Have already posted in chat, but am putting on here too.
My parents have recently split up, after nearly 30 years together. Yesterday was the final day before their house no longer belonged to them - it got sold a few months ago and my mum moved out a few months ago. So me and dp were helping my dad move out of the house Id grown up in for 20 years, so it was pretty emotional, plus Im 26 weeks pg, and very tearful, so it really was a crap day.
Anyway, we filled up my car with stuff and took it to the mobile home retirement park where my dad is moving to. I parked the car (in a car park space!!), and helped everybody move the boxes and things into dads mobile home. Five minutes later, a lady knocks on dads door, and asked (very politely) if we had parked a car out front. I said I had, and asked if it was in the way. She said it wasnt but her husband wanted me to move it. Anyway, I walked to the car park, with my 3 year old, and some old guy, who was about 65 had parked right behind me, and was pipping his ca horn constantly. As I was walking over (I was smiling, Im not a rude person, honest!), I said, Im sorry, am I in your way?
He said, "Look, look, what this?!" And pointed to a yellow line on the ground. What it actually was, was a disabled space apparently, however, there was no disabled sign, just a very faded, and extremely badly marked out yellow line, instead of white. I said " Im sorry, I didnt realise." He said, "Why? Are you blind aswell as ignorant?" I said "No, I just didnt know, Iv never been here before." Then he called me stupid - all infront of my 3 yr old. Then I said to him, "Well, I am 7 months pregnant, I didnt realise I had to park on the A6 and walk all the way here." - The A6 being he main road running past the site. He said "Well you shouldnt going lying around in peoples beds if your worried about getting pregnant!" I was so shocked. My eyes started welling up, as I was so teary, and with dads house and everything, I was a quivering wreck, and just said to him, "You are very rude.", but not in an angry way, more of an upset way, as I was very upset. And he said, "And your ignorant!"
I put ds in the car, and burst into tears. I was so upset. He really didnt have to be so nasty or personal. So when Id parked the car, I noticed he'd snapped my back windscreen wiper too!! The nasty old man!
I know they arnt all like that, but he was so nasty and bitter, there was really no need for it.
Anyway, rant over, I just needed to get it out of my system, because Im still so shocked that somebody could be so nasty to a complete stranger.
