I’ll jump straight in... For info the was a Tesco car park which wasn’t that full...
I was driving as shown and went to turn into the space to park and saw the other car move to do the same. I pulled slightly more into the space and was fully prepared to reverse out and park in the one behind me! But, I took one look at the other drivers face which was like thunder and along with their gesticulating arms, it seemed as as if they were questioning how I dared have the audacity to park in HER space in the car park, so I decided against giving up the prime space and stayed put. This caused a miniature stand off where I deliberately avoided eye contact and played on my phone 😂
Anyway, completed my shop and successfully bought the ingredients for tonight’s tea - chicken enchiladas yum! As I merrily strolled out of Tesco I saw a white napkin on my windscreen flapping innocently in the wind. I thought to myself, surely not, this can not be a note in relation to the Honda v Honda standoff that occurred not 10 minutes before... but I was wrong! Written in beautiful block capitals was the declaration that I was in fact a TW*T
My first thought was that surely no one actually cares enough? It is a parking space that you have just as much right to as I do, but given the general rules of the road I actually had right of way... I understand they might have been having a bad day and my theft of the space tipped them over, but I could have been on the worst day of my life and the note tipped me over... there is never any excuse for actions like this surely?
My second was that I FINALLY have a parking thread!
So, wise people of Mumsnet, the question is WIBU??
