A lesson learnt for an angry old lady
Discussion
Took the Porsche out for a mini break the last couple of days - yesterday we travelled from Pocklington to Goathland (TV programme Heartbeat was set there) where we had lunch at the Mallyan Spout Hotel (spotted a blue roadster in the car park), on to Whitby, then down the coast road to Robin Hood's Bay, Scarborough and Filey.
Lovely weather so top down and just pulling into the car park at the bottom off Robin Hood's Bay when the wife discovered a Seagull incident ... the bird had unloaded on the top of my wife's head (she's blonde) and the dregs I discovered were on the back of the car ... only a disabled space left so I parked half i the bay leaving space for other cars to get round.
So there I am doing the hairdresser/cleaner job on wifey's head using wet wipes which I keep in the glove box when in comes a Kia Sorrento with an old couple in ... the lady immeadiately jumps out and gives me an earful of "Are you parking there ? - are you disabled ? cos we are and we have a blue badge".
I explain what has happened and ask for a couple of minutes to tidy the wife up before I move my car to allow them to park. So I eventually move the car and I continue with the clear up.
An American couple offer water for the final cleanup and a nice English guy comes over to see if he can help.
By this time I had a pile of used wet wipes piled up on the dash when old lady (with hubby), both with sticks, walks by and starts chastising me again, commenting that it's lucky to have a seagull poo on you and that I could have avoided the mess if I hadn't had the roof down. I sarcastically thanked her for her help and she went on her way down to the sea front.
I was just about to follow them to the car park waste bins when I had a brilliant idea before I continued my journey.
What do you think I did with the used wet wipes ?
Answers below please

And I was so hoping that was going to be a banana up the tailpipe! which is probably the best place for the wet wipes!You really needed to stop right there and then to clean up a bit of bird st off your car? Can't your wife clean her own head?

I'm with the old lady. You're a .
I wouldn't go this far, but she was right and you were entirely in the wrong. Behave differently.The only reasonable action - beyond a) not making this whole story up or b) not blocking the disabled parking spot in the first place would've been to apologise, move the car immediately and then finish cleaning up the mess.
As for "guess what I did with the wet wipes hahaha", surely it's illegal not only for twelve year olds to drive, but also for them to be married?
