WOMAN KENA KAREN AUNTIE @ SIGLAP WHO DEMANDS HER TO SWITCH OFF HER CAR’S ENGINE

Who is at fault here? Me or Karen Auntie?

Okay so the other night as my husband and I were returning home, he had to urgently go to the washroom so we stopped at one of those neighbourhood malls (similar to Greenwich V, Siglap V).

It was around 11.30 pm on a Saturday night.

He rushed in and I parked along this metal chain (no yellow lines). I was not in a parking lot and I did not want to block the street so I figured ‘okay la, wait there for 5 mins until he comes out then we go’. Since it was at night, I turned off my headlights as the car was facing landed houses, but I did not turn off my engine as I was in the car and expected him to be fast.

I am also not near enough to any landed houses for them to be able to even remotely hear my engine sounds.

Within 5 seconds, this Karen Auntie comes up to me, knocks on my car and says “There are two signs one in front and one behind that ask you to turn off your engine while waiting. Can you follow them and turn off your engine?”

I said “Ya okay” and rolled up my window and continued to use my phone thinking that my husband would be back in like a minute. However, this woman continued to stare at me and stand beside my window.

After another 10 seconds, she knocks on the car again. When I roll down the window, she says: “I thought I told you to off your engine? Cannot listen? Okay I take photo of your car”.

She then proceeds to walk back towards her house which was one of the landed properties like 20m away.

As she was going back into her house, my husband came back and we drove off.

I want to know, am I at fault here?

I mean, according to road rules, yes, I should have switched off my engine, but come on lady, it was almost midnight and he just had to rush in to take a leak. Mind you, there were other cars idling on the street at that time, and they were parked on double yellow lines.

I don’t understand why these boomers have to behave as such. Cannot live and let live? My waiting time really was the five minutes. I don’t know why she had to come up to me and be so passive-aggressive. It was extremely triggering.

Advice and comments are appreciated.

How do you guys (or girls) see it?

(If the consensus is that I should have listened to Karen Auntie and switched off my engine then fine, I will do so the next time but URGH)
