Sometimes, no matter how hard I try, I cannot imagine the thought process behind someone like this fools actions. We're supposed to be an intelligent species aren't we? Then why the fk do we never seem to come across the ones with any intelligence?

Anyway, I hope his fake tan stains his seats.

White and grey seem to attract the kn8bbers. Only last night someone in an S4/RS4 drove through a petrol station (Tesco in New Malden) like it was a F1 pitstop - actually between the filling stations at crazy speeds. After i filled up and left i noticed the same car (with fog lights on) behind me and he then overtook and undertook repeatedly in and out of traffic at some pretty impressive speeds .. won't be surprised to see him in this years Darwin nominees.

P.S. Just to add .. i was in my black Audi.

The woman is an arse.

Her husband is an arse.

The cameraman is an arse.

Why is the cameraman an arse?

Seems to me to be the busybody type. She parked badly but what, really, was the point filming it?

For the hard of thinking (not you) I previously stated that in my opinion all parties concerned were arses.

Maybe to make her think about how selfish she was being? She obviously realised she was in the wrong, hence the altercation.

Now she's an internet sensation because she parked badly and then panicked and handled the bloke filming her even worse.

Sure she's a twit but does she really deserve the (inter)national attention she'll get. Imagine if people filmed everything we've ever done wrong in a car, i'm sure there would be plenty of material to show.

Great. If it helps to stop people from acting like selfish, obnoxious s then what's the issue?

Because it has had the (no doubt unintended) consequence of making others act in exactly that manner. The backlash she has suffered far outweighs her offence, even though she is apparently an offensive person.

I'm in two minds about it.

I recognise it might make people moderate their behaviour but think it's unfair attention for doing something a bit stupid. I don't think she comes across as nasty or vicious just someone who has made a mistake and is panicking because she's being filmed.

Which happened precisely because it went viral. So if you dont want to be called a complete by a few thousand Mr Angry's whom you've never met, then best not act in such an obnoxiously ish manner.

They parked bloody stupidly and subsequently overreacted, but still, I think the retaliation, personally, is an overreaction on the 'net and the phone calls (if this actually has happened) are unfair.

Now they are not 'all' like this, obviously, but whenever i chance driving through any city and see an Audi I usually anticipate ish behavior, and that is often what I am often rewarded with. This aint a stereotype I am conforming to but a general observation of mine - over the last couple of decades of driving this is the latest 'type' on the road. The usual are - Pompous women with large sunglasses on barging through or parking like you see here or aggressive, spiky haired middle aged blokes, barging in, getting beeped - then - the attention drawn to their selfish y attitude get annoyed and proceed to get out of their cars and give it large only to back down when the other motorist retaliates.
Seen it more than times now than I would have liked, it is always the same top of the line Audis and I summaries these people completely; wardrobe at home with at least half a dozen bits by Prada - said spikey haircut done at Tony & Guy - ikea kitchen with two ovens installed that is never cooked in - can be found arguing loudly with a toff accent over a 30p fine their kid has clocked up in a library or refusing to pay for a book they lost - they buy their snotty kids iPhones when they are still in primary school - most of these people should get a kick up the arse. Whether the folks in the video conform to any of these is an unknown but I still like to pontificate.

I can see the point in filming some unbelievably tttish behavior and sticking it on youtube.

Could you now do a definitely-not-in-any-way-stereotyped character assassination of people who own cars from other manufacturers?

All she had to do was go "Oops, sorry, I was trying to get down there. You see, the workmen will let you in
for access. But that seems to have changed. And now I've made a mess of the traffic. Silly me."

>walk back to car, sheepish smile, apologetic wave to traffic<

And it would have been all smiles.

But no. She had to go off on one. I'm just surprised she didn't say "do you know who I am?"

Fair point I suppose.

We've all done stupid things - should we all suffer national humiliation ?

Having said that though - she could have held her hand up and apologised without getting all arsey?

You don't think she (or her joke of a bloke other half) comes across as nasty or vicious?

Ok.
