There was carparking rage in Mulllumbimby on 3 July. Senior woman indicates same time for car park as man (on other side of road) indicates. She gets it; it’s on her side. Man stops his car, leaving it blocking traffic, crosses road to stand at her car window, abusing her. Cars behind him beeping. I stand as witness making sure she is alright. Man goes back to his car… ranting… drives off swearing at us.
Shame on you. Whether the lady was in the right or not getting that park, this man’s nasty behaviour was reckless and mindless. Intimidating entitlement in little old Mullumbimby.
Also, the hinterland roads are not one way. Just because there’s no middle line, does not mean driving wilfully in the middle of the road, then being cranky about it if you have to move over for another car coming the other way. It’s dual carriageway.
What, because your car is bigger and newer you have the right for more road? Intimidating entitlement again? Stay left, you selfish moron. We all have a right to the road. Yes, they’re only three-quarter width and in poor condition (always have been!). The school bus and quarry truck can pass each other fine. It’s called ‘sharing the road’.
Please stop with this ‘all about me’ syndrome.
