or was this man a twat?

[RosieWithTheGoodHair]

Just been to asda.

As I was leaving I saw that the bus was in 3 mins so sped up and overtook a man going relatively slowly with a trolley to get to the door

The trolley then rammed into my ankle as I got to the exit - not sure how as I had a good two feet on him by this point, was bloody painful and I shouted 'ow'. He said 'SORRYYY' in the way a teenager would when forced to apologise.

I was still in pain (it was that sudden, toe stubbing kind of pain) so had stopped to look at my ankle and then he shouted 'YOU CUT ME UP!' I flounced off in a rage.

Aibu or was he a twat?

Jackie maybe step away from the screen for a bit

He was being rude OP

Twat. An accident would have led to "oh my god I am so sorry are you ok" type responses, not "you cut me up".

I hope everything he bought goes off with hours.

It's hardly Ben Hur is it?

Two women with a pushchair rammed my mum (elderly, arthritic) in the ankles with their pushchair because 'she wasn't walking fast enough'.

I wish I had been with my mum, I would have loved to give them a piece of my mind.

People are fuckers.

He assaulted you with a trolley!!!! How did you nipping in front slow him down in any way, shape or form? Absolutely he was displaying twatish behaviour.

Not necessarily.

Sometimes people get defensive if they feel the other person caused the accident.

That doesn't excuse his rudeness, but it doesn't necessarily mean he deliberately ran the trolley into the OP.

What a horrid arsehole. He assaulted you. Knob head. Sending him cursey vibes to make him stub his toe this weekend so badly that it goes septic...

I wish I'd said something, in hindsight. I'd have undoubtedly descended into screaming banshee, though. Don't want to get banned from asda

Some people speed up to overtake and then slow back down again. It's fucking irritating. However, it's also something you don't have to put up with for very long. File under "people, eh".

There is a certain trolley etiquette in Asda.
The mistake you made here, OP was forgetting to check traffic, signal then manouver.

Hold your right/left arm out straight to signal a right/left turn,
Rotate arm to signal slowing down,
A loud beep for trolley reversing,
In emergencies (eg. missing a bus) sudden acceleration should be signaled with a loud 'excuse me' exclamation.
In the event of abuse from other trolley users, it is permissible to extend a middle finger on exiting the shop.

thispancan actualol 😂

Nineties I was trolleyless. The equivalent of a motorbike swerving in and out of cars, I suppose

Oh right
Probably best to arm yourself with a trolley in Asda next time. It can be used as protection or a weapon for self defence.

If I'd had one I think I may have whacked him over the head with it

It could be because I'm feeling really tired and vaguely irritated at something else, but I would have been fucking furious at this.

I'm working on the basis that it was deliberate from what the OP says, so what if it had been a gold club the man had been holding? Or a milk bottle? If he had chucked of swung either of those, it would be straightforward assault.

I'm not sure why a trolley is any different. Obv he would claim it was an accident, and you couldn't exactly do that whilst swinging a golf club at someone, but I'm not talking about actually pressing charges, just the principle of the thing.

It was male aggression aimed at a woman. The 'shopping trolley' element give it a levity that it doesn't deserve.

Many spelling errors...

trolley wanker definitelyi

ive nipped in front of people before going slow i dont expect them to ram me for it

I have a bruise which you can't really see here

Please ignore stubbly leg

Ouch! That looks sore.
I'm a bit alarmed by the picture, are you standing on your cat?

Yes. Yes I am

It's a furry throw. I don't have a cat

He is a twat.

He did it on purpose. You dented his ego by overtaking him. Judge Judy here . Coward!
