I went to a music gig in London last night with dp. We queued up and as we went to enter, men were asked to be on the right and women on the left to be searched. All fine, my bag was searched by a polite female security guard and I thanked her and moved forward.
I was then called over by another female security guard who snatched my bag off me and searched it again. I politely said that the previous lady had searched it, but nothing else. She then patted me down and barked 'move!' when she had finished. Again I thanked her and went to move away. I then realised that I couldn't see dp, and wouldn't be able to go in without him as he had the ticket confirmation and we needed to collect the tickets on entry.
I only paused for a second before spotting him, and the security guard shoved me hard in the bottom of my back while again barking 'move!' and then started a loud rant about people causing problems and this is why it gets 'all fucked up'.
The hard shove was completely unnecessary and actually quite painful. The security guard was clearly angry, and I had been nothing but cooperative and polite. I was happy to be searched, and had not been disruptive in any way. We were near the front of the queue so there hadn't been lots of trouble before me and I honestly can't see any good reason for her to treat someone like this.
Would you complain about this or just forget it?
