To have said 'In a rush to wash that greasy hair eyy?'

Was in sainsburys today walking in between the barriers to get to the self-checkouts and tripped up on something someone had abandoned under where all the chocolate and sweets are. Then this woman walked past me and said 'excuse me hurry up this is an express lane don't you know' and I just blurted it out it was greasy though

Now fair enough that your in a rush but the space I between the bloody things could fit a rhino and the security guard told me she wasn't even actually behind me, she was to the right so it's not as if she actually had to stop!

AIBU?

Yes, you were - but understandably so, as so was she.

LettertoHerms · 12/05/2014 01:59

She was rude. You were also rude, but in a far more personal manner.

sykadelic · 12/05/2014 02:19

She did say excuse me... even though it was to lessen the rudeness. You were mean and unnecessarily cruel though.

There's no need to resort to personal attacks. It's mean, rude and unnecessary.

Chottie · 12/05/2014 05:40

OP - yes it was an unkind thing to say.....

MrsBungle · 12/05/2014 06:24

Well she was a bit rude but you were far ruder in my opinion - why the need to stoop to personal insults?

ApocalypseThen · 12/05/2014 06:26

Are you telling this story in the expectation that everyone will think it's funny?

meditrina · 12/05/2014 06:31

Her words were, it seems, unnecessary and PA. But not actually rude. And she may not have seen you trip - for if there was plenty of space, then you had presumably righted yourself by then.

Yours however were just plain insulting.

meditrina · 12/05/2014 06:31

I hope this is a reverse.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/05/2014 06:41

I am embarrassed and mortified on your behalf op. That you said such a horrible thing. And that you think it's funny to repeat it here.

That's just horrible. YABVVU

wheresthelight · 12/05/2014 06:42

Yabvvvvu!!

She was a little curt however you were unbelievably rude!! You need to thank your lucky stars she didn't slap you!

Partridge · 12/05/2014 06:43

Very very rude. Also unkind and very un-sisterly. I get the impression from your misguidedly jovial tone in the op that you think we will all find this hilarious and it will end up in classics Hmm.

PitchSlapped · 12/05/2014 06:44

If this really happened then you are nasty

MammaTJ · 12/05/2014 06:52

Had I ever been that nasty I would not be boasting about it on the internet, I would be ashamed!

ZacharyQuack · 12/05/2014 06:53

Was your hair really greasy?

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 12/05/2014 06:55

You're lucky you didn't get your ears boxed tbh

MargotLovedTom · 12/05/2014 07:27

What a daft thing to come out with, makes you sound about 14.

treaclesoda · 12/05/2014 07:39

she sounds a bit abrupt, you sound intentionally nasty.

ilovesooty · 12/05/2014 07:39

I'm embarrassed for you and feel a bit sorry for you that you seemingly thought you were so smart and funny that you'd put your behaviour up for validation on an Internet forum.

splendide · 12/05/2014 08:04

How is "eyy" pronounced? Like "eh"?

WooWooOwl · 12/05/2014 08:07

She was rude and you were rude and unkind.

eurochick · 12/05/2014 08:07

You were shockingly rude and should be ashamed of yourself.

TheHouseatWhoCorner · 12/05/2014 08:09

Do you feel better that you've possibly caused someone to feel embarrassed and self conscious for possibly the rest of the day until she can get home to wash her hair?
Yes, she was rude. You were very unkind.

trixymalixy · 12/05/2014 08:10

Are you actually proud of yourself? Hmm

Forgettable · 12/05/2014 08:11

You are very rude

(I am imagining eyy in a Cheryl Cole accent like wyy eyy)

FrigginRexManningDay · 12/05/2014 08:14

You were nasty and she was rude.
