    Inconsiderate drivers

    Came out of the hotel this morning to go to the client's office only to find I had been blocked in by an ill mannered self centred woman. Not only had she parked in a non parking spot, but she had positioned her Vauxhall Mokka, reg DN68XHF, so close to my drivers door that a non- disabled driver like myself would not have been able to get in let alone a disable blue badge holder like myself. Yes I was in a disabled space and no she wasn't disabled.
    I complained to hotel staff but apparently she had not registered her vehicle at the hotel. I wonder why? Whilst I was waiting, propping myself up on my walking stick, she turned up. Didn't even apologise. Just got in her car and drove off. She didn't check out so she will be in the hotel tonight. It's going to be an interesting conversation in the bar/restaurant tonight

      I hired a Mokka once. It had a heated steering wheel. Very nice it was.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        You assume she is staying at the hotel. How can you be sure? Could she just have been dropping something/someone off?

        But yes, people can be rude and only ever think of themselves, not the impact of their choices on others.
        Or they consider that while their choice may have a minor down side for a short period for some, it doesn’t matter to them because they won’t be affected.
        …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

          1. The hotel is pretty isolated
          2. The car had clearly been left there overnight as all the windows had been frosted up, but still she chose to drive off without clearing her windows
          3. She approached the car pulling only a laptop bag, so she will be in the hotel tonight.

            Block her in, then take a day relaxing in the spa.

              A lady at an isolated hotel comes back to her car and sees an angry looking weirdo hanging around. I'm not surprised she scooted off pretty sharpish.

                My Mazda 6 has that also - not something I thought I'd use but it's quite nice on a cold day
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  Which are you? Or have you officially gone split personality (and I use the term personality loosely)

                  I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.
