Why would you block somebodys driveway and not care !?

I living in flat/apartment building , and there is a laundromat on the outside of the building.... today when i get home this lady going to the laundromat parked her car on the driveway to enter my building and did not care . I went in to tell her she is blocking an entrance to our building , my word she did not care kept sayinh okay il be right there and went about carrying on talking to the owner of the laundromat saying i must wait. There is lots of parking along the road available for people to park and only when she wanted to she came out and moved hervehicle , she started making funny faces at me while walking to her vehicle telling me im making noise and i must shut up . The cheek of this woman . I went to the laundromat to tell the owner he should ask his customers to be more considerate he said he cannot do anything about it because he is inside sitting he cannot see where his clients park . And then she came after me sayinh dont speak to him speak to her because she is the one that blocked the driveay and she came up close to my face aggressively . The thing that also shocked me apart from her utter disrespect and lack of both of their consideration is that she says oh because you white you cannot wait note , i am AN INDIAN MUSLIM FEMALE , I was wearing THE ISLAMIC HIJAB/SCARF and a ABAYA/CLOAK . How am i white !? How did this become a RACE THING!? How !? Bare in mind she is an AFRICAN FEMALE . How is expectations of people to be more considerate a race thing . Why cant you just park on the street like a normal person ? Why BLOCK A DRIVEWAY AND BE SO SELFISH . Can anyone make me understand why are people so selfish and inconsiderate!? With this DONT CARE ATTITUDE ? Why do we even have rules ? #southafrica

I've seen the race card being played as well. Once a woman was trying to bud in line at a retail shop and my wife told her to go to the back of the line and she suggested we said that because of her race. Everyone in line knew we did it because we have been waiting a long time.

@JimboSaturn It's best to shut up and stuff it. They generally have their own way in the public space. It's not that they are not aware of the way to behave, they just don't care. We care, and we follow the rules and observe social etiquette. We don't lose it and yell. They do if you so much as get in their way without meaning to. They see it as an affront, a show of disregard for their emancipation from slavery.
