No diagram though.

Was popping into the supermarket on way home. Pulled into a space. As I was pulling in another car pulled into the spave opposite me- facing me. Ok - pretty normal.

As I stopped a heard a tooting. Took me a minute to realise it was the other car. So when I got out I went over to check everything was ok. Other driver said "I was going to go into that spave, but you just swung into it!". I didn't know what reaction she was expecting, but I just said "well yes, I swung in to park in it"

Her - "But I was going into it?"
Me- we'll I'm parked in it now?
Her (apparently gobsmacked) "oh, you're so nasty!"
Me - under my breath whilst walking away "oh fuck off"

So was I really nasty? We were never at risk of hitting each other?

Oh I seeeeeee. The diagram makes all the difference.

You're fine. She is a tiny bit lazy and should have tutted and got on with her day.

Thank fuck for the diagrams, I was about to toot and demand my money back on this thread

Although getting a legitimate drive through space is a small thing that makes me smile.

It's actually safer to reverse into a space rather than out of a space.

bimbobaggins · 20/06/2017 21:40

I always reverse into spaces, I find it much easier but if I was driving through to one and someone else nipped in it wouldn't bother me .

Not if you've got a trolley load to go in the boot Ipsie

It's standard to drive into supermarket spaces so you can actually get into your boot.

It isn't standard. Lots of people reverse in if they don't need their boots. I always do.
