Epic WTF

wow some properly wtf parking stories upthread. I hadn't thought it was possible to hate cars any more than I already did! Drivers are aggressive and bullying towards anyone without a car, amazingly they seem to hate each other even more. Cars represent one of the biggest failures of our society.

walking back from the shops earlier, arrive at a 4-way crossroads on the quiet back streets near my house and about to step out when a car speeds up to the junction and abruptly stops and I can see the driver clearly not sure where to go, I wait on the kerb for about 15 seconds while they furrow their brow trying to figure it out and are making no indication of where they intend to go nor acknowledging they're holding me up because I can't step in front of a driver with the engine running who doesn't know what they're fucking doing and was clearly not driving sensibly before they reached that point.

they eventually opt to turn across the bit to the corner where I'm waiting to cross to park on the same side of the road as I'm standing and as soon as they pull past me I begin to start crossing having been waiting for a solid 20 seconds or so by this point, only for them to immediately slam the car in reverse and try to reverse back into the junction to straighten their car up having to slam on their brakes before nearly hitting me and then they actually had the fucking nerve to beep the horn at me.

at any point they could have seen me waiting and waved me across letting me know they'd seen me and it was safe to cross, or had half a fucking braincell that i would try to cross the road when they passed me, either way it would have taken 3 seconds for me to be out of their way so they could take all the time they wanted. but still they treat me like the asshole having lost 30 seconds of my life to their indecisiveness.
