Best passive aggressive/petty moments..

[LittleMissUnreasonable]

The other day I was trying to park in one of those private run car parks where there are no designated spaces. There was only one quite awkward space left and there was another car behind me who was practically sat on my tail trying to get this awkward spot. I decided to reverse out and find another car park but this tailgating car was not letting me go go as they were so hell-bent on getting this space and were trying to go around me. I just thought screw it and drove into the spot as I had nowhere to go. You could practically see the red mist coming from the driver's ears as they had to reverse and find another car park 😤

Another consistent one is that we have a manager who will without fail walk up to a small group of colleagues with a query and direct it to the men, completely ignoring the women. So now, even if I know the answer and the male colleague doesn't, I will just get on with my work and not intervene. It's funny to see the manager flapping around trying to work out the answer when he could have just asked...you know...a woman😱

That previous message was to @GentlemanJay .
Who leaves someone stranded like that.

Are you deliberately trying to be completely obtuse to everyone and anyone? Or can't you read?

Her husband is the young black man
it was the shop assistant who did the assuming 😊

Thank you, @LilacWines

That is totally clear now 👍👍👍👍

I've just belly laughed so loudly at your response - "This must be the most quoted shop assistant in history"

I understood the poster immediately and when I read the 'what's being black got to do with it?' reply I thought the same as you.

People do misread which is obviously is fine. Feel it's unfair on the poster whose story it is though, as now people are jumping on it as if she wasn't coherent! She was, they misread.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. If it had been any other parent I would have helped out. It was a school car park. He was a grown man. He can sort him self out.

I just had one this week. I was in a changing room. Granted it was dusty on the floor. A canny lad had told me to use any changing room. Supervisor came in and had a go at him for the dust saying he should have swept them. Really being aggressive. She said there's nothing worse than dirty changing rooms. I piped up in my most assertive tone that I would imagine being told off within earshot of others is probably worse. She just mumbled and told him to go in the till. I could hear her being so fake to other customers. When I handed garments to her she couldn't even look at me. I just said have a nice day in my fakest voice.

Oh and no way had the amount of dust appeared overnight.

My name when shortened becomes another name - think Julia to Julie. I don’t mind it being shortened but I try to avoid it because it just causes confusion. Now I was on a team with another lady called Julie. Obviously then I really tried to discourage it being shortened because we were often mixed up as it was.

I was dealing with a pigheaded contractor who was so rude and up himself. He could not admit he was wrong even if it was glaringly obvious. Now I would sign all my emails as Julia. My email address was Julia.shelby@companyname. He insisted on replying to Julie.

id had enough of him by that point. So every reply that got sent in the chain I would make my name two sizes bigger. And then i would bold it. Then underline it. Then turn it pink. It was ridiculous.

by the time he got the jist and called me Julia my name was size 24 underlined, bold and neon pink!

‘Remember a 50 something woman’

Just for clarification, 50 years old? 50 kilos? 50 heads? 50 IQ points?

Oh I am going to do this! My name is constantly misspelled, really not that hard!

OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE

The poster's DH is the victim of racism in this story. He is black.
She is saying that in the shop, he had issues, often, when he went to buy things with a credit card, because they were racist.

He is black.

They assumed that when he, a black customer, went in, that he was trying to use a stolen card.

One day, he went into this shop, because his mother really liked things in it, to purchase something.
When he, a black police officer there as a customer, saw a credit card crime being committed in that same shop, by the person in front of him in the queue, he arrested the criminal.

This could be quite outing...
In summer I often left my washing on the line if it wasn't quite dry. One morning a neighbour told me she'd seen a male neighbour coming into my garden late at night and messing about with my underwear. This neighbour had form for other worrying sexual misbehaviour.
I waited till he and his family were all outside and we could see each other, went out with my marigolds on, put all the underwear in a large envelope and posted it through his door.

Given standards of truth in journalism, obviously that is if anything an endorsement.

Give it up, everyone can see you're flogging a very, very dead horse.

My daughters school trip. Along with the itinerary everyone got a snotty note about not parking in front of the school as they needed to keep it clear for the the coaches. On the day parents are waiting outside to see offspring off. Head teacher marches over with a face like thunder. "THOSE OF YOU WHO PARKED IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL MOVE NOW!!!" We all looked and shook our heads. I fully enjoyed watching several staff members sheepishly move their cars a few minutes later 😂😂

It's been explained upthread.

I worked with a horrible woman years ago. She would spend ages on the phone talking to people about non work stuff and then if they asked her to do something she would be saying I haven't got time for that! She was very rude to a lot of colleagues. She was milk monitor and looked after coffee/pens//biscuits for office. One of those if you wanted a new pen you'd have to prove your old one had run out before she'd unlock the cupboard for pens.

She would put that cleaning stuff in her cup on an evening to soak before she left so it'd clean her cup overnight. I left later than her. I would replace the cleaner with water every time so it never cleaned it 😂she never knew.

You need to use the report function on your original post

At the weekend, I indicated to reverse park in the road but the stupid bus tailgating me didn't leave enough space let me do it. So I drove a bit further along, saw another space, indicated again and then
R E A L L Y S L O W L Y reversed into that space instead.

What have I just read. Your mum was a cf. She should have paid to be seated together as perhaps the other lady had. Or if this wasn't possible then she should have got you both to the airport earlier to ensure you were sat together. Ripping pages out of someone's book for not moving is disgusting behaviour. The woman had no obligation to switch seats at all.

I love this!
