i was in the parking lot of the tyler mall last saturday, and there were no parking spaces. there was this car that was getting ready to leave so i had my blinker on to let people know that i was getting ready to take the parking spot. so the car backs out, and this lady just came out of nowhere and took the spot even though she knew i was waiting for it. So when she got out, i rolled down the window and i cussed her out. she just looked shocked and looked like she was about to cry. after i cussed her out, i started to drive off, and i yelled you stupid b**** out of the window. that is so unlike me. my friends were in the car with me when i did it, and now they are teasing me about it saying how mean i was. I don't think so. do you?

It's understandable that you were frustrated, but yes, it was mean of you to just cuss her out.
First, you should have given her the benefit of the doubt: Are you absolutely 100% sure she knew you were waiting for that spot? Is there even the slightest chance she didn't see you or your blinker? Is there any possible reason she may have needed the spot more than you - pregnancy, physical infirmity, etc?
Second, you should have presented your concern in a polite but firm manner, not jumped straight to cursing. You could have said, "Ma'am, I was waiting for that spot, and you knew it. It was very unfair of you to steal it from me, and it has upset me very much. I can't make you give up the spot, but I hope you remember this the next time you take someone's spot or cut in line."

You were very mean there, but what is more scary is the fact that you said that this is a very strange action for you but you said that you didn't think that it was mean. This is an outward contradiction which means that you are asking a question that you already know the answer to.
too deep? Basically what i mean is that you pity the woman you yelled at but you still believe that you were right. Our answers cannot resolve this inner conflict.
I am deeply against swearing and I encourage you to never swear again for any reason. Also impatience is a horrible thing when combined with stress. This combination can and will destroy friendships and/or make bad first impressions. Work on controlling your anger and becoming more calm.

I think what you said to this woman was unkind, especially if she really didn't see you. Then again if she did see you, and took your spot purposefully, that was also uncalled for.
What's truly funny about situations like this is that you sat there and waited for a spot up close so you wouldn't have to walk very far to get into the mall, yet you went into the mall and probably walked around for at least a few hours, correct? People like you amaze me. :)

Maybe you are mean. You reacted with a lot of hostility for something so small as not getting a parking space. Or maybe you're just an irritable person.

You have a right to be upset because you were letting people know you were next for that spot, that lady was mean to you to steal the spot. That has happened to me before. Maybe you used to much profanity but in all it was the other person who was wrong, she shouldn't have took your spot.

I think maybe you had a mild case of 'parking rage' there. It is damn annoying when that happens and you could have maybe bitten your tongue but hey - nobody died because of it. Don't stress - you bit her head off, end of story. Maybe next time she'll look around more before jumping into someones space.

Although the woman was rude to take your spot, your behaivor was uncalled for. You SHOULD have said "Excuse me but I was waiting for that spot first" Your reaction was tasteless and immature.

Your behavior was common because of her poor behavior. Obviously you are not proud of that day, but want to correct it.
If you want to clear your conscious, apologize to your friends (NOT BECAUSE YOU HOLLERED AT THEM) but because you want to apologize for your behavior.
By you asking forgiveness, you will release the tension and guilt of that act and your friends will hold you in higher regard. Trust me, your friends will truly forgive you and understand.
Most of all, you will be at peace with God and yourself.
