car park wars (with basic diagram)

KinkyAfro · 21/05/2018 14:56

Nipped to the shops in my lunch hour and parked in a fairly narrow car park, a car came in (marked 'her' on the diagram) and parked in front of my car, took her seatbelt off and just sat there. I waited a minute or so then pulled forward a little so she could see I wanted to get out but she just looked away; I gave a little 'pip' of the horn, not a full on beep and again she ignored me. I gave another little pip and she lifted her arms up in a what I'd call a 'whatdoyouwantmetodo' gesture so I asked her to please move her car a bit so I could get out. Nothing.

I got out of my car and went over and asked again if she could please move forward or backwards to let me out and she said "my fucking mum's disabled, I'm waiting for a space". So I said "there isn't any disabled spaces empty just now so if you could just pull forward I can get out". She then told me to "fuck off you fat cunt" and finally moved her car.

Firstly I was gutted because I've lost a lot of weight over the last year so that really stung, secondly was I out of order asking her to move? How long would you have waited?

OP, you've done bloody well to lose that weight. Unfortunately for her, there isnt an known cure for cuntyness.

Be glad that you arent her.

Remember: You’ve lost weight but she will always be a bitch Flowers

KinkyAfro well done on your weight loss journey. You have changed how you look and feel but that inconsiderate driver will always be lacking in social graces Grin

NotAnotherUserName5 · 21/05/2018 15:42

Well done on the weight loss. Please don't let some bitch ruin how good you were feeling about yourself.

She was bu, obviously

Iloveacurry · 21/05/2018 15:44

She just a rude bitch. I wouldn’t worry about it any further.

corcaithecat · 21/05/2018 15:44

C'mon OP. You know she's a grade A arsehole and would still have acted that way if you looked like a supermodel. Don't waste headspace thinking about her. You've done incredibly well to lose over 7 stones so focus on how brilliant you are.

If there had been no one else around I'd have given the bitch what for but I didn't want to make a show of myself in front of others Grin

I'm confused. If you're the 'Me' in the picture, why didn't you just pull out and drive to the right, then loop back around another aisle?

NotARegularPenguin · 21/05/2018 15:46

I bet you looked fab. It's just an easy insult for anyone who isn't a size 8.

Someone called me a fat bitch once when I was a size 16...
.she must have been a size 24. I did giggle.

BewareofDragons there isn't another aisle. The way in/out is on the left of my diagram, there is no exit at the other end

I don't get it. There were loads of empty spaces. Why was she double parked?
She could easily have parked taking up two spaces, or in the middle of those three spaces, so that her mother could get out, if that was the issue?

Also, why wouldn't she move a bit for you to get out?

She'd get a continuous beep from me until she moved. Or I'd ring the police for her obstruction.

Don't let yourself be affected by such nasty people.

Flowers Flowers Flowers I know it's easy for me to say, but really, you shouldn't let yourself be bothered by a Neanderthal who refers to her own mother as "my fucking mother" - she is definitely NOT worth worrying about.
She was in the wrong on all counts - under no circumstances is it acceptable behaviour to refuse to move to allow someone who is correctly parked to leave their space when they ask you to, or simply when they make it clear that they are moving off (engine on and moving forward... the little "pip" just in case she wasn't paying attention, without an agressive full on blast of the horn.... you did it all right.)
Her behaviour and remarks were vile and unnecessary - they show her up for the disgusting specimen she is, not you. If it hadn't been your weight it'd have been your glasses, your make-up, your morals - she doesn't know you - she just picked on the first think that came into her potty mouth, without it passing through her cranial cavity (no brain worth mentioning): she's a shallow, miserable git - don't give her room in your head by thinking about her any more.

Your guess is as good as mine Lweji, I do not know

Her mother must be SO proud.

Lweji the asterisked spaces are taken - definitely two on each side of me, all the disabled and the odd random one. If the spaces hadn't been taken next to me, I could've swung out

I would have found the nearest rock and thrown it through her window.

Tempting Lion but that might have escalated the situation a tad!

The thing is though I was actually pleased with what I was wearing today, took a lot of hard work losing 7.5 stones and I thought I looked OK

You will have looked BETTER than just OK Kinky, you'll have looked stunning! Congratulations on such a great achievement.

One comment from a stupid woman has brought me right back down to earth.
Please ignore what she said, she was an opinionated insert derogatory term of choice here and what's more, her opinion doesn't matter.

She just let out a stream of words. She did not speak the truth
Hold your head high, you are a Star

Murane · 21/05/2018 15:59

She is a twat. Don't waste any more of your time thinking about her.

Lweji · 21/05/2018 16:02

It's her mother I feel sorry for. Grin

Goodasgoldilox · 21/05/2018 16:03

If her eyesight is so bad that she couldn't see she should move to let you out... then her judgement on your figure should certainly not be considered relevant!

GabriellaMontez · 21/05/2018 16:04

She's vile. Don't give her another moment of your head space.

Yogagirl123 · 21/05/2018 16:05
