I was at the cash machine checking balance etc. and as I was in the middle of my transaction this woman came and stood right nest to me. I felt really uncomfortable having somebody so close to me, so I asked her to move away.
She said 'okay, I can't see anything anyway'
I say 'that is not really the point, its polite to stand further away'
She then said, as I was walking away, since I had finished 'Well you could be a bit more polite, young lady'
I told her that if she had not been rude by standing so close to me then I would not have needed to talk to her at all.
At this point I walked away but I was so angry. She made out that I was being unreasonable. And I was very annoyed at the 'young lady' comment, which was basically saying that I should speak to her more politely because she was older than me. Grrr!
Okay, rant over, breathe
