How do you know they were mother and daughter?

Do you know this rotten mom, clearly setting multiple poor examples to her kid?



How do you know it was the mom who taught the kid?

One day the only place available in my parking lot was one where I had to park completely askew, because all the row was askew. I came back hours later to find an old woman vituperating against me and my badly parked car... because in that span of time, all the other cars had gone, and the new ones had parked correctly. Mine was the odd one out.

I remember this incident whenever I feel like vituperating against someone else. I don't know what led to their decisions. Maybe it wasn't their fault. Etc.

You'll find that giving grace to others lowers your blood pressure, OP.



Same happened to me. And the woman was about to have a heart attack scolding me about my parking. I even said it was due to the wonky parking of the other cars. She was not open to reason.

Your kids will be working for the tween who flipped you off. Survival of the fittest.

OP I am now giving you the finger, both fingers in fact. And I'm 55 and my daddy taught me this gesture.

Who cares, honestly? The -only- reason I woudl have a problem is there my be a psycho on the receiving end of it. But if warranted . . . meh.

You also don't know if the parents taught it. Kids hear and see a LOT in school, even by older ES years, that parents don't "teach."

I have no problem with my kids flipping the bird if they’re in the right. In your situation they should have held back. Sounds like they were wrong.

But bird flipping is a-ok in my book. My kids are 15 & 17 tho. Tween does seem a bit young.

Is this the first time you encountered someone rude in public?

And what did the mom’s race add to your story?


Clearly you didn't click the link. The mom is white. The vehicle is a black Volvo.



Also, the kind of entitled person to see someone and continue to block the crosswalk is exactly the kind of person who would *not* chastise their daughter (not in photo) for giving someone the finger.

She has a dashboard? That certainly narrows it down.

This black VA Volvo mom with a stuffed bee on the dashboard, that's who. She was blocking the crosswalk. i said nothing, gestured nothing, as I had to go around her - but I looked her dead in the eye. Then her tween child in the passenger seat throws me the middle finger.
