Feel bad for snapping

[TexasTyson]

I'm so sort tempered sometimes and I really don't like it about myself.

Today I was on the school run. I'd parked with my front wheels slightly over a dropped kerb. I didn't really notice to be honest, the pavements around the school are in poor condition.

Anyway, I forgot my coat and it started raining heavily so me and my niece were rushing ti get in the car. As we were doing so a man approached me and asked if it was my car. I said yes. He said "that's a dropped kerb you can't park there" I said "ok" but didn't stop what I was doing as I was getting soaked. He said "I'm being polite, can you come over here and talk to me, and look at where you've parked" I said "not at the minute, it's raining I need to get her in the car" he then said something else (can't remember what) and ti be honest, I snapped. I said "look, I don't care, leave me alone" this obviously made him angry and he ended up calling me a stupid bitch.

I'm annoyed with myself. I could have come to look and apologised etc but I just wanted to get in the car. As soon as I drove away I felt guilty for being rude. I did back up and check ans d he was right, my wheels were partly over the kerb. If I'd just spoken to him it would have been more pleasant for both of us. I don't know why I'm so snappy. 😕

No, it's outrageous that they called you a stupid bitch, that's not on.

I'm not a fan of the word, but I was rude first. I'd acknowledged him but not really given him attention. And I was in the wrong, I was parked badly.

You were rude and he was ruder. Next time just spare a minute and until then don't beat yourself up over it it's done now x

Oh, who cares OP. He sounds like a prick.

I don't think you were out of order to tell him to sod off in that exchange tbh. He sounds like a bit of a dick expecting you to stop what you were doing so he could chastise properly you about your parking in the rain.

You might well be a short tempered bitch, but alternatively you might just not have the energy to indulge idiots. Either way you sound like someone i might rather like, so I'd stop worrying about it too much!

He told you about the kerb and you acknowledged it, I'm not sure what he wanted, unless he did just want to tell you off like a child. He was being an arse.

What was he wanting, blood? I seriously doubt he'd have been so keen to play the big guy if you'd been a man, and I'm also certain he wouldn't have been quite so free with the insults either. Forget about it, and him. Twat.

Unless he's the curb police I think he can p off

Don't even get me started on his language
