I was in M&S today. Approached the lift with my pram, pressed the button and began moving backwards, as I was moving backwards the lift opened. I continued moving backwards and apologised to the elderly woman standing in the door way of the lift. The lady did not look impressed and had a very harsh and quite abrupt tone throughout the following exchange, her tone remained the same. This is how the conversation went…
Me “Sorry”
Her “Have you got X-ray vision?”
Me “Pardon?”
Her “Have you got X-ray vision?”
Me “No, I must have approached the lift pressed the button at the same time as you arrived, that’s why I said sorry.”
Her “You have not got X-ray vision and I have not get X-ray vision. We didn’t need sorry. Get a sense of humour.”
I walked away very confused?! I don’t get what she means. AIBU to think this was all a bit strange or have I missed the point? I can’t stop thinking about how odd this was!
