Cool story from today.

I was driving today and there's a junction. I stop before it, there are cars coming in from the other way, so when I get my chance I get in. There's this car this old man is driving in front of me. Right in the middle of the junction, he turns on his right parking light, parks the car and gets out. I obviously stop, because there's no way to pass him, unless I drive on the pavement, or have dragon wings.

What happens next really did a number of me. The man looks at me angrily, points his finger to the parking light, all like "can't you see I'm parked?" I didn't know what to say, I literally lost my words. An old man, driving through a junction, parked right in the middle of the junction and got mad me because I stopped behind his car...? And not only that, apparently that created a mini fuss and the driver behind me yelled "why did you stop in the middle of the road" and I don't know if it was directed towards me or the old man. I obviously had to drive on the pavement to get out of the junction.

I really cannot explain this, I'm still shaken. At first I thought maybe I'd unintentionally hit his car but I obviously didn't and the man wanted to grocery shop, obviously, since the shop was a few steps further. This 100% solidifies my opinion that old people should not drive. Every bad driving incident I've had has always involved old people being careless.
