I was looking through a rail of clothes at a local charity shop this afternoon. A woman walked up to me, said "excuse me", and then without giving me even a nanosecond to move (which i would have done) forcefully shoved me aside to get past me. Not just a gentle push but a shove.
Now, I'm not from the UK so maybe this is normal behaviour and I'm just not aware of it. But I found this very rude and, after checking that she hadn't been trying to distract me in order to pickpocket me, gave her a dirty look.
The woman turned to her friend and commented that I had given her a nasty look so I spoke up and said she had pushed me quite hard. She responded "but I said excuse me!" and then turned back to her friend to say how rude people are in this village (meaning me!).
So who was rude, me or her?

AIBU?
To think you shouldn't push people out of the way in shops immediately after saying excuse me?
