Yesterday evening, DS (age 10) was ill in bed with a temp of 101. DH, working late. I needed more Calpol so decided to pop out to get (max 10 min round trip) some more and at the same time pick up a takeaway having had a long day. I left DS at home with older DD and DM who's staying with us. Got to shops, absolutely nowhere to park. Went around the block then found a tiny place. I squeezed into it, close to the car in front and with my bottom sticking out too, yes, I hold my hands up to Very Bad Parking. However, I wasn't blocking the road. I got back in just under 5 mins. Just starting engine and a woman (nicely dressed in her 70s) came over and banged on my window hard and screamed "We've had to wait 5 minutes because of your appalling parking". I hadn't realised that they themselves had parked so close to the car in front of them so they were pretty much boxed in. I was about to say "I'm really sorry about that, let me get on my way and you'll then be able to leave too" and she then screamed "You stupid f btch". I then shut the window. She carried on screaming and started to kick my car! Her husband then yanked the car door open and started yelling and yelling at me about my parking, "what were you f* thinking of" and yelling and yelling, all the time his wife is screaming obscenities in the background and still kicking my car. I asked him to let me shut my door and he wouldn't let me and obstructed me. I told him I'd call the Police. He said, he was going to call them to report my parking and I told him to go ahead and do so as I accept I had parked badly. At which point he let go of the car door and I shut and locked the doors. All the time this woman is still screaming and kicking my car. It was bizarre, they were a nicely dressed, elderly couple, just not the types you could imagine being so awful (serves me right for stereotypying people!). I would have thought they might have complained (but I genuinely didn't realise they couldn't get out of thei space), but the reaction was completely OTT. Parking situations happen all the time in busy areas like but I'd never react like that! I reported it to 101 Police. They said that if I wanted to make a complaint I'd have to go and report it in person. They agreed the reaction was completely OTT. So sensible ladies, I'm already feeling better having got this off my chest, do I report them for threatening and unreasonable behaviour or just have a big glass of wine and forget it? DH says report them! He says it's afray at least!
