To be annoyed with the person next to me in the car park

[SpottieDottie]

It's a lovely sunny day, nice and quiet in a small car park about to collect the DCs from school and the idiot in the black BMW next to me has been sitting with their engine running for the last ten minutes, really, thus spoiling my quiet time and polluting the air as well.
I wish I had the guts to say something....

[Etihad]

YANBU - however a possible explanation seeing as it's a black car, is that it was really hot in there so they had the air conditioning on, and didn't want to flatten their battery.

[Bearbehind]

Er- drive somewhere else for your 'quiet time' then.

He might be keeping his air con on while he works in his car?

[HannerHet]

Yabu

[SantasLittleMonkeyButler]

That's the trouble with car parks - full of cars.

[CoffeeTea103]

Do

[Bearbehind]

I wish I had the guts to say something....

I'd love to know what you would say - I know you're in a car and it's in a car park but please can you turn your engine off so I can enjoy my quiet time - I reckon you'd make his day!

[BlondieBrownie]

YABU.

It's a car park

[EyelinerQueen]

Oh please say something to him OP you loon .

YABU btw.

[MrsRuffdiamond]

Oh, dear, I do this, and yes, it's to keep cool. I've often wondered if anyone is secretly judging me. Now I know!

[AndHarry]

Why are you there 20 minutes early? Bagging a space? Walk next time!

Ahem :o

[MargotLovedTom]

Why doesn't he get out of the car if he's that hot?

I hate cars idling for ages I have to admit.

[Canus]

Jesus OP, whatever you do don't go into the school building to escape the car in the car park.

The people might be breathing and all sorts.

[hmc]

YANBU - In that it's a waste of fuel and an unnecessary pollutant. If he wants to keep cool and work in his car then he should open his windows.

[AgaPanthers]

If it's a lovely sunny day, what the bloody hell are you doing sitting in your car?

[Sparklingbrook]

If it's the car park I am thinking of it's to zoom off quickly before the gridlock starts.

[chipshop]

I do this a lot because I'm charging my iPhone, which has a pretty crap battery.

[YoureBeingASillyBilly]

You expected not to hear car engines in a car park? Really?

YABU. Very much So.

[TheReluctantCountess]

There is a cur running in a car park. Shocking.

[TheReluctantCountess]

Cur? Car.

[PostmanPatAlwaysRingsTwice]

Oh dear. I never do this this but am right now because the small yins are asleep and it's boiling. But I'm not in a BMW or in a car park so not offending the OP, phew.

[Bogeyface]

I was pissed off with the twat next to me. He parked up all windows open with his music blaring so loudly that DD put her hands over her ears and our windows were shut. When I opened the door to get her out she started crying as it frightened her.

Ass hole, he was in an Audi though.

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

YANBU. Its an offence in Scotland, don't know about rest of UK.

[LadySybilLikesCake]

My neighbour used to do this. He'd start his engine at 7am then piss off inside for 30 minutes, leaving it running. I didn't need an alarm clock!

[Mintyy]

"Yabu, bloody nosy busybody. What's is got to so with you "

Do you honestly think that is a reasonable way to answer this op CoffeeTea? You are so consistently rude to everyone and frankly I am sick of seeing it - so much so that I have done something I very rarely do and reported your post to HQ.
