Just got some abuse

Ravinder · 14th June 2016, 19:23

From some guy in his BMW. I was parked up at the local retail park and a BMW pulled up beside me. The guy left the far running. Quickly got out and put the wiper arms up on the car beside me. I was just getting out of my car to pop to the shop. He saw me as he was doing it. As he got back into his car, I put the wiper arms back down. He saw me do this and said "what do you think you're doing you ****** ****? I said stop being immature and putting the wipers up on someone else's car you have no right to touch or damage or else I'll have to report you. He told me to **** off before getting back into his vehicle and driving off. Was I in the wrong?

I'm sick of getting abuse from people up here. Having had loads of it over the years, especially racism, it makes my blood boil. At the time, I was putting on a front and not letting it get to me. Now, I'm raging and a tad sad.

I think you did right Rav, not many people would have done what you did.. Nice one..
And don't worry about the abuse he gave you.. He lost that one...

could have been his mates car

many years ago when 16 I chased an FS1E down the road and confronted the rider. I knew who's bike it was, turned out the rider was a mate of his and had borrowed it.

racism, sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you

I was called a Nazi Jew at school, did not anger me, just puzzled me. How can you use the two in the same sentence? Even white English people suffer from white English people

For me it started with names... ended up (aged 16 and at a place of work) in hospital for two weeks with serious burns...

A life changing event that still has effects almost twenty years later.

You did what many people would like to do but don't. Well done you.

Scaramanga · 14th June 2016, 19:48

Pathetic immature behaviour that you bravely did right to confront

championdaddy · 14th June 2016, 19:59

Crikey...........I won't tell anyone that I do this to a certain friend of mine everytime I see her car !

Bigcul1 · 14th June 2016, 20:00

He had absolutely no right to say what he did and I find it terribly sad that people can speak to others like this. No respect.....however it was probably his mates car (why else would you do it unless you were odd). I would have just left them, the owner would have returned and put them down eventually.

Hi Rav.
You did what you felt was right buddy ( which was the decent thing ) and that's all that matters. A few years back in my younger days if anybody gave me a hard time or abuse I would just knock them into the middle of next week and would often get on the wrong side of the law from it. Nowadays I just let it go over my head because it's just not worth the hassle. These days you just don't know what people are carrying either so I feel its best not to get involved. There's no excuse for racist remarks in this day and age either but there will always be low life who think it's acceptable to dish out vile remarks. Just rise above it buddy. Your a better man than them.
