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?

You should have reported her, shed is clearly a totally unhinged witch bag and could well go and do it to someone else.

She sounds stressful. You were there first. Meanwhile in tesco car park I saw an elderly couple get a drive through space but half way into the front space realized a car was backing into that space. I witnessed the elderly couple reverse into the back space leaving the front space to the backing car. Both couples smiled at each other when they got out. I was sitting waiting for dh so enjoyed watching it.

I can totally see this happening at our Waitrose

The car park is always full of folk with cars bigger than they can manage and drive like Mr Magoo

Road markings mean nothing to these people and they always ALWAYS park nose first so when they reverse out it’s wild

Age and hair colour is irrelevant. The person concerned should be reported to the police and DVLA as they are unfit to be behind the wheel.

Nearest to the entrance perhaps. Or where they always like to park.

But I agree, it's quite odd.

The actually happened to us when we were in a queue of traffic approaching a tourist site, the car in front pulled into a space and we started to pull into the space next to it, the passenger jumped out and started waving his arms, indicating that we couldn't park there, he said he needed his family to be together so we needed to find somewhere else, not exactly as polite as that. I continued to move forward into the space and eventually he moved, we were then given a mouthful of abuse, obviously we were racists, he was an Asian man. I said No, I'm not but for people like you I could make an exception.
