Supermarket carpark rage

[Cotswoldmum70]

Just popped to my local Waitrose to restock on the Belgian biscuits (half price!). As I drove in I spotted a nice convenient parking space outside the front of the store and pulled in, only vaguely aware of a vehicle approaching from my right. As I pulled in to park, the driver of the car, a 60 something blonde, started gesticulating and waving out of her window. I got out, saw that the car park was half empty so load of spaces for her. As I walked into the shop she shouted that I was a selfish bitch and worse!! In the store I saw her in the aisle and mentioned that I didn’t appreciate being sworn at by a total stranger. She repeated that I was a selfish bitch and threatened to punch me. At that point I realised I was on to a loser and went home. She’d left a note on my windscreen for good measure, again calling me a selfish bitch. I actually think she would have punched me if I hadn’t walked away. 2 questions - am I a selfish bitch? Genuinely didn’t see her and car park was half empty. Should I have reported her to the store manager or are threats of violence a factor of modern life that we all have to accept?

This thread is bonkers! Entertaining though.

I can't believe so many responders saying they agree with the blonde 60 something effing and jeffing and threatening violence! The woman sounds deranged and too angry to be behind the wheel of car. Even if OP had blatantly stolen the space she was waiting for there were, apparently, plenty of other spaces and her response was unhinged. The blonde would have been in her right to point out that OP had pinched her space and maybe she should be more aware of her surroundings and others in the car park, and the OP should have apologised.

Sort of coppery brunette/auburn if you like, early 40's.

Chance of a kicking in Waitrose car park 2/10. Chance of a kicking in Lidl car park 9/10. Best off shopping at Waitrose although it does sound like some unsavoury characters were there today 🤔

A woman put a curse on me once because I complained about the service in her shop. I am yet waiting for the terrible thing to happen. Maybe she's just diverted the large lottery win that was coming my way??

So you did see her??

I’m getting a sneaking suspicion that you are the same lady who was bought those creepy Bookends??? The blonde, the curse. It’s all a feeling the same 🤔

Oh those bookend were weird.

Stop overthinking it. It’s detail and nothing more - just like being told OP went to Waitrose to buy Belgian biscuits. Not necessary but adds interest and detail.

I never shop at Waitrose for this reason. Too many people with attitudes.

I remember being screamed at once because I took two discounted yellow ticket items and when I offered the woman one of them, she continued screaming at me saying I looked like I needed it more than her and who the hell did I think I was!

Not to me, it doesn’t. HTH 🤷‍♀️

Did you at least get your biscuits @Cotswoldmum70 ?

We need the diagram!

You can't really have a queuing system in a car park as people go round different ways and round and round again.

😂😂

Not what she said😂

The same type of person who bothers to read the thread and add multiple posts

Nope

Rude!

Oh god! But does put things into perspective.

Agree that poster was super rude. They clearly did not get manners for Christmas. Ignore the hate you did nothing wrong. I swear some people get kicks out of making people feel like rubbish on this forum.

No - the cat was mercifully not mixed up in this drama!

The last olive roll!

she was lucky to get out alive. The new long skinny ones aren't as good as the old roll shaped ones. So that might have helped her cause... maybe.

No shame here. Just baffled. I expect blonde lady may feel a little ashamed of her reaction. But then maybe I’m old fashioned.

Like you didn't smirk at her all the way round the supermarket.

Yes thanks. And they are delicious.

Oh for goodness sake.
