How RUDE

[daydream**believer]

Got ready early this morning so i could drop the kids at school and head to Westfield before it got too hot.

Got a great park at the shops.

Got everything done that i needed to and when i get back to my car, some ratbag has parked in a non car spot right behind me, blocking me in.

I rummage through my bag looking for a pen to write down her licence plate so i can report her to westfield. No pen.

I look for my phone, find it. Phone is not charged (nothing unusual for me).

So i stand and wait and wait and wait and just as im about to leave and go find center management, this lady runs to the car yelling "Sorry Sorry".
I say "You are a rude, inconsiderate *female dog*. I was just about to go report you. This is not a car park and your selfishness has kept me waiting here with my baby."

She says "I was only 5 minutes".

I say "Actually, it has been 9 minutes since i got here, so who knows how long you were before that".

She then gets in the car and drives off.
X-(  some people are so inconsiderate and rude.

And there were plenty of other car spaces left that she could have parked in

You were obviously frustrated ..... apart from being blocked in -  rushing to beat the heat, shopping with a baby, no pen, phone not charged, she came back before you could report her.  All of these things added to your mood which caused you to react like that.

Who knows what caused her to be so inconsiderate - not being in her shoes and thankful for that I would have just got on with my day without letting it impact further on me.

hi mtnlane- it didnt impact me at all.

But i got home, switched on CS and saw 13 political threads on page 1 and thought....well this place is dull so lets stir up some differing opinions by posting what happened to me at westfield.

Thats all. Simple really....and it worked

[**meep**]

I don't think a "pushover" is someone who refrains from insulting people regardless of the situation.

You insulted her after she apologised?

[mtnlane]

It obviously did impact on you as you held onto it when you came onto CS ... and caused you to react again :^O

When people disagreed with you ... you reacted again :^O

Simple really 😉

ok, well i dont switch things off in my head after i have done them.

I was well over this incident after the woman drove off and i was loading bub in the car, but it was still in my mind. Enough so that when i got home, i thought i'd post about it on here to liven this place up

Responding to posts on here is how this place works.

"I would like to hear what those who disagree with what i said would have done in this situation."

I have been in a similar situation.  I have been "parked in" on more than one occasion.   Never felt the need for insults. 

1 I think its unnecessary and it doesn't solve anything 

2 You never know who you are dealing with, why risk an ugly confrontation?

I think the solution would be to wait a 'reasonable' time and then, as you said report it, or both.

[**meep**]

I don't see anything wrong with starting a thread about it, I just see a problem with the way you handled the situation.  JMO

[**meep**]
