User @HungryPerson wrote a post on Mumsnet to ask for peoples’ opinions.

The post has the title: ‘To use (a bit of) free parking slot to sit in the car and eat.’

The woman said on the post: “I have several appointments today, so I’m somewhat rushing around, with a couple of gaps.

“I drove to one appointment (in the town centre, no dedicated parking for the place I’m going to) and parked in a town centre car park.

“The car park has a number of spaces that are free for one hour, so I used one of those.

“My appointment only took ten minutes so I took the opportunity to go and buy a sandwich, went back to my car and sat there to eat it.

“So as not to drip feed, I’m pregnant and hungry! Don’t know if that matters.

“It’s also freezing, so although there was a bench outside, I didn’t want to sit there.

While she was eating, an angry woman knocked on her window.

“I opened the door and she asked me to move. I looked around and there were no more free spaces, and she was waiting for mine.

“I apologised and said I’d be done in a minute.

The angry woman then said: “absolutely ridiculous.”

The Mumsnet user answered: “pardon?”

“She ranted at me for a minute or two, the gist being that I’m selfish and entitled.

“I didn’t say anything, just gave her a look and shut the door on her, and then I left. I was sitting in the car for maybe ten minutes max.”

The Mumsnet user had only been in the space for 25 minutes and sat on a different bench to finish her meal.

She asked people: “Was I unreasonable?”

Most people are on the Mumsnet user’s side in the comments.

One said: “Why on earth did you move?

“For all she knew, you were waiting on someone/had just got there and were leaving your car shortly.”

Another said: “Not unreasonable. You can do what you like whilst your car is there, IMO.

“I’d have sat there and ignored her and probably found a few more things to do.”
