Went on a post bank holiday shopping trip for the Mrs this morning and experienced a shocking bout of 'Parking Rage'. I entered the local shopping centre multi story, car park and started the usual hunt for a space. Not being officially 'disabled' and, therefore, not entitled to a disabled sticker, I can't park in the appropriate bays but, because I have trouble walking uphill (and ninety percent of the parking area is on a ramp so you either have to walk up or down to get to a doorway to the shops) I like to park as close to the entrance as possible. A task not very difficult today, as there wasn't much traffic about. I digress! (as I always do). Anyway, I spotted a place, on my left, and pulled over into the down lane, at an angle, preparing to back into the spot. Now, I did think that, judging by the angle of my car, the fact that my left indicator was blinking and my reversing light was lit that it would be obvious of my intent. Imagine then my shock, horror, rage when some ignorant, f***ing, GIRL racer type, dived into the spot I was reversing into. When I remonstrated with her, she replied "Tough luck grandad (which I f***ing am not!) first come, first served". To further add insult to injury, she had driven passed two slots further down the ramp to get to the one I wanted and when I pointed this out to her, she just shrugged! and pranced off. I swear, if she had been a man, I would have decked the twatt. As it was, I almost burst a blood vessel and had to sit down in my car for ten minutes to calm down. I am still seething, somewhat, as I write this. I really do think I am Victor Meldrew personified.
