Why are some people so horrible?

Waiting for a parking space in local forest car park. There aren't many, it's always busy at weekend.

I'd been waiting with two young kids in the car about 10mins. Black BMW also waiting although he'd only just arrived.

Man returns to car, reverses out, BMW zooms into space before I can. He could see I was waiting it was done quite aggressively.

I got out and said excuse me I've been waiting longer. "So what" shrugged his shoulders. Woman he was with just laughed. Both fairly aggressive, I felt quite intimidated and then uncomfortable walking in the forest (once we finally got a space!) They then proceeded to wait for friends so it's not like they were in a hurry.

AIBU? Why are some people just horrible with no manners

They’re cunts.

Cunt sounds right.

These are the people ruin the place for everyone else.

Wilkolampshade · 10/10/2021 13:53

BMW's though.

MangoBiscuit · 10/10/2021 13:54

Yeah. I agree with previous posters, they're cunts. But looking a little deeper, I think that they felt compelled to act like that to feel better about themselves. "Snagged the parking spot first! Go Me!" In which case, how fucking miserable must they be in the first place?! I would pity them.

Yes this.

Just pity them, they got the parking space, but they have to spend the whole of their lives a) being awful and b) everyone knowing they're awful.

Short and sweet - but sums it up 🤣🤣

People like this have issues. I often shrug (with annoyance) and be thankful I don't have such issues that my life is validated by getting a space first or whatever.

PinkiOcelot · 10/10/2021 13:59

Some people just are. Do you think it comes naturally to them or do they actually have to put the effort in to be horrible?

ShirleyPhallus · 10/10/2021 14:01

I would be too worried to do this in case the person waiting for the spot keyed my car while I was gone

Sardine in the exhaust pipe?

WorraLiberty · 10/10/2021 14:06

You've mentioned the make of car is a BMW so that's going to spark some silly comments.

But YANBU, I agree with the PP who said some people are just cunts.

I fell over in a shop this morning. I have MS and my balance is rubbish. My daughter helped me up but was upset (shes12) because a grown man thought it was hilarious and was laughing at me. Some people are just horrible. I don't know what enjoyment they get from other peoples upset. Says a lot about them doesn't it.

LaurieFairyCake · 10/10/2021 14:19

I'd have driven in to them - I've got a shit car that I don't care about

Like Kathy Bates in "Fried Green Tomatoes"

ThinWomansBrain · 10/10/2021 14:25

and some people are so vile that they can only think of the name of an exclusively female body part to describe a mans' unacceptable behaviourHmm

Nah, I can think of loads but cunt is my favourite.
pelosi · 10/10/2021 14:34

YANBU, they were dicks (😂).

Could you think about how best to manoeuvre your car next rime so this doesn’t happen again?

SummerHouse · 10/10/2021 14:35

They're dicks?

BlanketPiggy · 10/10/2021 14:36

They have nothing else to do with their sad little lives

SummerHouse · 10/10/2021 14:37

Beat me to it @Pelosi Smile

FreeBritnee · 10/10/2021 14:37

Agreed. They are just your standard garden variety cunts. The only positive to take from it is one day he’ll be old and someone will probably shove him out the way or walk past when he falls and then he’ll wonder what happened to common decency and community and he might have this nagging thought that he was also once quite the arsehole.

JovialNickname · 10/10/2021 14:40

I'll let you in on a little mantra that has helped me through life:

Some people are cunts.

They just are, no point questioning the whys and wherefores. Sorry they made you feel bad, it wasn't about you but them. Really x

loobylou10 · 10/10/2021 14:53

Yep - cunts.

hookiewookie29 · 10/10/2021 14:55

Obviously makes him feel better about his small dick......

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 10/10/2021 14:56

Horrible people. Would be a shame if their car had a big scratch along it waiting for them when they returned.

NigellaSeed · 10/10/2021 15:01

@FreeBritnee just standard garden variety cunts made me lol
