Instance 1;
Waiting for a lady to re allign her car in a parking spot before parking in the spot next to her at Tescos, I notice the woman on the other side wanting to get in her car with her daughter. Her drivers door is next to my space, so I wave at her to come forward from the boot area so she can jump in with no hassel. She looks at me blankly. Then moves backwards to the rear of the car. So I move forwards into the space, park up and she then walks towards her door, looks at the (minimal) gap between her fat ****, and the two cars and gives me a "thanks for nothing!" look????!!! WTF?? Did I not signal clearly enough, waving my arms in a manner that could only be taken as "go ahead"???

Waiting to pay for petrol in same Tescos (running on empty and Shell was miles away!). Two lines, two cashiers, one manager peering over both cashiers. One guy infront of me, three in the next queue. Both front customers pay and move off and as I walk towards the cashier the manager leans over and puts an "out of order" sign on the window, says nothing and then starts talking to the cashier (clearly a trainee). WTF part deux?? Ask politely if I am invisible, to which I get an embarrassed grumble, ask him if it would have taken any effort to mention he was closing that till and could I please move to the other queue, then rejoin the now six person long queue!! Not a word of an apology!!

Parking in Cannon Hill carpark in Birmingham at the weekend to go visit the new Arts Centre that has reopened (MAC centre), pull up in a very full car park and notice two guys walking towards their car. Both dangling keys they walk up to an Audi a6 avant unlock the doors and open them. I wind the window down, waiting to park, and ask "hi chaps, are you heading off i.e. can I take that spot".
The reply from the first moron was "no". The second then followed this with "why?".
Why do you think you monkey!! I don't just drive round car parks seeing if people are leaving spots so I can make a note and count how many happened during that weekend!!!
