What is the world coming to...

I really wanted to intervene but thought, what can I do...visions of me getting arrested for verbally assaulting a young woman went through my mind, so I did nothing, and had to stand next to my car and watch her rage at this poor old fella and his wife.

You're either an idiot and a coward, or just a coward.

Pick one, you're whats wrong with this world, you saw a problem and didn't do anything about it.

You don't even need to shout at the woman to intervene, and regardless, there's literally no difference between raising your voice or a man or a woman, nor can you be charged for verbal assault on some dippy bitch outside asda having a go at an old man.

That's not an answer to my question.

You work in Spain as an IT contractor, you spend £2000 on just a hifi system, how many bags of rice could you buy with £2000?

Don't crit me if you aren't a saint yourself ;)

Why would I want a load of rice? :D

You have no idea how much I give to charity, and you won't find out by looking at my previous posts LOL. Your arguement is rubbish anyway.

And don't insult my hifi pfff, it was closer to 10 grand.

Because I can't shout at women let alone hit them, I was brought up that women are to be respected at all times. I have let women hit me when I have been out on the **** before, nothing I can do back to them, just the way I am wired.

If this had been a bloke having a go then I would have intervened. But it wasn't so I didn't know what to do.

No but you could have tried to calm the situation down with reason and logic!
So not only does it appear that you are prejudice but you also come across as a bit of a coward!!
 
It's funny how the only two choices are to sit by and do absolutely nothing or to get arrested.

Surely a bit of common sense was all that was needed?

Was wondering this too. Why does doing something result in him headlocking a 'single mother'?
 
You should have stepped in, I wouldn't of been able to just sit there and watch it...That is why the world is going to **** no one takes action anymore they just stand there and watch...usually with a mobile phone in hand to video it.
 
My Nan depends on me to take her. She has worked hard all her life, no benefits, survived being bombed by Germans and paid all her dues. So she, rightly, thinks she has a right to shop at M&S instead of Asda where (ironically in this case) there are 6 disabled bays yet 30 parent bays.

However, she does still want the slither of independence she still has; she likes to shop alone.

She doesn't want to know about mobile phones so I don't know when she is ready, she is not confident in the lift on her own so I can't park on any higher levels.

It has been the case before, in the summer, where all of the disabled bays (there are only 3) were taken up by families with their children, I know this as you drive past them on the way up, and I have had to park on the top floor, walk her to the lift, down the lift and into the store, then wait outside for 45 mins until she is ready to come up again...because parents think that the disabled bays are theirs to use and not disabled people.

Anticonsciounse, what you are saying from your post is that parents should have more rights to park near a store than disabled people? What is wrong with you?
 
yep you don't stand and watch then go home and go on a forum or facebook like a lot of ppl do and rant. nothing gets done and these ppl carry on like it. i get naffed off with all the things ppl put on facebook about what the government do and what ppl do and how they've had enough then go back to their lives of doing arse all about it.step up and verbally abuse the stupid women for shouting at pensioners then walk away feeling better of yourself

Firstly abusing a woman would not make me feel better about myself, and secondly this is how you end up in handcuffs!

And even if you don't do it, all she has to say is that you did, or she felt you were threatening infront of her children, which makes you look bad. This is EXACTLY why I did nothing.

It's a 2 way street on that one you and the old couple could have said the same about her.
I have had to deal with angry parent's at work and as long as you are chilled out in how you come across 99% of the time they will agree with you and say sorry for being aggressive
 
Wanted to share, I wound my window down and continued to tell a woman tonight how her driving without due care and attention almost caused us an accident.

So alpha. Such big balls.
 
I think anyone in their right minds would not have intervened OP. This thread is a perfect example of how things backfire and you end up the bad guy ;). Well done for not getting involved.

In my experience some pensioners can be just as rude, vicious and cut throat as anyone else when it comes to finding a parking space in a over capacity designated vehicle multi-storey depository. No need for all this discriminatory ageism.

I suspect the real reason for the backlash here is because folk are sick to death of these sorts of threads in GD, thus most replies are clearly in jest.

As for the rest of you, stop cyber bullying the poor, big 6 foot man at the other end of the internet who already has such low self esteem that he cannot stand up to a woman. (Just kidding).

No one suggested restraining her, the least you could have done as a concerned citizen is to try and calm the situation.

If the police got involved, I'm sure the the elderly couple that you described would get more respect from the police and therefore defend your position based on your actions to help them out.

I am basing my reply on your OP, as I was not there, i cannot say anything else.

In this day and age of so called equality, whether it's a man or a woman laying into you, you have the right to defend yourself.

I only know of one Marks and Spencer in Truro, and one would assume you'd use the lemon quay carpark given its the closest one.

This carpark has and I quote :


Lemon Quay car park


Multi story car park, 395 spaces.
Disability Access - number of disabled spaces: 10 - 4 on first level and 6 on level 3


So there are a few more spaces, should you require one.
 
She goes for food, why would she want to park on level 3 and then walk down the carpark because some inconsiderant family decide that their kids need disabled spaces more than disabled people do?
