To think she should have apologised?

Out for dinner tonight and went to leave and my car has been blocked in. No note or anything. So go back in and have to ask the waitress for help looking for whoever it is. Finally found the woman, she takes ages to come out to move the car and not even so much as a cursory ooh sorry I'll just move it.

Yes, obviously she should. But it’s not worth spending any time worrying about what a complete stranger should or shouldn’t have done. She didn’t and there’s nothing that will change now. Just let it go.

Depends if you were actually blocked in or just not able to confidently get out. I wouldn't apologise if asked to move a car because someone couldn't drive.

She'd completely blocked me in.

I would still apologise if my actions made it hard for someone to get out but in this case she had made it impossible.

Then yes, she absolutely should've apologised. But if she cared she wouldn't have boxed you in so not surprising.

I would have been very cross!
