You know it's slightly annoying when a car is stalking you back to your parking spot at the mall?

Well annoying when the get the hump with you for taking to long to get in the car and get going?

Well what fetidknobhead thought following me today would have been a good idea, when they clearly see me carrying a baby in a tummy pouch and holding the hand of a 3 year old...as if strapping them both into the car and dumping all my gear was going to be a quick task.

Some people really just need to stick a knitting needle up their bellends and pluck right off.

I call them vultures...it's even stupider when they do that and there are plenty of spaces just a few yards further on.
