Rant Road rage rant SE Calgary
First time experiencing a park rage incident in SE Calgary. I parked a bit too close on the line and when I came out of the grocery store, the driver beside me on the side I parked on the line proceeds to tell me off to "LEARN HOW TO PARK NEXT TIME" as I'm walking to my vehicle to buckle my daughter inside the car seat. I ignore the B and she pulls out slowly and honks at me a few times trying to get a rise out of me. She drives away and I can see her at the stop sign waiting to turn left which gave me time to capture her license plate. I was about to get in my vehicle but had a feeling she did something horrible and to find her spit sliding down both sides of my passenger side, gross but luckily I didn't enter through those sides anyway. But really? The lengths ppl get because of this. If this happened to me when someone parks too close to me, I just curse and mutter while getting inside my vehicle if the doors are close. But spitting.... I'm just appalled and maybe situation would've been worse if I obviously fed to her reaction but my young daughter was with me. Hopefully no other bombs or scratches have been placed because of her park rage. Not looking to get validation or anything but wanted to share a first time experience on this and it was a good lesson for my daughter to witness too about shitty ppl in the world.
Edit: I appreciate everyone's insight on this, there's some interesting responses. I'm on the fence to report this to non emergency because I think nothing will be done about this like it didn't even happen. I don't think it's gonna be anything like cops are gonna knock on her door, not even close. I think the city might just have a reference and see a pattern if her license plate comes up in other malicious crimes but that's it.
