What would you have done?

[celstu1]

I would have said "oh yeah I forgot why I didnt shop at Walmart often, low-life losers like you" LOL Ok not really! I wouldn't have said anything more than likely. Not really worth my time to let some ignorant person work me up... ya know? However, I highly reccommend you go shop at Target, the customers (most of them) are nicer. At least in my part of the country they are. I stay FAR away from walmart these days. I cannot believe the class of people that shop there around here. Screaming kids, jammed parking lot, frowns and rudeness everywhere.... its awful. I dropped BF off outside walmart a couple weeks ago so he could go fill a perscription. I kind of parked out of the way thinking he'd only be a minute. I kept checking my rearview mirror and watching cars around me to make sure I was not blocking anyone in (I was parked in front of a few spots) and this SUV pulled down the lane, parked and the couple started walking up the lane. I drive a 2008 Honda Civic. My first new car in a long time. The guy HITS my window and tells me Im blocking a handicap spot and he had to walk from WAY DOWN THERE. sooo MOVE MY CAR! I was furious! DO NOT TOUCH MY CAR! Why would someone do that? Why do they think they have the RIGHT to hit your window? I was speechless to the rudeness and the lack of consideration. Ive always been taught to be considerate and respectful to my elders. How can I be that if they are not that back to me? I didnt move my car... figured since he was already parked that he didnt need that ONE particular handicap spot anymore (there were like 15 handicaps open at the time also). When BF came out I told him what the guy said and we drove by his SUV and it didnt even have handicap plates or a placard in the window, nothing. ooohhh some people just need something to b*tch about!

Moral of my story... go to Target! LOL

I would love to shop at Target if we had one. Wal Mart ran most other stores away so Wal Mart is all we have....sucks!!!! You really should have swung your door open and knocked him on his a..., I mean butt!

Maybe he thought it was "Mentally Handicapped Parking"! Having a handicapped g-son, I'd probably tap on your window and ask you to move (even with lots of open spaces). And, if I see an illegally parked car, I REPORT IT. That's one of my pet peeves.

Where do you live? Target is pretty much the same as Wal-Mart here, just fewer, farther between, less selection, and more expensive. I miss K-Mart!

Ohhhhhhh I like Target said with a french accent! lol They really have nice stuff...

Hmm... i think i would have just got another cart and ignored the incident, wouldnt allow her to spoil my shopping trip.
Never let people drag you down to their level, some people dont know how to treat others, it's sad, they never had a decent upbringing.
Her attitude shows what sort of home she comes from, and what her life must be like.
I feel bad for people like that, they obviously dont have much in their lives.

I completely agree with you Mandy - it was such a shock though to catch her in the act!!

I live in NH. Target is just a much nicer store around here than Walmart. I dunno. If there are tons of empty handicap spots, its unneccessary to tell someone to move. I was not parked in the spot so clearly I was not sticking around for long. I swear some people have nothing better to do, like that guy. Not to mention my window was partly open and he didnt 'tap' on the glass he whacked it. He could have just spoken to me.
