Louise Looft admitted assaulting cab driver Kevin Robb on August 24 while he was parked at the town’s Lordburn rank.
Looft, of Noran Avenue, and Robb had ended their relationship the day before and the 35-year-old had spotted him, parked at a rank, after she had been drinking.
At Forfar Sheriff Court, Fiscal Depute Bill Kermode said Looft had walked past after having a few drinks and jumped into his vehicle.
He said: “The accused entered the taxi and tried to rekindle their relationship.”
Mr Robb told her their relationship was over so Looft slapped him on the face.

As he contacted police, Looft grabbed Mr Robb by the arms and she was still grasping him when officers arrived.
Sheriff Jillian Martin-Brown deferred sentencing until October 19 for reports.
