Sitting in the car at the local shops an old biddy rifling through her oversized handbag walked past my drivers door & snagged the long loopy handle on the mirror - spinning it about 30 degrees around from it's usual spot. I buzzed the window down as she was unhooking it & said "excuse me" and she looked at me & said "what?"
I said "you caught your bag on my mirror" to which she retorted "no I didn't"
After a couple more "yes you did" and "no I didn't" I realised she was simply in denial so I said a few choice words about having respect for other's property and she said "you need to show respect to the elderly"
Less than 5 minutes later another one walks between the cars - belting the trolley handle into my mirror. This stopped the trolley, so she backed it up about a foot and had another go.
Once again I put the window down, this time a lot less polite & yelled "oi what the f are you doing smashing into my mirror twice?" She just proceeded to reverse the trolley back as though nothing had happened. So I got out & yelled "hey, are you deaf? You smashed the trolley into my mirror twice" and a younger woman appeared beside her and said "mum, you smashed into his mirror" - and wait for the answer "no I didn't"
This resulted in a few sentences exchanged and sure enough, out rolled the classic line from her - "show some respect for your elders" to which I retorted "I respect elders who tell the truth, not those who lie like a 5 year old & think they can get away with it"
I couldn't believe it. Twice in 5 minutes 2 old bags smack the mirror and both deny it.
