carpark rage

The other day I was parking my car when another lady forced her way into my spot. I let it go but I wondered if she did this alot. Then yesterday there were two women fighting. To my suprise, it was the same lady who stole my spot about a week ago but she picked the wrong person this time. The whole thing turned into a cat fight and the police were called. Is it really worth trying to push your way through or just to have a bit of patience and wait. The same thing happens on our roads. If more people just had a bit more patience and courtesy things would be alot better

Fully agree that this person ended up getting what they deserved, i usually don't have this problem as my vehicle is quite intimidating being larger, the best option i find is park further away, let them have the close spots and i get some extra exercise from the walk.

what a funny story.would of have loved to have seen this.I thing parking spaces in shopping centres are terrible and always seem to cause a problem with people waiting to drive into them and someone else wanting the same spot

OMG, the same thing happened to me but I was already half turned into the bay when this lady tried to pull into me. She stopped behind me with her hands in the air as to say what are you doing. There is no need to behave this way and some people need to learn patience.

It's just common courtesy - if you see someone waiting for a carpark you don't just go and jump in there first because you think you are going to get away with it! Do these same people push themselves in front of others at the supermarket checkout line? Do they whip a chair out from under you as you are about to sit down at your kid's school concert? It's just rudeness and thinking they are better and deserve better than you.

HI Lynstar007, this has happened to me a few times and it gets my temper up,I can honestly see why there is road rage, people (some people ) are just so rude, no manners at all, its just deserts that this woman got into a cat fight with someone as pushy and rude as herself or just mayb4 that other person stands up for themselves,.
It makes me kind of anxious when driving on the F3 express way, SO RUDE

The people who are pushy and rude with this tend to be like that in all aspects of their lives....

I can never understand why people are always in such a hurry. Why is it so important to be dashing around all the time. Take some time out to smell the roses.

you get this disgusting behavior everywhere these days , I just keep going and that usually assures them i will willingly drive right into them if they keep going .

I was pulling in to a parking spot yesterday and had my right blinker on waiting for the car in the spot to reverse out and leave and this d,head came flying up on my right side and flew into the spot, I couldn't believe what I was seeing! I'm not an aggresive person but just had to get out and say something! he moved out and let me in and he would have been about 80!!

Quite a few years ago I was turning into a parking space in a shopping centre, when a young fellow raced up in his car and tried to pull into the spot before me. He started waving his arms and mouthing off at me. My son who is 6'4" tall and who at the time was long haired and bearded, was bending down in the front seat tying his shoelaces, sat up. The other driver then backed out and reversed away. I wondered if he would have done this if my son wasn't with me.

Yes some people are so rude with parking spaces. I have seen them a lot but I just let it go, no use getting into fights. I always say {o well they need it more than me. } They have no patience.
