I am usually a very tolerant person ( well maybe not behind the wheel but in day to day life I am not confrontational at all). Anyway, DD12 & I were in Aldi earlier & it was really busy. We were politely trying to negotiate the crowds as they were opening a new till. We didn’t faff around & we kept walking forward so we wouldn’t hold anyone else up but this rude woman said to me something like “Stop yacking & just go where you’re supposed to go” & I just saw red. She was already walking away so I don’t know if she heard me but I burst out with “ Excuse me, we were not yacking, we were trying to reach a till like everyone else” & then when she was further away I said “ Shut your mouth”. She just really made me angry & I’m not angry as a rule! DD was shocked & told me off for being violent! I did say to her that it wasn’t my finest hour. DD hasn’t got the quietest of voices so customers in the queue were glancing at us. One lady did look quite amused! Have you ever gone out of character & “ flipped”? I blamed the fact that I am menopausal, haven’t eaten properly for 2 days & am not sleeping very well.

You were very restrained actually. I would have told her to fuck off, but then i am a bit of a fish wife Blush

@Galassia

Cringe.

I understand you were upset but lowering yourself to the level of a fishwife in front of your husband and the other customers is embarrassing.

Your misogyny is embarrassing.

Trying to park in a really busy car parkat Christmas with three children in the back of the car. Waiting patiently for someone to move, they were very slow and obviously had mobility issues. So I just sat near them, indicating to show that I was waiting for that space
Absolute bell end drove straight into the space within seconds of them moving
I lost my shit. Got out. Hammered on the window and told them to move. I mean I really lost it
He did move but afterwards I thought, what the fuck was I thinking, he was built like a shit house and clearly not happy. I obviously looked like a woman who had lost the plot Grin

Yes @Sparklfairy I'm a woman. But when I lose it (rare) I really lose it!
