Anyway, I went shopping to Aldi the other day. The one near me has traffic lights to enable customers to use the car park. I was sat in the queue to get out for around 10 minutes, and the lights didn't go green once. I've seen this happen before, but never been sat in the queue. I got out of my car and looked where the front car was. Sure enough it was around 6 feet away from the white line. So I walked to the front of the queue and pointed out to the driver that he wasn't over the sensor that trips the lights, essentially, the lights didn't know there was anyone waiting to use the junction, so they weren't changing to green.
Did the man say "Thanks" or anything else similar...no he muttered something like, bloody sensor should be further back, I should be over it. Why not "thanks I wondered why the lights weren't changing"
I found it very rude and totally unnecessary. Mind you I didn't fancy sitting there all day waiting for the lights to change, I don't suppose the others in the queue wanted to either, but I was the only one who bothered.

There are rude people around even when you try to help them. I know that from knocking on doors for the election and I am asking if I can take up any issues for them with the council. Thankfully the vast majority are pleasant and appreciate help when it is offered.
That sensor at the Aldi lights isn't brilliant but it doesn't excuse the man that you helped.
