Drove into a public car park in Broadway yesterday, wife and son in car. 60 minutes free parking.
All spaces full so turned around to drive out. As I turned a car was reversing out of a space so I stood by to drive in. No other cars waiting.
A young woman in her late 20's with baby on back approaches my car, as if to speak to me. I wind the window down...
She says "Would it be OK if I steal this space? My husband's just gone to get the car."
I said "No, I'm just about to park there right now."
She said "How rude, my husband is only a few minutes away."
I said "Oh, I'm here now and need to park now,"
She said "I can't believe how rude you're being" and walked into the front of the space, now empty, so as to block my car.
She got on her phone.
We waited, I switched my engine off. Another car couldn't have passed mine into the space. A stand off.
Still blocking she shouted "I have a baby too!"
I replied "Yes, it's on your back."
My wife got out and explained she'd just been to hospital with a sprained ankle and the woman should be more considerate to other people's needs.
The woman said "go and find a disabled space then." My wife explained she doesn't have a blue badge. It was after a fall when out walking.
She still stood there. blocking.
After 5 minutes the husband arrived in his car. She reluctantly moved aside as another space came free, muttering "Thank you so much, hope you have a lovely way" in a sarcastic way.
My son said "Entitled bi**h!!
We parked.
