Parking when there are dogs around

[TheQuirkyMaker]

I was in our local park yesterday, talking to another dog owner, when an SUV swept in right beside us, halted, and reversed into a parking space. As it reversed, I slapped it on the roof. The driver jumped out, angry, and I think was ready to give me a slap. I said the car park was empty (it was, it serves about 200 cars) and he had no need to park next to us and potentially hit a dog. He said he was parking near the skate park for his children, and our dogs should be on a lead (they weren't). They are elderly, obedient little dogs, and don't need to be on a leash but they are little and could be hit by a car.
I told him to "F--- Off" and felt okay at the time but couldn't sleep last night for worrying who was in the right.
Was I the unreasonable one?

Yes, cats are property. You don't have to report hitting one with your vehicle because they are only semi-domesticated. This is also why you cannot force your neighbour to stop their cat using your flower beds as a toilet - because they can't, cats are semi-wild.

I thought your dog was off lead because you were just putting them in the back?

It’s as relevant as the type of car that the man you abused was driving!

She won't learn anything from it considering she admitted on another post that she felt no guilt at being caught out drink driving three times and she drives after drinking a bottle of vodka a day too. She doesn't care she just wanted Mumsnet to justify her shitty behaviour and it's backfiring on her

The irony is the OP has started another thread telling people to BE KIND

Ha! You’re right (obviously) 😳

After three drink driving convictions I'm amazed she's not banned for a VERY long time. Or maybe she is.

Loving the sheer arrogance of someone with three drink driving convictions criticising someone else's driving. Especially for the crime of, er, parking in an empty parking space in a public car park.

It’s a minimum 3 year ban after 2 convictions within 10 years.

Telling a stranger to "fuck off" in front of his children is unreasonable under any circumstances. You sound like an utter lunatic.

OP also says she has had countless parking tickets. So it's not as if she can claim any particular virtue with regard to her parking practices, either.

You were wrong to slap his car.
You were wrong to berate him for parking in an open space.
You were wrong to tell him to fuck off.
You were wrong for not having your dog on a lead if you were concerned about other cars being near her. It is not the responsibility of other people around you to take more care of your dog's safety than you.

You were generally unreasonable and unpleasant for no reason.

On him. The OP is a man,

Interesting theory, why do you say that?

What's the betting she's driving whilst banned & with no insurance?

Can’t find this thread - could you link please?

It's not a theory. He's said so in a previous post.
Link here

Can you screenshot an actual post?

It's a carpark, the man parked in a spot more suitable for his kids. He is entitled to do that. If a dog is in a carpark it should be on a lead, you where in the wrong

Have you got a link to it

No I can't but the post is on the link I provided. It's the third post at 11:01.

That thread is in AIBU and it's title is something about being kind to supermarket staff.

AT THE TIME HE PARKED. But he wouldn't want his children crossing a busy car park later- would he? THAT'S why he wanted to park near to where they were going.

Interesting!!

Oh my goodness!! TheQuirkyMaker really DOES have issues
@TheNightingalesStarling LObstersLass is right!! In that thread, OP does claim to be male!
In actual fact (I’m getting so confused here) does the OP ever state that they’re female?
