    I was in the supermarket loading my car & a woman was reversing out (very slowly) a few bays from me, right into a waiting car. Now the car did beep three times, but she must have been so busy with whatever was going on inside the car that she didn't notice it was actually a warning for her & carried on.

    So I shouted a warning to her, she was only about 6 inches from hitting it & still hadn't stopped.

    She nearly bit my head off.......:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I told her to "shut up, that she was an ungrateful cow & next time I hope someone lets her smash her car":) ;)

    I noticed him slip his unsigned card and the letter with his PIN into his coat pocket.

    Such people are a danger to themselves and are not suited to card ownership. Arrogance and ignorance are not a good combination, perhaps this is where the nanny state should step in?

    A man walked up next to me and reached out for a multipack so I said "With the special offers, six individual packets work out cheaper" and he gave me a really scared look, grabbed the multipack and raced away.

    You should have chased him around the supermarket with a handful of crisps in each hand.

    That made me laugh for some reason!

    I do try and help people too, but again people tend to get scared:o Tried to tell a wee old lady that the value bananas were the same as the regular bananas but she was having none of it, lol.
