Cannot believe what just happened....
Discussion
You know when something happens that you can't quite process at the time it happens, and you can only do so after the event when you've had time to look back on it?
I was sat in the car this evening outside our local GP practice, waiting for Lady BS30. Parked normally in a parking bay, minding my own business when I hear a thud.
Look round and see that what can only be described as an absolute slug of a human being (female, just about), who has just whacked her car door into mine without a second thought. She then starts to walk away without so much as a backwards glance, presumably thinking I wasn't in my car (or just not caring).
So I unwind the window and call 'Excuse me'. When she turns round, I then say 'could you please be a bit careful with your doors', to which she replies 'f**k you, you stuck up brat'.
Well, aren't you a treat.
So I get out of the car and ask her in what possible universe she thinks that's acceptable, to which I get an equally remarkable 'do you want your f**king lights punched out?'.
All this time, husband (who was the driver) hasn't said a word. Either he was absolutely mortified beyond words, or (more likely) is so used to living with a thoroughly vile human being that he's resigned to his spineless fate.
Either way, I didn't really know what else to do other than take a photo of their car in the hope that I can find out their details and exact some childish revenge.
A real 'WTF' moment. I'm still gobsmacked by the entire encounter to be honest. I reckon you could have the same thing happen 1,000 times and not get a reaction like that.
ETA - all suggestions most welcome about how to right this gross injustice
ETA II - This woman was aged around 50, I should add. Not some chavvy teenager. It was remarkable.

Any damage to your car?
If so, report to insurance. Report her to police and the practice.
Probably not much will come of it but at least you'll feel better and she'll be on record if she ever does it again (you could be the lucky one and she's done it before!)
Good luck!
Too dark (and car too dirty) to really tell. It wasn't a massively forceful smack, so I doubt anything of any significance. Not the point though, really! Had she said 'oh I'm so sorry, it was an accident' then I'd have probably not even bothered to get out of the car to look. If so, report to insurance. Report her to police and the practice.

Just can't believe the lack of respect for others that some people have.

Disgusting behaviour. Hopefully the only damage done was the offense she caused to you and none to your car. Who knows,maybe karma will exact a fitting back handed experience for her to think on.
Hopefully. She left her window ajar, and I really needed a wee. If it wasn't for the fact that the car park was undoubtedly under CCTV I might have done something unpleasant 
some people ay...i once witnessed in a morrisons a 40 something lady get out of a car and slam the door into a young lads car, i heard her say get over it its only a car! to which said young lad repeatedly opened his door slamming into the side of her car, she had the cheek to shout you cannot do that to me car! his final words before departing in a cloud of wheelspin smoke ...its only a car love! made my day!

Quality! I think you should treat it as am accident. You should've taken pics of the cars, asked for insurance details. If refused then inform the police, additionally there is the matter of threatening behaviour.
At the least she will get a knock on the door and insurance will be affected.
I don't know if that would teach her, probably not but you'd get a lot of satisfaction.

I hate the "it's only a car" line that gets trotted out in these circumstances. I would go and burn their house to the ground (whilst they are not in) and wait for them to come home, when confronted I would just shrug my shoulders and say "it's only a house". f
kers. Scum like this are endemic of the general population nowadays and it just shows the lack of respect people have for anything or anyone. I genuinely worry for the future of my children who I strive in every way to bring up correctly and respect property and people.

Hard-faced liars.
Such as the "lady" who drove straight into the back of my car this morning as she tried to randomly tried to place hers in the space next to me.
She clearly hadn't realised that I was actually in the car as she had about two more goes to get past by simply revving her car harder without actually realising that mine wasn't going to get out of the way.
Finally she backed up and managed to get into the space. I got out as she emerged in a cloud of cigarette smoke whilst still holding her phone to her ear mid-conversation.
Me: "Excuse me, did you not notice you bumped into me?"
Her: "Did I f*** bump you"
Me: "I was sitting in the car, you shunted me forwards then tried to push me out of the way. There is a dent here in my bumper and a scrape on yours"
Her: "Look, I'm on the phone here. If you think I hit you, f***ing prove it"
With that, she staggered off, fag in one hand, phone in the other, grinning all over her make-up-applied-at-clown-school-with-blunderbussed face.
As a PHer I of coursequickly applied a takedown followed by a short but satisfying burst of ground and pound. I then slashed all of her tyres and relieved myself over the dashboard took photos of the incident and have requested copies of the CCTV from a nearby shop.
The lesson, as ever, is clear. Don't, under any circumstances, give the general public any chance to get within 100 feet of you.
I don't suppose this was an older 5-series in the Chester area was it? If so, I'm a little disappointed on your behalf as her knees were supposed have have been broken yesterday. Then again, maybe that's why she was at A&E?Such as the "lady" who drove straight into the back of my car this morning as she tried to randomly tried to place hers in the space next to me.

Having spoken to people about doing this a few time I reckon you're wrong - at least 50% of people respond in a broadly similar way.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
