Years ago in Scotland I was walking along the pavement with my young
daughter. A clown in a car decides he wants to park on the piece of
pavement on which I was walking (towards him). I declined to move in,
forcing him to come to a stop. He felt that I was the one being
unreasonable by stopping him driving on the pavement.
Having my 5-year-old in tow forced me to decide against any further
action, but it made me so angry, and still does. I've asked people
how they expect a wheelchair to get past their car, only to be met
with the response "You're not in a wheel chair, so it's none of your
business".
Shoot the bastards.Slowly.
