Car parking spot stolen

11 replies

Someone stole my parking spot at Tesco today and I confronted them and they moved their car

They just ignored the fact we were trying to park and said I got it first. I normally just ignore this behaviour as I am not very controversial but i had enough today. Tables turned if I realised someone was waiting to park in a spot I tried to manoeuvre in I would go and find another spot no questions.

AIBU

I think more context is needed. Why was it your spot?

I was waiting to park there but had to wait for all the cars to go by before reversing in. As the last car went by and I started reversing, she started reversing too, she stopped and saw my car but carried on then said I got it first.

Well done for standing up for yourself. I’d love to do that but I always worry about how the driver or passenger (if they have one) would react verbally or worse if they jumped out of the car and had a weapon.

I have been exactly like this since driving 20 years now, and i don’t blame you it’s scary what people do. I probably won’t do it again.
