Care in the community has a lot to answer for, yesterday morning in a long queue in a city street a young female attempted to do a U turn in front of oncoming traffic, the chap behind her and in front of me started to move forward as she (he thought) turned right, of course she couldn't make the turn in one, and he hadn't blocked her reverse shunt, but she still mouthed off a barrage of abuse at the fellow enough to make a team of road builders blush, sorry i couldn't help but laugh at this spectacle.

Have you checked your bonnet for deliberate vandalism damage from the wielded weapon, vis one bag, not as the old bill would be remotely interested.

All part of life's rich pattern I am afraid. As much as you wish to react, and it is easier to say than do, take several deep breaths and think about what has been said. The calmer you appear to be, will take the wind out of their sails as they have not rattled you and that means they have to start thinking. A process i suspect they are unfamiliar with! Certainly take photos which can demonstrate to both parties what damage, if any exists. Usually you can tell if it is a rant, in which case it is unlikely to escalate. Then just part company quietly. You seem to have done all those things so I think you handled it well. I always try to park away from entrances and busy spots. You find more room elsewhere and you can pick a better spot to park. Better a 50 metre walk than an argument. Cheers Concrete
