Can't believe what happened... was l in the right?

[Oktagrammata]

Went to IKEA today... hardly any trolleys in the trolley bay .. but just manage to get last one.
I put my walking stick in the trolley.
Needed loo.. went to disabled loo..( l have a stoma). left my trolley outside with my walking stick in.. thinking surely no one will take my trolley.
Comes out of loo and trolley is gone.
Asks the security guy and a member of staff I'd they had seen it/ moved it.. they hadn't.
So l start walking... to look for it..
See a woman in the next section pushing my trolley .. with some items she had put in.
I explain she has my trolley with my walking stick in.
She looks at me like I'm mad but doesn't say a word. Takes out my walking stick and hands it to me.
I say.. " can you please take your items out of my trolley and let me have it back please".
She huffs and puffs.. but doesn't speak. Put her items into her friends trolley and pushes my trolley to me so hard it bangs into me.

This.

💯 lots of entitled people these days. Worse post Covid. Dog eat dog. Sad times.

I have no idea why you are trying to nag me about this. I have never said anything about having the right to take anything. So ... ? Weird.

If I genuinely thought that the trolley had been abandoned with a walking stick in it (which wouldn't be outside a disabled toilet with someone in it), I would take the walking stick to customer services and hand it in before starting my shopping.

Yes. And this. Unreal. I want to move to a little Greek island 😆

@Brefugee well that's true...

She was a cheeky bitch. Glad you stood your ground.

Can only hope the people defending this appalling behaviour are in fact random 12 year olds.

Absolutely this is what I would do as well, my first thought wouldn’t be take the trolley it would be get said stick back to its owner!

Cannot believe the amount of people on this thread who are siding with the lady who took the trolley. Sadly sums up a lot of people’s attitudes towards those less able bodied

@Squeezetheday I don't doubt that some of these people are also ableist, but I think most of them saying the OP WBU aren't even bothered about that, they're just being provocative out of boredom.

Well thankfully on this thread your hideous views are in the minority.

Absolutely, a veritable cavalcade of cunts.

This is really what you got from this thread your sticking up for a person taking a walking stick from a disabled person that's OK but my spelling isn't

How can a walking stick blend into an empty trolley?

The ikea near us close down. My kids and I miss it sooooooo much 💔

That is the word I wanted to use but was being a bit too polite!

I didn't hog it.
I wheeled it from the trolley park in the car park.

When it's left right outside an occuped disabled toilet? You could I suppose, but it would make you a bit of an ableist twat.

You could if you are totally ignorant about disability, yeah.

We've got another one!
It's honestly depressing that so many people think like this.

Thanks for owning up!

What a hideous comment. Stealing a trolley with a walking stick in it from outside an occupied disabled toilet isn't rude, but getting the trolley and walking stick back is?

Right.
Everyone parks their trolley near the cafe while they go eat.
Do you people that thinks l just left my trolley for anyone to take because it was outside the disabled toilet.
Do people take the trolleys from the cafe park while people are eating?
What's the difference?
You don't take someone else's trolley.
There was a shortage in the car park l used.
I was lucky to get it .
I walked into the store with it.
My walking stick and a yellow IKEA bag in it.
