Name changed so I am not outed.
In a shop today with dd who has additional needs both learning difficulties and also mild physical. She also has as a result low confidence, struggles socially and we have been working on her independence. I have been trying to encourage her to go to the till and pay as she won't.
Anyway dd was to the side of the aisle choosing what she wanted. An older lady was also in the aisle and had one of those shopping carrier things on wheels so admittedly she was in the way. I therefore kept dd as much to one side as possible as I too get annoyed when aisles are blocked but dd was walking slowly (due to her disability).
A woman wanting to get passed did not say excuse me to which I would have moved but simply shoved dd out of the way and started a tirade of abuse at her, i'm sick of fucking people like you, fucking move, she had one of those baskets on wheels full of stuff and pulled it up in the air nearly hitting dd in the face. She nearly bumped into someone else as a result and called dd a bitch.
I said something and just got glares from her and the people with her. In the meanwhile the security guard just stood there and said nothing.
I am still bloody cross about it.
I am also pretty sure it was the same scumbag who's picture I have seen this week as being abusive to a family with an autistic 8 year old on a plane back to my nearest city because there child was upset and she was hung over from Ibiza which is making me angrier.
I would have made more of a fuss if I hadn't known it would upset dd more.

To still be fuming and have expected shop security to do something?
