Back on the parking too close. Stopped at a Macdonalds yesterday. My wife got the food and we decided to eat in the car. A car pulls up on the passenger side so close that my wife remarked how is the driver going to get out. Door opens, banging against my passenger door and kept my eye on the woman opening back door on the same side to let her daughter out. Same again. I got out to check no damage to my doors. Asked what am I looking at and pointed out that she had made no attempt to be careful opening the doors and I was just checking that there was no damage.
Response was her shouting at me and that she had put her hand between her door and my car (100% not the case as I was watching the rear door via my wing mirror plus she had a cigarette in one hand). The shouting put my (autistic) daughter into meltdown.
Fortunately, no obvious damage done, but I decided to take a photo after she had entered the restaurant just in case and also because her behaviour had pissed me off. Just getting in the car to drive off and a driver pulls up near to me and asking what’s the problem and why I was taking a picture including his sisters car (yes she had called her brother!). Explained that no obvious damage, but taking a picture because she had annoyed me - he seemed ok with that.
Drove out and stopped at traffic lights 50 yards away. The woman comes running up the road, tries opening the passenger door and hammers on the passenger window screaming why did you take a photo. Daughter has another meltdown, but fortunately the lights changed fairly quickly and was able to drive off.
Must admit was a bit shaken up by that.
