With hindsight, I bet you now wish you had just sat there yourself, looking bored and pretending you had all the time in the world while she became steadily more irate. But console yourself with the thought that getting you to reverse away like that will almost certainly rate as her main achievement of the day. Some people lead unhappy lives, and I'll bet she's one of them.
As well as the fact that one day she'll probably meet someone who won't reverse and do something entirely irrational instead. I once had to intervene and stop a fight in a car park in Leamington Spa in the week before Christmas because neither party would get out the way of the other and decided getting out their car and squaring up would be a more sensible way of resolving the issue. People be crazy |

I did think after the event, I wonder what would have happened if I'd taken the same attitude as her, but as you've suggested it wasn't worth coming down to her level. It would have been far quicker for her to reverse and let me by anyway. I had to stop and straighten up several times because I was getting too close to park cars. She really gained nothing. |

 It was the stress of the situation and the distance. |

Dropped my bloody phone down the toilet last night (it was in the back pocket of my jeans before anyone asks why I had it in the toilet). It's currently residing in a bowl of rice on top of the boiler.
Pain in the ass, especially since I'm out and about a lot over the next few days and have no spare phone that my sim fits.

It's a micro sim. My neighbour has just kindly offered me the loan of an Iphone 4s, which does have a micro sim. However, she's not sure whether it's locked to Vodafone and I'm on O2. I'm going to collect after football, so fingers crossed. I didn 't realise how much I rely on my mobile. Sad really. |

Ah .. have a few spare phones, none of them micro sim.. well hopefully you are sorted anyway.
Fyi: you can get micro sim to normal sim adapter off eBay. But that's not going to come before Christmas. Maybe one of the phone accessory stores in town would have one, but of a long shot..

Have you inadvertently blown your alibi as to how it fell in the toilet here? |
