A woman in a polished BMW drove into my parking space at Tesco’s in Llandudno Junction at lunchtime. I was waiting patiently for the spot after a dreaded 3 hour fire lecture at work
And was hoping for a quick get in /get out scenario.
She was wearing sun glasses too,
On an overcast day!
My dander was up
She waved gayly, shrieking insincerity
That was until I yelled
“Cheap Outfit !!! ( I couldn’t see her shoes )
And as she spun around to argue , I batted in my next insult of “ Goes with yer handbag !” With gay abandon
Okok I was on thin ice as I was dressed in my useful and terribly over used blue Christmas Jumper, but I thought I’d take the chance
The handbag shot was an aside…but I could tell that it had hit home
as she scrabbled to see which one she had picked up
I will leave you with the adorable lisping choir
Fire lecture? But was it led by real fire fighters? 🤩 Kath x
ReplyDeleteI wish
DeleteWhat is it about the season of peace and goodwill, that brings out the selfishness in some? She deserved the cheap handbag jibe. And a three hour fire lecture - I feel your pain! Why was I expecting the lisping choir to be dressed as Santa or elves?🧑🎄 xx
ReplyDeleteI could have let it go,
DeleteI should have let it go
I didn’t let it go
It’s Christmas , play nicely everyone , I must admit I did laugh at the my parking space line.
DeleteI often have a my parking space that someone else borrows 😂
I meant she was being selfish, not you John. Didn't phrase it well! xx
DeleteShe probably had an urgent appointment with her manicurist or tattoo artist so needed to do a quick Tesco foie gras and oysters shop on the way.
ReplyDeleteShe wasn’t happy
DeleteHaha ... absolutely brilliant. Good for you. xx
ReplyDeleteI was being a gobshite
DeleteHahahaha
ReplyDeleteOh, I love it!!
XOXO
Can we book you for our nearest Waitrose !! Plenty of targets there !! Xx Bernie
ReplyDeleteThey deliver to the village !!!
DeleteComment for your troll
ReplyDeleteDONT YOU FUCKING DARE !!!!
Lee
Thanks dear lee
DeleteI eat trolls John !!
DeleteLeexxxx
I very much doubt I'd want to be eaten by you
DeleteWhy do you encourage the trolls lee?
DeleteEntitled people irritate the shit out of me. Well done John.
ReplyDeleteIt was the Eve and laugh that got me going
DeleteYou said that your dander was up. What exactly is a "dander"? I hope it's not what I am thinking it might be.
ReplyDelete
Delete"My dander is up" is an informal idiom that means you are angry or have lost your temper:
"Her rudeness really got my dander up".
"The boxer finally got his dander up and went after his opponent with a vengeance".
The term "dander" is a synonym for dandruff, and the expression alludes to the idea that you are so angry that it has caused dandruff to fall off your scalp. The word was first used in writing in America in 1831“

Thank you for the explanation Keith. Most helpful.
DeleteCheers Keith x
DeletePerfect, just the right come-back at just the right time to call her out for her outrageous behavior! Shame on all parking place thieves and they know who they are.
ReplyDeleteA Fire Lecture?
Hugs!
To be honest it wasn’t. Big deal , I felt like blowing
DeleteI love your salty comments, Johnno!
ReplyDeleteYou have to say what you think sometimes
DeleteHow do they come up with three hours worth of info on fire?
ReplyDeleteSome people are so entitled. Good for you...calling her out.
Go figure
DeleteWay to go John, gave her something to ponder! I hate those entitled drivers. Gigi
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas vibes lol
DeleteI don't miss those trainings, hours of your life you will never get back, telling you things you either already knew, or never will know.
ReplyDeleteI know it’s all mandatory …but I could claim the time
DeleteI could just see this in my mind's eye as you described it! Haha! She had it coming. I hate parking spot stealers.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t had an argument for an age, I was long overdue
DeleteLove your vivid descriptions!
ReplyDeleteThe air was vivid too….or should I say livid
DeleteYou should have barged Bluebell right ahead of her, give her and the shiny BMW a challenge and wipe that smirk off her face. Poor you! Did this make your blood pressure soar? Where did you park?
ReplyDeleteBluebell wouldn’t have made a dent lol
DeleteSounds like the time to emulate Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes. Towanda!
ReplyDeleteDo I look like Kathy gates ?
DeleteDONT ANSWER THAT !
Lol
Bates
DeleteYou should see her now in Matlock…she looks fantastic.
DeleteAnd a Merry Chri(th)ma(th), to you too, John!
ReplyDeleteGraciash xx
DeleteMade my day, didn't think I would see that in action...but two hoots and a dilly bar for your gumption!
ReplyDeleteI bet she be-bopped back to the house to change her outfit and purse! PS, I bet she is up for a lump of coal this Christmas. Jen
ReplyDeleteEntitled people suck!
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable when you get your dander up. Sharon in Colorado
ReplyDeleteGreat insult. She'll be pissed off for days...lol
ReplyDeleteI have become very protective over my parking space at Sainsbury's. It's crazy, but it quite upsets me if I see some bastard is already parked there. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteHope it had the desired effect. Hate those scenes over parking spaces when someone pushes in. Not very British - or is it these days?
ReplyDeleteSeasons greetings old lad, tis a goodly while since I have wandered the ol’ blogosphere but here I am once more.
ReplyDeleteAh the delights of the entitled driver, I still stick to my late father’s advice with regard to any other driver on the road.. “expect them all to be idiots, incapable, arseholes or all three and you wont go wrong”
Love the comeback by the way.
Hello my man xx
