...to want to punch the lights out of the sanctamonious cow who said "Can't you read" to me when I accidently drove against the arrows in Tesco's car park?

[akaJamiesMum]

Sanctamonious cow. Wanted to shout back (but wasn't quick enough) "Sorry dearie I made a mistake - like the one your mother made when she had you"

or would that have been too OTT? Grrrrr!

I get irritated when people drive against the arrows and so wouldn't do this deliberately - it was an honest mistake. However, I never feel the need to shout at other drivers.

Would bet my life that this stupid bitch has done the same at times. Oh am sooooo angry and annoyed.

Forgive bad language but am sooo cross.

grabs lunch and tea and hides at safe distance

Isabel goes to check if the moon is in the wrong position today...

oops! I've just noticed my freudian slip in spelling DominiConnor's name wrong (as Domini O Conner). I think the problem is whenever I see his posts my subconscious mind summons up ....

Although Des is far more of a gentleman of course

I wish you hadn't done that, hmc - that's who I will always see when I read DC's posts now

Mr. O'Connor is indeed more of a gentleman than I. Although I wasn't the person who shouted at the dimwit akaJamiesMum, I would have.

I have of course made errors when driving, but when people have pointed them out (once by screaming quite loudly), I have felt embarrassed, not belligerent.

Lay off the personal insults DC and while your at it get yourself a dictionary and look up the word cretin.

I thought words referring to disability and then used as insults went out with the ark.

would you drive they wrong way down a one way road to get to where you were going quicker as well?

You could have said, "no I can't read and I haven't got a driving licence or insurance either" - just to get her dander up even further. That would have tied her in knots whilst she tried to get your registration!

I am not kidding, lidl has a much better class of customer. I have NEVER had abuse at hurled at me in lidl

blimey, just read the whole thread,

reactions are a bit OTT for a honest mistake, no?

you were in the wrong JamiesMum .. she's not a sanctimonious cow .. you should have apologised and smiled

and yes YABU

Dearie me, it must be hoity toity o'clock....

Look at the logic here.
If you believe it was an honest mistake, then why doesn't it apply both ways.
akaJamiesMum claims it was a mistake that made her do stupidly dangerous things.
The other person made a mistake in telling her so.
If you are going to let off the belligerent incompetence of akaJamiesMum, then the other person surely deserves the same treatment.

I don't expect akaJamiesMum or handlemecarefully to agree. Because they are good drivers, aren't they, and as such any criticism of them is obviously wrong.

well my advice would be to ditch tesco as its full of morons

ours is though unluckily.....

i take a strict liability approach when it comes to driving.you can't afford to make mistakes even honest ones.and as such any mistakes must be treated as though they were done intentionally.i once broke a red light due to honest mistake, i didn't tear the police who pulled me over apart.they pointed out what i had done and asked why i'd done it, i explained the reason but didn't try to excuse it,i paid my fine. if you are ignorant and selfish enough to ignore the rules of the road(even in a car park) then you deserve to be shouted at, the same way people who do not indicate at roundabouts deserve to be put down.

Ok so this was an honest mistake and we all make mistakes. I don't think you'll be doing that again.

However, if you had been unfortunate enough to collide with a vehicle whilst going against the direction of the arrows you would be completely at fault.

Can I just jump in and say that mistakes happen and some car parks are bloody confusing. People are too quick to get narked at other drivers and IME especially men.

If people scowl at me when driving or give me grief, I do a 16 point turn to waste their time or pretend I generally can't drive and can't get out of parking spaces. It's so funny to see them getting cross.

Is this why DC has been called by MNHQ ?

I was going to post about something similar, actually!

I live on a one-way street, and now that I have a car to drive (!) I have noticed all these cars coming up the wrong way up our street!

It really bugs me...

I know these people KNOW they are going up the wrong way, and I guess it saves time, but it doesn't really excuse them does it?

To the OP, sounds like the other driver was being a bit of a cow!

I reported the post that called someone a cretin because it was a fairly flagrant personal attack, I thought.
