She wasn't waiting to cross. I moved my car out the space and as I was moving so slowly she decided to walk onto the road in front of the car. Waiting to cross and walking onto a road when cars are already moving towards you are two different things. 

Aye OK but you are a young man and she isn't, whatever the letter of the law as you see it, there is a way to behave that makes for a more civilised day

The growing popularity of the term "in my wheelhouse". I think it means "within my competence, my sphere of knowledge", but it irks me more than  it should. I had assumed that the metaphor was meant to describe a Para Handy-like character demonstrating his mastery of the Vital Spark. However, it may be even more annoying; Google suggests that it may originate from baseball and refers to a pitch within the batter's reach.

You should write to the government about this. Maybe try this guy.

Should have ploughed into her and said your accelerator got stuck.

Tbf given this thread is about petty things your story definitely belongs. You definitely showed her by yelling at her though.

And yes, I am one of those cvnts who walks slowly down the centre of supermarket car parks. You've reminded me why I love it so much. I'm going to BnQ later to buy garden canes. I'll make sure to carry them like I'm a tightrope walker too 😎.

Which BnQ and at what time? Asking for a friend...

Idiots that walk right in the middle of a supermarket car park, completely unaware of the fact there is a car behind them. Get on a path you fucking morons!!

I don't know the layout of the particular car park you're on about, but many are designed without a real thought for pedestrian movement, including drivers trying to get to their car. There's no way in this example to get to/from your car without walking on the road.

Not to mention the utter c***s who 'have to' park their SUV as close to the door as possible.  I always slowly meander in front of them.

Went to the garden centre on Saturday. Big spaces, lots of paths...but still people parked across multiple spaces.

As we walked in, one woman parked in 2 spaces. The wife just laughed at her, genuinely gutting herself. Pointing, the lot. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. The woman went back to her car, reversed out and found a new space.

There's still room for someone to walk and a car to pass though. I assume @philpy means the idiots who would quite happily walk near or on the white lines.

I'm with her , will not make any secret of laughing pointing or shaking my head at folk that have parked their cars like absolute fandans.

Late back to the thread, but I fail to see what is so wrong with a crispy streaky bacon roll, brown sauce, and a mug of tea. Streaky bacon isn’t crap stuff you should only use in cooking, surely that is what those wee lumpy ‘bacon lardon’ rectangle things are for.

Anyway, thinking about a nice crispy streaky bacon roll has just given me a lardon.

Ooh fcuking err Matron, where’s the Kenneth Williams gif.
