Why can't he just reverse? Cabby picks fight with driver for parking too close

A cabby attempted to find fault with STOMPer Carol at a petrol kiosk for her parking too close to the taxi last evening (Mar 18). When a bystander came up and supported the STOMPer's cause, the cabby challenged him to a fight.

The STOMPer wrote:

"I stopped my car at a Caltex petrol kiosk at Jurong West around 7.30pm yesterday (Mar 18) for my two-year old daughter to drop off her dad's mail into the letter box as she enjoys doing that.

"I parked my car in front of a Transcab taxi and was about to head into the kiosk store when the cabby confronted me about my vehicle.

"He tried to pick a fight with me for parking too close to his taxi, making his vehicle unmovable.

"When I told him that all he had to do is just reverse as there was no cars behind him, he continued arguing with me.

"Am I supposed to park my car three feet away from his car and cause a hindrance to other vehicles moving out of the kiosk instead?

"He even challenged a bystander, who sided with me, to a fight and accused him of siding with a woman so I asked the bystander to let me handle it as I didn't want to get the other party into any trouble.

"The cabby even told me I should pay him for his time that was wasted; I told him, instead, that he should stay put while I call the police but the quarrelsome man drove off instead.

"My daughter was so frightened she was crying in the car.

"Is this the kind of cab drivers we want on the road?

"What if he lords it over a meek woman or a tourist?

"Will let Transcab know about this and hope they do something.

"I feels people complain too much over trivial stuffs sometimes, but this incident is ridiculous and totally unnecessary."

Taxi drivers, MRT users - many people here seem to have anger issues. My uneducated opinion is that it is the stressful life in Singapore. Unfortunately, some people are less able to cope than others.

Some friends tried to reason with a middle aged man at Tiong Bahru market when he tried to use his car to intimidate a nervous lady driver who was parking her car (edging closer into her field of vision). They said his veins were almost popping out of the skin on his neck, he was so worked up.

Similar incidents happen every day.

Read carefully, some people read & see but still cannot understand; there were no cars behind the taxi so the cabby can just reverse the car to drive out instead of picking a quarrel in the first place. From the photo can see big empty space behind cabby no? Are you blind or just another bias person against woman drivers? You be in the stomper's predicament, let's see if you will walk away from it after being accused of a non-existent fault. Apologize when you are not at fault? Be polite? I think you must be out of your mind or a total loser. Baby cry because was frightened by the commotion the lady should just take the cabby's crap?? Make cabby's day? Yeah!!! I can step all over this woman. How you know lady plump? Little bird told you coz u are good friends? What has the lady being plump got to do with the incident at all? You are damn funny. Are you a clown by profession?
