Drivers not using their indicators!

The other day I was going into a carpark at the shops and there was a car coming the other way. I had to give way to this lady before pulling into the carpark. I was waiting for her to go pass as she could see I was waiting for this spot. Instead of going pass she pulled into the spot I was waiting for, she didn't even bother to use her indicator. It didn't really bother me that she took the carpark because there was 3 more right next to it, but what really annoyed me is she didn't even use the indicator.
I had a friend in the car next to me and I said to her that I should get out and tell this lady that her indicator wasn't working. Even though I am pretty sure that she just didn't bother to use it. I got out of the car and was going to try and say it to this lady, but I knew I wouldn't be able to do it without laughing. So I decided to go into the shop. The lady went into the shop after me, so as soon as I got out of the shop, I said to my friend to get me a pen and paper. I wrote a note to this lady telling her that her left indicator didn't work and put it on the windshield.
I still couldn't help myself, I parked in a different spot so I could watch her when she came out. She came out, put her shopping in her car and then got into her car. I thought surely she can see the note, but she obviously didn't see it and drove off. When she went to turn right, she didn't bother to use that indicator either.
I know I shouldn't have reacted that way, but she really annoyed me by taking the carpark that she could see I was waiting for and doesn't even bother to use her indicator.
Have you had experiences like this?

Hahaha I love it. My husband used to yell out the window in situations like that he always asked if that model came out with indicators if the person says yes he would say well why don't you bl**dy well use them. I do the same as you and just ignore the person though I never thought of leaving a note. LOL you've given me incentive.

I am glad that you found this funny, my friend and I were laughing about it all day. Like I said to my friend, I have done a good deed today because I let someone know their indicator wasn't working, even though I am pretty sure that it was but she was too lazy to use it. She really confirmed that when she didn't use the other indicator when she left. I love what your husband used to say. That is really a good one. Thanks!

Geez, some people are just so inconsiderate. How do they ever get a drivers licence in the first place?? I was actually out with a friend just yesterday and she went to a shop to get her son some nappies. My friend forgot to use her indicator once whilst we were out and I told her that she forgot. Im glad that I told her though and she was too.

I understand that people forget sometimes, I think this lady forgot with me because she was concentrating on pinching my carpark. Then when she left the carpark, she still didn't use it. Thanks!

Some people are so inconsiderate, why did she take that carpark if there were others next to it? I think it is very funny with what you did. You were probably a lot friendlier than most people.

I don't understand why she took this park, but I just couldn't help myself and had to leave a note for her. It was a lot friendlier than some people, some people would have abused her for that. Thanks!
