A driver has divided Aussies after confronting a woman who he claimed had hit his ute with her trolley at a car park.
The Queensland man had bought his Isuzu D-Max just three weeks ago when he left it parked at a shopping centre in Gympie, Queensland.
Another shopper tried to pass between his car and her own with a trolley, when he claimed it hit his car and shook the vehicle.
The outraged driver filmed the ensuing altercation as he confronted her while she was unloading her shopping into the boot.
'This is the perpetrator,' he said in a TikTok video.
'I beg your pardon,' the woman replied.
'I was just saying how you just hit my car, just pushed the trolley down through that tiny little gap,' he said.
'Like you don't even care.'
The woman said she did care, before telling the man not to 'be stupid'.
'You're going to take that, what, to an insurance company and they're going to what?' she said.
'Charge you how much?'
'What an attitude you have,' the man replied.
'This just stinks. You wouldn't even push a trolley through there to start with.'
The driver then took aim at the woman's hatchback.
'Look at your car. No wonder you don't care about mine,' he said.
Social media viewers seemed divided, with some leaping to the woman's defence.
'I drive a large 4WD and I expect it to get dinged when I park in car parks because it doesn't leave much room,' one wrote.
'Leave the old lady alone. She's probably a struggling pensioner.'
'At the end of the day, as long as a car gets you from A to B, that's what really matters. Nothing lasts forever anyway,' another said.
A third said her park was straighter than the man's.
'Her parking [is] spot on, not saying it's right. But well done to her for being straight and even in the middle,' they added.
'No hate, I get how you feel I've had the same thing happen to me and, long story short, police told me I needed to park properly in the lines for a start, and if you had done the same there would have been room for her trolley,' another said.
Others sided with the driver and took issue with the lady's response.
'This attitude is not uncommon, I feel for you bro. You handled it well,' one wrote.
'So sick of people like this no consideration. I've had this type of thing happen twice to my new car,' another said.
'I have always been told by my dad to never park next to a car that looks beaten up! This is why, ' a third wrote.
