Mother & Baby parking (again)
I know we all get wound up when people unjustifiably park in the mother & baby spaces but has anyone got real dirty looks from people when you have parked rightly?
Grrrr, I was so angry today as I nipped to Sainsburys and luckily just as I arrived there was a m&b space directly outside the entrance so I whipped in. Anyway, I may as well have been driving Santa's sleigh judging from the looks people were giving me!! One old couple actually stopped and stood rubber necking me shaking their heads in dissaproval. They obviously thought I had no lo seeing as the back windows are tinted black so you can't see in.
Now I am normally very mild mannered (lol) but I just saw red so couldn't jump out of the car fast enough to yell 'YES?, I have a fricking baby you know!!!'
I then promptly pulled kade from the back seat holding him up as far as poss like a trophy lol.
Needless to say they just walked off without a word lol.
Just winds me up! I know people take the piss by parking when they are not supposed to but I never do that ever, so it just realy annoyed me! Just had to tell

Good on you Louise for speaking your mind. People are so pig headed and judgmental.
Tigerlily - I am one of the able bodied people who use a lift - I have a severe phobia of escalators and cannot travel on them. Saying that, if stairs are available I do use them and will let people with pushchairs and wheelchairs get in first.
ANNOYING for sure!
We once had a woman have a go at us for parking close to asda. We werent even in a P&C space (before we had lo). She shouted at us that we should have let her have that space cos she has kids!?!?!? Well she should have got to the supermarket earlier then. Im not sure if she was expecting us to go ok and move the car?
We were in Sainsburys last night, luckily we got the last free space, but while we were parking 3 people came back to their cars in P&C spaces - not one fo them had children. All 3 were women as well so should have known better! GRRRR did I glare at them?!
this bloke came up to me and said i was going to go in there you b***h! i was like what the f**k!!
He didn't even have a child with him so why was he been so rude in front of my daughter! some people do not have manner's at all, i was so angry at the man i was stomping round asda.
why can't prople just park in a mormal parking space? alot of the parking spaces are near the entrance!!
HOWEVER!! ...
recently I went shopping and took my LO & my mum & auntie my mum has not long broken her arm and my aunt is recovering from a broken leg, Charlie is hugh and heavy.. and we had to do shopping and to get my big buggy out!
1 spot left in P&B but plenty others.. and a stupid man went and drove in .. in a people carrier and 3 blokes got out.. walking into the supermarket talking about how good it was they got a close space because the amount of beer they were about to buy!
lol I saw red!
I pulled my car up right next to his & shouted opened my window and shouted at the top of my voice!
' WHERE IS YOUR BABY?!!!' he sort of looked at me and looked away..
I BEEEEPED my horn and shouted 'WHERE IS YOUR BABY???!!'
*people were looking*
He said 'my wife is coming out now to me in a min with our baby' at which I said really loudly 'FINE I'LL WAIT HERE TO MAKE SURE!' about a min later I got out of my car.. walked over to the sign dialled the number on the yellow sign (it didnt go thru don't think I put the right number in i was so angry!! :lol and pretended to talk (thank got my phone didnt ring in my ear!) I read out his liecence plate really loudly facing his car so he could read my lips.. he looked a bit worried and made a phone call..
I got in my car and moved it! parked in a tight spot we had troble getting out of!
I passed his car sweetly smiling.. seeing him still looking a bit worried & his mates coming out with the beer!
Maybe a bit OTT on my part think I was due on but I bet he will think twice about parking somewhere like that again without having the right too! & hopefully he'll be a bit worried that his car will get a ticket in the post!
it also drives me mad when ppl wich older children take up the spaces. there really is no need for it, i think in tescos there parking is for kids under 3 and morisons under 5. but ppl seem to think they are justified because they have there 12 year old kids with them.
whats next a 30 year old saying its ok cause she is with her mum and she is her mothers chid
also gets to me wen parents park in baby and parents spaces and there children are older and can walk etc on there own like 13 yrs of age.
yeah i thought it was pretty funny when i had thought about it afterwards as well! x
I would like to forget about it now, cos this is just adding to her sick games hun.
Sorry if i made you at all think it was you.
