I kept trying to explain I couldn't move the car and it hadn't been an issue until other neighbour had parked opposite, but he just kept banging the horn. Eventually neighbour opposite came out and moved his car, they drove off to leave me sitting in my hall shaking with a 3 yo asking why mummy was crying.

This all happened around 5pm. We've just had horn-blaring neighbour come round with flowers - my husband answered the door as I'm in bed trying to relax.

What do I do next? Do I just accept flowers and not say anything (our paths don't really cross) but then I'll feel like an ungrateful so and so? Or do I go around and say thank you - but then I've for to face the people who made me cry like a baby and I already feel mortified at that.

Thanks for baring with me! This probably seems a very long winded story over nothing. I think the pregnancy hormones are working overtime.

Oh my god! of course you feel embarrassed, You sound ridiculously hard work. I am surprised they sent flowers, maybe you are known for being a bit pathetic?

Are you this needlessly unpleasant to everyone all the time, or just a keyboard warrior?
What is the point of this nasty comment?

Barbra - that's not nice. Have a teeny bit of empathy.

They will be, and deserve to be, more embarrassed than you.

You have nothing to be embarrassed about.

Was there any chance you could have moved the car or got someone to move it for you. Send a little card saying thank you for the flowers.

[piratecat]

did your dh move it in the end?
say thanks for the flowers next time you see them. can't see the point in writing a note or card tbh.
