I Hate Rude People

This afternoon I had a few jobs to do in town and i had my eldest with me. I parked up at the supermarket in the mother and child spots. As I parked up a woman parked to my left and had her kids in the car. I got out to quickly get some cash out before I went inside. I get out and shut the door and she just gives me a nasty look as if to say you haven't got a child why have you parked in these spots. I ignored it and got cash out then as I come back to my car she says " oh its alright is it to use the mother and baby spots just so you don't have to walk as far to the cash machine". Shocked and a little speechless I paused and said "Oh no, my son is in the back I just left him in the car for two minutes whilst I got money out". She still wasn't satisfied so went at me again. "These spaces are for parents who need the extra room to get kids out of the car and are actually taking them into the supermarket". I rose above it and smiled opening my door to show Alfie sat in the back, i lifted him out and said "oh we are both going inside". She gave me no apology for being so unnecessarily rude or nosey. All I got was a "good!" and she strolled off with her two children following behind.


Thankfully im a relaxed person so I dont get angry and retaliate but it does annoy me how some people can be so rude sometimes. I was polite back to her so I know I'm the far bigger person at least :)
