I just had the misfortune to meet some really horrible people down at the shopping centre car park. This town is known for the friendliness of people. I'm shocked.
I inadvertantly pinched a car parking space they were waiting for. I didn't see them and they were parked way back against the other kerb, so it wasn't even obvious. They had their indicator going, but it could have been on to pull out into the drive through. I knew they were there, but it wasn't obvious they wanted the car park.
As soon as I opened my door to get out I was accosted by this woman, shouting IN MY FACE that I had pinched their car park and didn't I know what indicators were for, you stupid bitch, etc, etc. I calmly tried to explain to her that I wasn't aware of what I had done and I would move the car, but she was too busy screaming at me to listen - on and on she went.
So, by this time I was getting really annoyed, so yelled back over the top of her, so she could hear me above herself, and told her I had been about to move the car, but I wouldn't now that she was abusing me. She still kept on keeping on. Then her husband joined in and started yelling at me, telling me I was just making excuses now. And so it continued. By this time, everyone in the car park was watching and I was so embarrassed.
I smiled, said have a nice day and walked off. They were both still screaming at me as I walked away. Great start to my day. Really wanted a smoke after that.
