Had an interesting start to the morning today. I got up nice and early as I was having a bed delivered. A friend of mine is currently staying with me and he parked his car opposite our next door neighbours house so the delivery van could park directly outside my house.
The van turned up and the delivery men started to put the bed together etc, during this time I was defrosting my car outside/chatting to the lady next door when one of the people further down the road decided to make the biggest fuss ever. She was driving a little Corsa and decided the gap in-between the van and my friends car was too small.
She started to kick off at him f'ing and blinding telling him to move his car back. He tried to explain that the gap was huge and that everyone else that had been/gone had no issue getting through including a huge Mercedes estate. He said he would guide her through if she was worried about hitting something but apparently this wasn't good enough. I am guessing her husband/boyfriend in the passenger seat had enough and got out the car (this is when I thought it was going to get ugly), instead he just asked nicely for him to move his car back slightly, which he did.
She then pulled up next to him screaming at him that he has parked his car too close to the corner and that people speeding round the corner will crash into him etc etc (he was parked 3-4 car lengths from the corner and on the opposite side of the road
, that and the road is a cul-de-sac and ends just around the corner). Once she finished her little rant she then went off wheels spinning on the icy road 
I have included a badly drawn picture of the scene
I really don't understand how people like this manage to drive day in day out without knowing the size of their car
I still have no idea why all of a sudden she just started screaming at him, she didn't even attempt to talk to my friend nicely. I always thought they were fine, always nice and polite every time I saw them
