    Maybe, but he is "seriously charming".

    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.

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

    Which are you? Or have you officially gone split personality (and I use the term personality loosely)

    My Mazda 6 has that also - not something I thought I'd use but it's quite nice on a cold day

    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.

    Block her in, then take a day relaxing in the spa.

    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.
