I was shopping yesterday. DC3 was in the baby seat in the trolley DC2(5) was holding the trolley and DC1(7) was walking next to us. No one was running or messing about. We walked to the baby change with the trolley, it's fairly narrow but easy enough for two trolleys to pass each other. My trolley had a bit of a mind of its own and with the baby in was heavy and a bit difficult to steer.
A woman walked towards us, directly at us in fact and made no attempt to move (she didn't have a trolley or anything). I tried to steer out of her way but when she got level with my five year old she said to him"get out the fucking way then"! I was so shocked that I just looked at DC1 like . She pushed past us and we carried on.
I'm under no illusions that occasionally my DC can get in the way or become slightly rowdy, however they were being well behaved and holding the trolley/walking at the side.
I said to DC1 that I couldn't believe how rude she had been and he said "maybe she's a nice lady usually but she's just having a bad day". I wish I had his optimism.

AIBU?
To be surprised at this woman's rudeness?
