Weird parkiing and mother

Basically this morning as I walked my son and his baby sister into school I brushed past a toddler at a part of the road on the entry to school that is very narrow and for this reason very few mothers let toddlers walk on this bit and instead carry them. I did not knock the child to the ground or anything like that I merely brushed past him with my pram which brushed against a bag he was carrying. I did say sorry. The mother then said in a very exaggerated voice "excuse me"

This woman also parks opposite to where I park - when I got back to the car she claimed I had knocked her child off its feet I said "I am very sorry I did nit see him" she then starts on "I saw that cars are struggling to get down this road with your car parked there why did you park here when I (she) was already there? I said well she doesn't own the road and that why didn't she move if she saw people were struggling? I then said well thanks for letting me know that and she continued on rabbiting the same crap

It really pissed me off and I hat conflict but I genuinely did not brush her toddler off its feet and it was irresponsible of her to allow her toddler to be walking there plus who the f*ck does she think she is to tell me where I can park

Whole think very odd and I don't know what to do next if anything at all any advice

YANBU to feel shaken up, I hate confrontations like that even if I know I'm in the right. You apologised for brushing past her toddler she should have let it go. No idea about the parking but there's still no need to be so aggressive.

Op yes it sounds like she is confrontational so more than likely is that type bit on the flip side it sounds like you might be a little bit off in your own world with a lack of awareness of others so although it might have been upsetting at the time if it prompts you to be just a bit more careful and considerate in future maybe it's not the worst thing in the world (I say this as a fellow "away with the fairies" type)

She sounds like she was in a bit of a mood and wanted to take it out on someone. As for you, I think that for someone who hates conflict you were quite aggressive, but tit for tat. Leave it, avoid her, ignore her. Move on. TOmorrow's Tuesday!
