In Sainsbury's car park. I've just parked in front of this Mini so they can't leave before I've said my piece Shock

Why?

Greyponcho · 24/01/2018 12:32

You don’t know their shit, they might be having the day from hell and don’t need someone having a go.
Take a deep breath.
Leave it, park elsewhere.

Why does it matter so much to you ?

Honestly find something else to do?

No they haven’t parked great but I just couldn’t be bothered, it’s not like they’ve drowned a puppy!

ElderflowerWaterIsDelish · 24/01/2018 12:33

Take a deep breath and do your shopping and leave...why look for argument's when it doesn't involve you? If it really bothers you tell the shop...

Biscusting · 24/01/2018 12:33

Chill, really.

ThePinkOcelot · 24/01/2018 12:33

Eh?! You got nothing else to do?!

rabbit12345 · 24/01/2018 12:33

Really? It doesn’t look particularly busy. Why do you need urgently talking down?

cookiedough1 · 24/01/2018 12:33

Why would you?

Just go park your car and carry on with your day fgs.

SparkleFizz · 24/01/2018 12:34

Is this because they’ve parked badly?

Annoying, but it’s not really worth a showdown surely? Anyone parking in the next space will still have more room than if they were in a standard space.

Anymajordude · 24/01/2018 12:34

Let it go, not worth raising your blood pressure over. There will always be twats in the world and people who can't park. Don't get riled, save your battles.

buddhasbelly · 24/01/2018 12:34

OP let the little things go. You're wasting your day to talk to a stranger about their parking.

EggsonHeads · 24/01/2018 12:34

It's extra funny because it's a mini. I can't help but wonder though whether there may have been two cars parked in those bays and they squeezed in between them like some sort of parking savage.

Nicknacky · 24/01/2018 12:34

Did you forget to put "light hearted" in your heading?

Hogtini · 24/01/2018 12:34

Get a life

NextIndia · 24/01/2018 12:35

FFS. What's it got to do with you? You sound like an arsehole.

BishopBrennansArse · 24/01/2018 12:35

Hope you get a ticket for obstructive parking, then.

buddhasbelly · 24/01/2018 12:35

Maybe use the time you'd spend talking to the stranger to think of a hobby you might like to do.

VladmirsPoutine · 24/01/2018 12:36

'Talk you down'.... really? How about I talk you into getting a grip.

GreenSeededGrape · 24/01/2018 12:36

I càn see two other spaces Confused

SoupDragon · 24/01/2018 12:39

Do you know how the cars were parked either side before you arrived?

OracleofDelphi · 24/01/2018 12:40

Wow...... rule for life... try hard not to fight with strangers..... Really if that was the only space in the whole car park I can understand you rolling your eyes as you drove past. But I couldnt ever get that upset about it to post on the internet and block someone in??? Shock.... And Im quite a rage-y person!

Move on and save your fight for when you need it.

SoupDragon · 24/01/2018 12:40

Why are you parcking like a twat and causing an obstruction so that you can launch into a moral tirade at someone who is not causing an obstruction?

OracleofDelphi · 24/01/2018 12:41

ps - your username isn't really reflecting you attitude to this ! Wink
