To think this man was a wanker?

I'm very pissed off. Was driving down my narrow one way street in my big mercedes van and found a parking spot that was big enough. It takes a while to park my van at the best of times, nothing to do with skill but on a narrow road with cars down each side you have to do it in two goes so as not to touch the parked cars. Anyway. It's very snowy obviously and i had to park very slowly, or i would have skidded and probably hit a parked car or a person on the pavement. When i tucked myself in the twat who was waiting to get past gave me a sarcastic slow hand clap through the window. I am fuming about it. I literally could not have moved any faster without causing an accident and i have a perfect right to park on my street don't i? I know people have ishoos with van drivers but i'm not your typical am i? I usually get respect for being a female driver in a massive van and if i do say so myself i'm bloody good at driving it.

I hate it when people do things like this. How utterly rude and idiotic.
Well done for parking safely.

You know what, I consider myself a good driver, and I wouldn't attempt to park a van, let alone a big one. It's bloody hard work.

I went out tonight, it was like a bloody ice rink, i honestly couldn't stop at a roundabout, skidding down the hill.

People were being right idiots tonight, pulling out without looking, reversing out before they could see, and drving without lights. I was glad to get back indoors!

Don't let him get to you, you knew you were doing the right thing. He WILl end up in a hedge. karma dictates it!

I drive a massive renault master van and hate it when people don't allow me enough time to park.
