Should have ticked the 'blocked in assist' option when getting the car, where it sounds an alarm at the pleb attempting to block you in and also sends you a message to your mobile phone so you can catch the pleb before they leave you blocked in.
It's on the spec sheet just below 'lane assist', 'parking assist', 'distraction assist', anti-speeding assist', 'anti-collision assist', ... though easy to miss in that list of about 50 'assist' items that aren't even in alphabetical order.
Came out of the hotel this morning to go to the client's office only to find I had been blocked in by an ill mannered self centred woman. Not only had she parked in a non parking spot, but she had positioned her Vauxhall Mokka, reg DN68XHF, so close to my drivers door that a non- disabled driver like myself would not have been able to get in let alone a disable blue badge holder like myself. Yes I was in a disabled space and no she wasn't disabled.
I complained to hotel staff but apparently she had not registered her vehicle at the hotel. I wonder why? Whilst I was waiting, propping myself up on my walking stick, she turned up. Didn't even apologise. Just got in her car and drove off. She didn't check out so she will be in the hotel tonight. It's going to be an interesting conversation in the bar/restaurant tonight

1. The hotel is pretty isolated
2. The car had clearly been left there overnight as all the windows had been frosted up, but still she chose to drive off without clearing her windows
3. She approached the car pulling only a laptop bag, so she will be in the hotel tonight.
A lady at an isolated hotel comes back to her car and sees an angry looking weirdo hanging around. I'm not surprised she scooted off pretty sharpish.
You assume she is staying at the hotel. How can you be sure? Could she just have been dropping something/someone off?
But yes, people can be rude and only ever think of themselves, not the impact of their choices on others.
Or they consider that while their choice may have a minor down side for a short period for some, it doesn’t matter to them because they won’t be affected.
