Am in sains car park trying to get big bag out of trolley into boot - ds3 age months in trolley - this woman starts reversing towards me - so I try to get bag back into trolley - she reverses even closer - so I stand between her and trolley and I push trolley right up to my boot - she looks at me and reverses even closer - at which point I give her a filthy look as it is obvious I have a baby in the trolley and you could turn a fucking sains lorry in the space she was in - then man comes out of sains gets in trolley - then she turns round to me sticks her fingers up at me and drives off

a) she nearly squashed my baby
b) there were no kids in the car in the baby section
c) she left her engine running which always winds me up
d) she made out like I had done something wrong

I am so angry still and it happened 4 hours ago!

She have keyed her f'ing car - bitch

I really cannot see her side of this

  • am I being unreasonable???

what a bloody Bitch....I would be fuming, too...how scary people like that are alowed out, feeling for you.

Thats so out of order, silly b*tch. Think all nice things, at least you don't live next door to her or have to work in the same office.

I always beleive what comes round goes round and she will get hers.

There was just no need for this type of pathetic behaviour.

I must say when mine were little I always put the children in the car before I unloaded the shopping. Did this one day and when I turned round my trolley had gone! thought someone had nicked it... Looked further and it had rolled down and stopped on a post (why are supermarket carparks always on a slight slope?)

It must have been frighteneing thinking when the hell is she going to stop. There are some strange drivers out there. I followed a woman in a car into an empty car park and she stopped the car, got out and came back to me and said can you get out of the b*oody way I want to park there - pointing at one of the spaces I was across? the car park was empty she could have parked anywhere???!!!

Yes, she was a nob, but I think you are being a tad sensitive about it all.

americantrish · 21/07/2007 17:06

good gods that reminds me of a time i was walking thru a asda car park in bedfordshire when ds was 4 months old and this lady almost hit us and when i said something VERY loudly to her in her massive 4x4, she drove around and made a point of telling me "next time she'd hit us!" AND she had about 4 children in the car (age 6 and up!)

you have to wonder WTF some people are thinking! really!!

i hope you've calmed down some from this...
i know exactly how you felt though....sigh

Malfoynomore · 21/07/2007 17:09

moodymare...why is op to sensitive about it?

Ripeberry · 21/07/2007 17:13

Anyone with a bit of decency would stop reversing or actually wait for someone with a baby/small child.
Down by my local tesco there is a small crossing just before you get in the shop and loads of times people just drive accross and even speed up as you approach.
One stupid woman driver did this when my DD1 was only 2 months old and i was very protective of her.
Anyway this woman drives on with just centimetres to spare so i shouted at her and she actually stopped to give me some verball back and a totall stranger also told her off for doing what she did...result!
On holiday once in France someone did that (not waiting for you to cross) and i kicked his door.. had a lovely dent but he just carried on...i was ready to floor him.
Must have just thought to himself.
Merde de tonerre, elle est fou! nest ce pas?

The man got in the car not the trolley!!

Am feeling slightly better - pureeing food with a hand whisk does wonders - great anger therapy - but am now covered in splatters of courgette

A man comes and gets in her car?

I assume it was a partener?

octo · 21/07/2007 18:40

I didn't stop to ask! But it was after he got in that she stuck her fingers up. And to put it itno scale - by the time she actually stopped she was about 5cm away from the trolley

No I think YANBU. If you park in the parent and child spaces then you expect their to be parents and children (probably in trolleys) in that area. And you deal with it. For some bizarre reason she didn't.

I would get over it now - she's not worht wasting your emotions on.

milfAKAmonkeymonkeymoomoo · 21/07/2007 18:50

Some arse in a modified Fiesta accelerated towards me and DD in her pushchair in a car park last week. Braked sharply and laughed, I thought it was hilarious

YANBU

Some people undergo a complete personality change when they get behind the wheel. A bloke in a white van deliberately drove into my DH when he was cycling home the other week and drove off while DH was lying by the road. Terrifying. DH is OK and police are not interested

Hope you're feeling calmer now. YANBU.

Upwind · 22/07/2007 19:20

So many drivers seem to get road rage at the thought of a mere cyclist or a mother with a baby holding them up for five seconds.

Scope for an interesting PhD in psychology I think...

whomovedmychocolate · 22/07/2007 19:26

God, I'd have chucked my shopping at her car - especially any tinned goods in defence YANBU (which makes a change round here because most of these threads are barking!)

Hope you are okay now.

However, you do realise you are going to get jumped on by the anti-early weaning brigade now don't you?

oooggs · 22/07/2007 19:30

bloody hell octo, I would have keyed her car but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Nothing wrong with weaning at 3 mths old

octo · 23/07/2007 12:06

who said I was weaning - pureeing Thanks oooggs!!!
