A lesson learnt for an angry old lady
Discussion
People are too self righteous here! Just chill.
My understanding is the OP temporarily parked on the disabled spot just to clean the poo and was going to move on to a different parking spot. The disabled people could waited a few minutes and understood situation as any civilised person. I wouldn’t have an issue with that, having experienced said poo I n my head it’s not nice and the quickest it’s cleaned the better.
Sure if you are not disabled you shouldn’t park there but he did so to not inconvenience any other traffic whilst cleaning the poo and was moving on afterwards. He is wrong to get back at the old lady should just dispose of the wipes in the bin.
The old lady although technically correct showed no sing of understanding or empathy and proceeded with self entitled remarks that were not necessary. Waiting a minute to park their car would have not armed anyone and the comment about the top down bla bla bla just sounds like chip in the shoulder that was unnecessary but it is the world we live on.
So for those with the knickers in a twist yes the op should have not ever stopped at the disabled space and certainly should just put the wipes on the bin. The old lady is completely right in wanting to park in the disabled spot as they have a blue badge, that gives her also entitlement to be a abnoxious and nasty not because of the blue badge but because she is old.
Seriously?! Can everyone get a grip and move on with life? OP stop being a child and just move on!

Why would you have wet wipes in your glovebox??
Why wouldn't you? I always keep some in the car for any clean up situations.CrgT16 said:

That's PH for you, one person puts the boot in and it opens the floodgates to the rest of the angry sheep. It's obvious the OP wasn't intending to park permanently in the space.Hopefully you put the wipes in a bin and left Yorkshire.
Two things here:
If you didn't someone else may have just thrown them around the place.
If you're parked in a disabled spot and asked to move so the correct people can get in then you move immediately, not at your own convenience.

Next time I'm flying economy I'm just going to sit in someone's first class seat. I mean, as long as I don't barge past them, what gives them any more right than me to sit in that seat.
That's an awful example, although I have actually given up my seat for a medical emergency (Return from Tunis, diverted to Rome in the 2000s). Perhaps that says more about me as a person...I'm not advocating parking in disabled bays to do your shopping.

ETA Oh and Fakenews is obviously Rats alt account, and I claim my free 5 PH points for noticing.
I'd imagine my candour is an inconvenience to your anticipated 'OP didn't expect this thread to go this way' nonsense which, by now, you had hoped would freewheel into forum consensus and final judgement. However, think about what you'd do in the same situation - hot day, bird crap in your partners hair (she/he is likely going mental) and one spot to stop in.No doubt some of you will have some kind of sixth-sense for alternative parking spots or your partner simply has a penchant for sitting in s
t. However, I suspect many of us would have done the same thing but with regard for the people who genuinely need the space (and the rest who have a blue badge...) when they arrive.fakenews said:

How do you and the OP get through life if you have to make such a song and dance about a minor mishap? Two people to clean a bit of bird sNo doubt some of you will have some kind of sixth-sense for alternative parking spots or your partner simply has a penchant for sitting in s

However, I suspect many of us would have done the same thing but with regard for the people who genuinely need the space (and the rest who have a blue badge...) when they arrive.t out of hair? “Going mental”? “Sitting in st”? “Hot day” (that’s a classic)?Do you have the Samaritans on speed-dial just in case your Hobnob falls into your tea? Get a grip snowflake!

in comes a Kia Sorrento with an old couple in ... the lady immediately jumps out and gives me an earful of "Are you parking there ? - are you disabled ? cos we are and we have a blue badge".
Sounds to me she went on immediate attack without checking the situation first. She could have been berating a disabled person who was entitled to park there. Why start in an angry and aggressive manner? What is wrong with a polite enquiry asking if they could park as they have a badge.
Nanook said:
What if I really need to do the shopping though. Like, there's no other spaces and I'm out of wet wipes?
What you're really saying is that it's acceptable under your conditions. You can park there for a bit if you feel you have a good enough excuse. You are not the arbiter of such thing though.
Wow, I bet you're one of those people who writes threatening notes to ambulance staff who dare park outside their homes? No doubt you're at your window now waiting for a minor parking infraction - it doesn't matter if it's a woman in labour, someone suffering seizure or a mother covered in child sick - in your mind there's a rule and, sod quality of life for all, you want it enforced. What you're really saying is that it's acceptable under your conditions. You can park there for a bit if you feel you have a good enough excuse. You are not the arbiter of such thing though.

You don't see the issue, and have no sympathy for a disabled person not being able to use the disabled space, then it seems that the problem is with you. .
He wasn't denying the couple the space, they just had to wait a litt. A temporary inconvenience, not something to get angry and aggressive about. CrgT16 said:

After all the above you've described, the obnoxious twunt then decided it was appropriate to come on here laughing about it, inviting us to applaud him and guess how he got his juvenile revenge on the old lady.
I don't know about anyone else, but that's the but that particularly annoys me.

They call AA.
AA discover wet wipes up exhaust.
CCTV shows Mr tt doing the deed and driving off in his Porsche.
Mr tt gets a knock on the door from BIB.
How you feeling now, Mr tt?

Not missing it at all. I agree, the OP coming here with this rubbish is childish and he is wrong but my point was also that perhaps we all should be more civilised in our behaviour towards others. According to the OP account neither was civilised and even if the OAP was right she shouldn’t have an inflammatory dig and should just move on, she got her parking space.After all the above you've described, the obnoxious twunt then decided it was appropriate to come on here laughing about it, inviting us to applaud him and guess how he got his juvenile revenge on the old lady.

The OP behaves like a child by not disposing the wipes properly and by coming her whining and seeking sympathy. Which quite rightly does not have. All in all no-story...
This thread is classic PH 
If the old biddy had any manners she would have waited for the OP to finish cleaning crap from his wife and move his car, especially considering he had explained the situation to her. Instead she behaves just like 90% of the posters here and rips into someone else with a combination of self-entitlement , jealousy and self-righteous "anger" because she can't instantly get her own way or is angry at everyone else because her own life hasn't turned out as well as his apparently has.
This said, there's still no reason for any sort of vigilante revenge.
So where did the wet-wipes end up?

Who was aggressive? The Granny?Or our OP, who is now claiming to have only left these s
tty tissues on the windscreen of said Granny?Just as a social experiment why don't you walk up to two people, be aggressive to one and polite to another. What do you think their responses would be?
