To be annoyed at people in large 4X4 pickups to complain that parking spaces too small

Hi, I had parked my car neatly within the lines marked out for the parking bay and was just returning back to it when a woman in a MASSIVE pick-up truck parks right next to me and so i have to wait as she gets out of her car.
She almost bashes my side of the car and then she gives me a look an says "Its not my fault these spaces are not big enough"
I had to really bite my tongue as she had two school age children with her as i would have loved to have said "well, most people drive normal cars and we don't all have a fat arse like you"
Because, no kidding, she was a fat arsed lady, almost totally round, no wonder she can't fit in spaces.
God help her if someone blocks her in, should be a funny sight trying to crawl in the boot to move the car.
Sorry about the rant, but she really got on my goat.

southeastastra · 26/06/2007 18:16

poor ripeberry

muppetgirl · 26/06/2007 18:24

To go back to the origional thread...
YES.
(You are being unreasonable)
I didn't realise there was a law about what size car we are allowed to drive, how big our arses should be without offending anyone.

allgonebellyup · 26/06/2007 18:27

people with fat behinds are maybe lazy and possibly rather greedy... huge cars are evil to the environment as they guzzle so much gas, thus creating Co2..

"God help her if someone blocks her in, should be a funny sight trying to crawl in the boot to move the car"

What a truly awful comment to make about someone. She is the one I feel bade for.

allgonebellyup · 26/06/2007 18:29

I have a Yaris and think the spaces are too small, hence I always take up 2 spaces
