Smoking or smugging?

Perhaps she has the same car as you and is trying to sell it - yours being in better condition than hers.

She was most likely attempting to steal your car's soul - It's not an Alfa is it?

I was parked in a residential street and stood outside my car on the phone with the passenger door open.
Old guy comes round the corner in his car. Gets out and takes a photo of me stood next to my car. So I hang the call up immediately and take a photo back!
He went crazy, jumped in his car and drove off mouthing off.. I didn't ever say a word to him! lol Photo wars! Watch out, my lens is longer than yours...

GC8 said: Asking is perfectly reasonable. I think that's what OP meant. He might have used the word 'confront', but I didn't infer any resort to shouting or physical violence. You cynic, you People are odd, though. I remember when we were younger, we didn't have much money. So in the summer holidays, mum used to take me and my brother to her workplace and we'd sit in the car and read books, go to the shop and buy sweets, and generally have a great time playing in the village. One time, an older man came up to the car and took down the registration, tutted, and walked off... Wait. Older man. Children. Aw, f  k.

A girl once took a couple of snaps of my monaro on her phone in an asda car park when I had stepped in for some late night bits. She looked pretty flustered when she realised the guy coming over owned it. I wasn't bothered, just a bit of a strange experience.

Lay off the OP people, blimey. Yes, it has no adverse results to him but even so, a weird experience and one that I would question also!
Perhaps it was a dogging layby, and she thought you were part of the scene?

People in rural areas are always trying to get laybys closed. There's just been a big court case about one (the locals lost). I only learnt recently just how prevelant this behaviour was. Living in a part of London where it is common to see a married man taking his dog for a walk up to the heath at midnight I guess I shouldn't have been all that surprised. I drive past the big A40 layby as you get to the Oxford ringroad most weekends and I learnt recently from a neighbour who'd been chatting to the burger vendor there that not only was this layby one of the most famous in the area for trucker satisfaction but because there is another one on the other side of the road you apparently park in one depending on whether you are sponge or stone!!!!! (the conversation was instigated as it was about 6am and they noticed a half naked bloke in fishnets leaving the toilet block). Locals then drive along in their family car once the kids are alseep and 'handle' the truckers needs or are serviced by other lone motorists. Chances are the OP had pulled in and was displaying all the correct calling signals for being serviced and the local was collecting evidence. Although cases are probably lost when the locals fail to research beforehand which layby is the favourite of the judge/magistrate.

Next time, ram the car in to reverse, and slam it in to her car. Then she'll have a real reason to take pictures.

Last time I took a pic of a car in a layby the owner came running over, jumped in and went screaching off down the road. It was a swirly stickerd Aston up near Gaydon mind.
Anyway, back on subject, it could be any number of things, she might have taken offence to something you did, or equaly you don't own a car in an odd colour or an odd car do you? It's always possible up there that she thought it made a cool pic, someone stood by there car in a loanly spot smoking a fag. As they say round those parts, there's nowt as queer as folk.
