Arrogant, entitled bloke in the car park!

[Toast3]

I pulled into our local m&s simply food car park earlier, it's only a small store and there are only about 12 spaces. They were all full but I was in no rush so I waited. I finally saw a woman come back to her car, she unpacks her shopping, gets in and drives off so I pull forward to drive in (as you do) and there a man stood in the middle of the space, with his back to me, on his phone.
At first I thought he didn't realise so I edged a bit closer and gently tooted my horn. He turned round and said 'no, sorry' (wtf) I wound down my window and asked him to please move out of the way. He refused and said he was saving this space for his daughter who was 'on her way' ... there is only one way in and out of the car park and there was now a car behind me waiting for a space (not the daughter)..
I asked him again to please move as I was physically there and there was now a queue. He told me to fuck off! I kept calm (he was pretty aggressive) and I said 'well there's no way she can even get in the car park and there was no way I was moving and there was now a queue' (whilst desperately looking around for the blooming car park bloke that was nowhere to be seen)..
His phone then rang (his daughter I assume) who clearly couldn't leapfrog what was now 3 cars....he called me a few names and then very cockily said 'it's your lucky day' as he walked off....

WTAF is wrong with people??!!!

Does he really think that is reasonable behaviour - entitled arse!! Grrrhhh

I just can't believe that anyone would think that's ok...it wouldn't cross my mind to ever do that...

Bonkers isn't it?

iwanna AS Max and you'll see.

Did you see the thread recently that revealed that this strange pedestrian space-saving in car parks is a growing trend OP?

Manu, which thread is that? Do you have a link?

'Bitch plop trolling': saying something that Manumission doesn't agree with? Freedom for her alone.

I LOVE poor quality bitch-plop trolling as an expression. Bloody brilliant.

Love it that you stood your ground OP, entitled arse.

It's really fucked up but then M&S does tend to attract a certain type of shopper!

As someone posted on another thread - "Not just entitlement . . . M&S entitlement!"

Well done OP. if it was someone just like him he wouldn't have tried it.

Just as a matter of interest - you were part-way into the space; there was a queue of cars behind you; where did he think you were going to go?

This happened to me a couple of Xmases ago. Stupid local car park with LOADS of disabled spaces that are more empty than full (no problem with loads of disabled bays but........) but because there are officially spaces available, the barrier lets you in even though you cant actually use the blue badge only spaces, so its a bit of a nightmare. 2 young women were standing in a space and I started to pull into it and they were waving their arms saying "No no! We are saving this!" and I said that you cant save spaces, it doesnt work like that and I am parking here. They refused to move so I just edged further forward and there was a queue building behind me and the beeping started so they eventually moved calling me all the names under the sun and being threatened with what the driver would do when they told him what I had done. They scuttled off pretty bloody quick when large and scary looking H got out of the car! :o

Ugh, I'm annoyed just reading that. But hooray for your victory!

It's been at least ten years since some cunt 'stole' a space from me in a hospital car park, and I still need a lie down when I think of it.

onelast I can't find it on the mobile site search. I'd guess about three months ago, but my estimates of time aren't the best.

On that one an old lady was the perpetrator

I always find it's Sainsbury 's that attracts the dicks. Guess it depends where the supermarkets are located in your area.

Lidl is full of lovely people by me, I've even picked up a date in the queue there!

My very passive aggressive response to "its your lucky day" would have been "but apparently not yours "

"It's your lucky day"

Was he Clint Eastwood?

I can't believe that people reserve car park spaces by standing in them.
The world's gone mad.

Well done OP for standing your ground!

I would've been intimidated and then fuming with myself for not telling him to fuck off and reversing in to the space! :)

I think this is happening more and more. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen people brazenly parking in disabled bays when they're clearly not disabled and don't have a disabled person with them or parent bays when they haven't got kids with them. It makes me so angry. Why do people feels so entitled?! and are so freaking selfish!

SVJAA - That's a fantastic response! Shit! I wish I'd have thought of that......

Really annoying. Love the " she is on her way!" Ha ha! How entitled is she...must be a PFB!

I managed to find a parking space after driving around the station( in and out) after a car was pulling out. I drove forward so I could reverse in. Difficult parking in a single row and a car parked illegally so I pulled forward again to get the angle right to reverse in when as I was reversing in carefully another smaller car nicked it. I got out and called to the woman. She ignored me then got out and walked away. The people in the next car couldn't believe it. The young lad was laughing so I went over to banter with him and his mum apologised and said he was laughing because he couldn't believe cheek of the woman. I bantered with him then drove off.

What a wanker. I had this happen to me with a woman.
Bizarrely there were a few spaces left and I was halfway into one (reversing) when she suddenly appeared and banged my boot. Scared the shit out of me.
I just sat there looking at her in the mirror while she waved her arms around.
I put my window down and she yelled that I needed to move because she was saving this space for her husband. I have no idea, where he even was or why she suddenly bounded into that space.
I told her to get out of the way and she folded her arms and said no make me
At this point I flew out of the car shouting at her to move or I'd fucking run her over.
She seemed surprised at my sudden melt down and legged it.
I then spend a lovely half hour being glared at in the shop, as her and her DH ended up in every aisle I did

WLF46 I think I live in the same area as you. Recently when reversing out of a busy Lidl car park a man was so impatient to get my space that he was wildly gesturing to me to reverse despite a woman about to walk past my car with her trolley, I pointed to her as if to say "no, I'm not reversing there's someone crossing!" He paused then carried on wildly waving again. Yeah, sure mate I'll just mow her down so that you can have my space 15 seconds faster

Well done Toast3 for not backing down - I'd have been tempted to reply that a lucky day wouldn't involve a dickhead like him.

I then spend a lovely half hour being glared at in the shop, as her and her DH ended up in every aisle I did

seems they found a space then

Furry

My parents live near a station and have no drive so parking there is always a hassle. I do ask her to take out a dining chair and sit in the middle of a space if she sees one but she refuses. Can't think why. I'll have to tell her it's the done thing now.

It wouldn't have been hard, there was loads left! That's why I couldn't figure out why she wanted the one I was in.
Maybe it had a special meaning to them, first date or carpark shag.

Maybe you should have just shouted out to him "Fuck me, mate - you forgot your bloody car!! This isn't PEOPLE parking, you know!"

People are so odd sometimes.

Go OP! Good on you for standing your ground!
