Hello today I went out with DDS and some friends. I parked my car and was about to go in to eat when some idiot tried to park next to me. I asked her politely to unroll her window and move as she was tailgating and too close to my car far my liking. She moved but was huffing and puffing and sighing and complained before finally giving in. Aibu to think she was acting immature and rude as she messed up my schedule so DD and my friends had to run ahead to reserve a table without me when I wanted us all to sit together.

Are you really sure????

GraysAnalogy · 17/07/2015 21:38

I'm not sure how this messed up your schedule. It would have taken 2 minutes tops surely?

MrsGentlyBenevolent · 17/07/2015 21:38

What is 'too close' - did it actually stop any party leaving either car? Like, forcing someone to climb out the sunroof? If not, then you probably were the unreasonable one.

This is the sum total of your worries? I'm not even sure it makes sense but setting that aside you sound like you have several sticks up your arse and should probably get a life.

Unless there is going to be a big drip feed here - YADBU and perhaps need to top up on your driving lessons and sweat the small stuff a lot less

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 17/07/2015 21:39

Ok, so she wasn't going to leave you enough room to get out of your parking place, had you left before she did?

MissDemelzaCarne · 17/07/2015 21:39

May I suggest you get out more often?
I was going to suggest the opposite. Hmm

MrsMummyPig · 17/07/2015 21:41

Regardless of the issue in the car park I still can't understand why you couldn't sit with the rest of your party, did they forget you were in the car park and not get you a seat?

FarFromAnyRoad · 17/07/2015 21:41

Two moany threads in the space of 20 minutes on a new ID.

Now I wonder who this reminds me of...........wait - it'll come to me......... Hmm

ijustwannadance · 17/07/2015 21:41

Were you driving too slowly when looking for somewhere to park? If she was driving right behind you, then parked next to you, how was she too close if you were all able to get out of car?

IgnoreMeEveryOtherReindeerDoes · 17/07/2015 21:43

I feel my time has been wasted

bluefay · 17/07/2015 21:47

Were either/both of you parking in marked bays? Or streetside?

pinkyredrose · 17/07/2015 21:50

Ffs another of these.

Charley50 · 17/07/2015 21:50

LoL Grin

bluefay · 17/07/2015 21:54

We were in marked bays but it was awkward to park as the previous person had gone out of the bays.

If you had to get rid of your old car due to a tailgater...um...think that might be called stalking actually?!

TheFormidableMrsC · 17/07/2015 21:56

Been dying to use this so Biscuit

FenellaFellorick · 17/07/2015 21:57

so she was parked perfectly well within the lines of a parking bay and you commanded her to move because you felt the parking bays were too close together and because you felt she'd driven too close behind you?

Is that what you are saying?

fastdaytears · 17/07/2015 21:59

Did you not think about moving if you were dissatisfied with the space around your car?

Floggingmolly · 17/07/2015 22:00

I don't get the "wanted us all to sit together" thing. Did the others not allow you to share their table because you were a minute or two behind them??
You do associate with some strange people.

OhEmGeee · 17/07/2015 22:00

Wtf?

Were you delivering a freshly harvested liver to a transplant recipient?
