WIBU to park here?

Went to do a supermarket shop today-big retail park type place with millions of spaces but all full --what with every other git having had the same plan as me

Drove round a few times but no spaces, toddler wakes up from napping and starts yelling like a banshee....so I thought nah, fuck this shit, and parked in one of the spaces for electric cars. I should point out that there was an entire row of these-we're talking a good 12-15 spaces, and only a quarter of them were occupied

Anyway, got us out the car and someone walking past makes a comment along the lines of 'you know those are for electric cars don't you?' To which I smiled and gave a jolly double thumbs up back

My view is, there were loads of these spaces, and it's not like I was taking up a disabled space. When I told my mum though she was HORRIFIED because society has rules and I'm clearly some kind of anarchist. I was like, it's Christmas mum-who dares wins!

So, WIBU?!

You sound a bit like a knob OP but I also kinda like you 😂

I think you knew you were being a bit cheeky, but I can see the frustration when all those spaces sit empty. I think in that circumstance its hardly the crime of the century, but you should expect a comment or two and take them with good grace, as you are technically in the wrong.

There isn't half some prime ministers to be on here today!
No I'd have done the same bloody thing!

Life is too short to fight over carparking spaces. If its not legally binding your all good

Another self entitled VIP who parks wherever is most convenient for her .. what is we all said sod it to designated spaces rules. Do another lap of the car park like everybody else!

yes, you are rude, but so are many drivers. We could all try to behave nicely, or not give a damn about anyone else. Seems that Christmas is pulling out all the CF out of their cave even worst than normal

If P&C spaces are fair game for every lazy fucker in town then electric spaces can be too!

What does that square thing mean (misses point of thread)

saltandvinegarcrisps1 · 21/12/2018 15:50

They are thumbs up which your device doesn’t recognise

WIBU to park here?
Pinkyyy · 21/12/2018 15:51

I'd have done exactly the same OP

saltandvinegarcrisps1 · 21/12/2018 15:54

Soubriquet.....interesting. I've seen it many times and it's been bugging me for ages that I couldn't work out what it meant! Thank you. 👍

@erykahb

"us ladies?"

Dirtygirtyisthirty · 21/12/2018 16:17

@irenaballerina I am a bit of a knob to be fair, but also I reckon I'd be ok in a zombie apocalypse 😆

@OnlyFoolsnMothers it was a case of no other spaces at all as opposed to me gunning for one just to be close to the shop-I'd done a few laps already to try and find a regular space

Because no other person is doing that this time of year
