I'm disgusting too!!!

Firthuring 'Fatians' story of an old biddy calling him 'Disgusting' for a little disaplin...

I had some old codger having a go at me this morning!!!...

Not for smacking!... Noooooooooooo something even more trivial!...

I'll set the scene!...
My Car is parked behind a double gate next to my house, which I have to cross a pavement to get onto the road! (dropped cerb etc!!!)...

This morning I'd opened the Gates, and pulled the car forward, but I hadn't cleared the pathway, I was only going to be 2 minutes MAX closing/locking the gates and driving off!!.

Que Some old Codger on a bike (pushing it allong the path) first scowling at me, to which I nod to say 'Good Morning' only to be greeted by Mumbling and then "******* Disgusting Blocking the Pathway!, I have to walk into the road to get round your ******* Car!, Disgusting!"... To which I say "What did you say???..." I get a Repeated tyrade from the Gollum Lookalike... I absolutly explode (Can't repeat ANY of it or I'll get bnned!).

To this the old codger stops infront of my car blocking me from going anywhere and starts laying down the law!... that I should respect him "Blah Blah Blah!!!" I shout that "I'm only closing my gate!, Its 2 minutes of your life!, Plus the roads hardly Dangerouse!!!" its a small Very quiet close (especially at 7:45am)...

I was almost tempted to get in the car and drive over him!!...

All this while Mrs Simian is roling her eyes at me! (cheers Mrs S)...

The old codger then crosses the road... which he was going to do anyway, as theres an allyway he went down, so why have a go at me 'Blocking the Path' if he wants to be on the other side anyway! :rolleyes:

Is it This weather that makes Old people more beligerant or what!... I've seen more people having arguments with OAP's recently!!...

Roads are for bikes not alleyways unless designated

Some people can't help themself at having a winge. It is like those residential parking permits etc. You can park up for 5 minutes to post something in someones letterbox and guarantee someone is give you the evils for parking there.

Old people just like to moan, tell him you're "not interested" works everytime

Nix · 19 Jul 2006 at 09:23

With any luck the next cold snap will kill him off.

Exactly - it seems to become some old people's sole purpose in life once they retire ...

basmic · 19 Jul 2006 at 09:26

I'd have told him straight, and then some.

I'm with fatian but being old ...... against Simian; if the road is safe, put your car on it while you close your gates.

Sorry mate, but get with it. That was a litte on the sick side.
Parody ;p

You should meet the old codgers round here and their damn parking spaces.

"TWENTY YEARS I've lived here..."

:rolleyes:

So you parked on the pavement making the pedestrians walk in the road, and think that's ok :confused:

It would have only taken a couple of minutes of your life to get back in the car and pull it further forward.

Good point. Why didn't you park on the road? I thought pavements were for pedestians?

Stelly · 19 Jul 2006 at 09:47

I thought it was illegal to ride on paths unless designated??

But it's so much easier if the old guy walks round the car rather than having to get back in the car, start it up, move it, stop it then get out.

Because then you'd be blocking the road if any cars came. A pedestrian can walk into the road easier than a car going onto the pavement to get by.

Wait until you see him riding his bike down the street one day, run up alongside him and push a stick in his spokes. He won't do it again.

Yeah, easier for YOU!

But you said it was a very quiet road????? What if a car came and knocked the old bloke down????

I still don't see why this OAP (i assume?) should be forced to walk on the road because you can't be bothered to park your car properly.
