To cause a massive scene in Sainsbury's car park

[momma1701]

Earlier today I went to Sainsbury's with both my DD's (7&1) I was just about about to pull in to the last mother and baby space when someone cuts me up to park there, ok annoying as fuck but whatever.
I find another non baby space which is a very tight squeeze with my car (it's quite big) not to mention the whole faf off youngest DD and her car seat palava, so we've finally got out just about and set out to go in store, this is when I notice the guy who cuts me up is on his own, not only that I recognise he's the same guy who done this to me last week!
So I flipped out!
I asked him where his kids were and does he think it's acceptable to be able bodied (I know this now I've recognised him as I actually went to school with him and he lives near me) and watch someone else struggle whilst he doesn't actually need the space.
So what I got back was him shouting to me 'you don't have to have kids to park here' and 'I'll park where the fuck I want'
By this time my oldest DD was very upset with our shouting and his swearing so I started to walk away, he proceeded to shout abuse behind me and it was all just very embarrassing really!
All in all I'm glad I called him out in front of lots of tutting and clapping people but I wish I hadn't upset my DD, I just hate disrespectful people! And I went in and reported him

No I have two kids one of whom has just turned 1, read posts

I'm with you it's so infuriating - it's not even about the space it's about people's complete disregard are anyone else. Idiots!

Perhaps the fact he does it every time he goes there is an indicator that despite what you think he does have a need for the space?

That's what it is disregard, not particularly the space itself

The &OP's DD is 7 FFS!*

Yes. And there is,of course, the one year oldDD too.

Do try to read properly.

Nope it means he's a lazy bastard who's stated it's because he doesn't want his car getting scratched as it's new

OP why does your 7 yr old need a special parking space? (You haven't got an excuse that your car is 'big'. People with large cars and no children park in normal spaces.)

Can she not walk? Can you not hold open the door while she gets out?

You are being ridiculous , and if anyone is entitled, it's you.

Perhaps the fact he does it every time he goes there is an indicator that despite what you think he does have a need for the space?

I think it's a good indicator that he he is an arsehole actually.

Ds is 7 and disabled. Uses a SN buggy because of his poor mobility but doesn't have a blue badge.

They are very hard to get and there are lots of people who are disabled who wouldn't qualify for a badge but will still find the extra space/closeness to the store makes life much easier when shopping.

Soup life is too short to read zillions of posts. My point still stands. She's pompous and is being ridiculous.

You'd never get this at Waitrose. Typical Sainsbury's customer :)

Pollyperky have you sought help for your inability to read?

That is your interpretation but doesn't mean it's true. Even if it is true what did you think you were going to achieve other than making yourself look equally as unreasonable as he was?

Soup There are lots of disabilities that don't automatically come with a blue badge.

life is too short to read zillions of posts

Is it too short to read even the very first sentence onto thread?

"On the" thread.

My kids, plural, are 7 and 1, the seven year old got upset my 1 year old had to be dragged from the opposite side of the car!
If you cba reading posts dot try and comment like you know

There are lots of disabilities that don't automatically come with a blue badge.

And?

If you don't have a blue badge, you shouldn't park in spaces that are not applicable to you.

It comes down to the fact he does this everytime he shops there,

Every time he goes there when you are there OP which seems like an awful lot for some reason....

He may be there right now, parked in a normal space.

Ok everytime me and my OH go he does it, better

You must all do a lot of shopping at this Sainsburys.

Sirzy Please tell your son that when he is old enough to drive, not to ever make use of a P&C space if there is no disability space available. Apparent his disability won't count because he can't have a blue badge.

I think op, you used MN frowned upon slight exaggeration in your post. If you had said 'was I unreasonable to get a bit cross and mention it to the guy who cut me up, and nicked my space- not for the first time. Then he swore at me and my DCs' then you would have had a different response.

OP, LIFE IS TOO SHORT.
Some people are selfish idiots.
No need to get into a slanging match with anyone.
Do you think he's given this incident a second thought?
If you see him next week doing the same thing, just wait for another P&C space to become available. Park in it and go shopping.

Oh c'mon Soup. If you only knew the irony of that comment.
I don't have the time or motivation to read zillions of posts.
If you want to go down that road, I'll start on the OP's grammar and punctuation....

OP you sound about 12. Since when was it so terrible that a child had to be carried or even 'dragged' across the car seats?

You seriously need to grow up and find something more important to spend your time fretting about.

It is clearly stated in the first sentence.
