Parking space, what would you have done?

Toryglen-boy · 26 Nov 2006 at 23:10

So there i was, going to Tesco's doing the usual, of driving round the first loop of car spaces closest to Tesoc's as everyone does, coz its nearest to the supermarket, and its raining. People are doing the usual, driving round slowly, waiting for someone to reverse out, and people are being held up, while others park, and then you go back around again ... you know the thing.

So i see a car coming out, its the second last space before going back around the loop, i'm in front and its my space. Bear in mind that these car parks are all a one way system, so i am heading for this space, and this guy in his 50's drives into the car park, we are both about 20 feet away from the space, he drives straight into the one way, going the wrong way and heads for the space, i do to .. as its my shout. So he swerves into it, and parks, i get out the car and goes up to him

"**** off mate, thats my space, everyone has been queing for a space, and you drove the wrong way, down a one way system to get it. joing the ******* Que, like everyone else."

>flustered>"But i did"

"i just watched you drive into it, we ALL watched you drive into it"

"its only 2 car spaces over the give way sign"

"and that makes it right? we have all been queing, so should ******* you"

at which point i realised it was pointless, and just drew him stinkers and walked away ... soaking wet

i know, i know i should grow up

what would you have done?

R124 has the right idea but before that i would have hit him with my Bluetooth keyboard.

Seriously, he did wrong, beep your horn at him or something..........

Morba · 26 Nov 2006 at 23:17

in the time it took you to see him do what he did, you didnt actually park in that space?

i would have been in there like a rat up a drain pipe, before the old git had a chance

Clarkey · 26 Nov 2006 at 23:22

i'd have given him a prolonged horn honking and then moved along tbh.

Remove all four of his cyber dustcaps and release his virtual air before whacking him with handy wireless keyboard

Instead of swearing at an old man.... I'd have parked far away at the other end of the carpark

yeah sure you would :rolleyes:

he wasnt exactly old

Stellios · 26 Nov 2006 at 23:26

Park across the back of him

Otherwise, stop being a whimp, be a man and dont be afraid of a little water, and do what i do and park where theres spaces. You get washed in water daily i presume, so whats a bit rain gonna do to you.

And get clobbered by his matey baboons he's probably got in with him? - not worth it tbh.

Yup, whenever it is an old person I never get angry. A few times they've nearly killed me, but would I shout at them? heck no, they don't do it with the intention of killing me! I don't think he saw you or knew it was a one way, even if he did there are plenty more and plenty more idiots to pee you off.

I would have said something, then drove on and awaited another spot. If it was some chav or cocky idiot then that is another story, but old people..nono.

Take your rollyeyes away, I was having a larf, hence the

But seriously, I never park in the busy bit of a car park. If I did, I'd probably react by beeping at him but I wouldn't have got out of the car and started ****** and blinding at him. What did you achieve by doing it other than getting wet?

PS - I'd fully star out your naughty words before the mods catch you

Go to Halfrauds.

Buy a tyre valve key.

Use it on all 4 of his tyres and then park elsewhere in the car park, at a distance and venue you can still see from.

The end result is priceless. Done it a few times when something like this has happened to me.

Best bit is when you walk past them and casualy say "Thats awful m8, someone let yer tyres down??".

Personally, I park at the far end where no-one else parks. I don't care if it's raining or snowing, there's less chance of it being dinked

Sorry, I have to object to that.

Yes, it's annoying and a little bit of verbal abuse is understandable, but what you're suggesting is plain idiotic.

You're either a high level keyboard warrior or a prat.
