So who was wrong? Me or her? Asda aisle kerfuffle.

[user1498726699]

So standing in front of the face creams in Asda, deciding which one I wanted. I am not generally an aisle hogger and had been there all of 10 seconds, when a woman reaches in front of me to grab something, arm in face scenario.

I then say 'excuse you, if you'd just said excuse me, I would have moved out of your way. '

She then says 'oh, we all forget ourselves sometimes don't we?'

I then say 'yes, so it seems' and move off up the aisle.

She then loudly shouts at me 'stupid woman!' I reply 'and you.'

I then come across her (think she followed me) among the kale and broccoli, where she walks past me shouting down the aisle 'excuse me' giving me evils.

I say 'so, you found some manners then' and she flounces off.

I admit to be a bit hypervigilent around the store expecting my hair to be yanked or her imagined 7ft brick shit house son to accost me in the frozen section.

On relating this adrenaline fuelled event to DH back home, he said I shouldn't have said anything to her as she might have garrotted me, it was Asda after all.

So should we not correct people's bad manners for fear of violence then, so like irascible toddlers they think they can behave as they like?

You're both wankers. You sound exhausting.

Someone briefly reached across you. Who cares?

This is why I shop online.

..he said I shouldn't have said anything to her as she might have garrotted me, it was Asda after all.

😂

FFS just let it go. This is the second AIBU post I have read today where someone has started an argument and then mentions how scared they were of repercussions. The time to worry about repercussions is before you go out of your way to cause an argument.

Whilst it is good to stand up to people when you feel you can actualise some good in a situation people really need to let the small stuff go.

Yes it is annoying when someone reaches across you, equally it is annoying when people do not make an effort to move out of your way when the are blocking the aisle or a product you need.

But most normal people keep it inside rather than pick a fight about it. The world would be a better place if people learnt to let the smaller things slide.

Asda is going to be more of a shanking supermarket, surely

A garrotting feels more exotic. Waitrose in Knightsbridge perhaps.

Sainsbury's is going to be getting run over in the car park - non nonsense and en route.

Kingjoffrey I am not sure what I like more your comment or your name. Are you watching tonight or tomorrow?

old biddies

charming.

Agree that you were right, I would have done the same thing as you, and also said "I was taught manners when I was younger, you were clearly dragged up" but for her to start it agin on the other aisle showed that she clearly had the problem. If she had only used manners in the first place. Some people don't agree but manners is very important and if it's not used what is the point in having them at all!!
You were right but don't let it get to you too much!

Honestly? It's a bit pathetic and embarrassing really. Who starts and continues a row in a supermarket?! Just inwardly tut and let it go. I don't know what happens to some people when they enter a supermarket -I swear the fridges emit arsehole vibes.

This would irritate me,but not as much as the people who stand right in front of me when I'm literally 3 feet away from a shelf,obviously looking at something. I've had this happen so many times. I said to one woman who did this 'Excuse me,I was actually trying to look at something'. She turned around and said 'Well you were taking so fucking long about it!'. I had been stood there for 30 seconds maximum!

Eh, sometimes when I've been criticised, I want to find a way of feeling good about myself. Wouldn't have taken it as far as she did by any stretch.

This sounds like a Mrs. Mills problem... ! Or rather, you sound like Mrs. Mills! she reached across you and made a comment. Big deal. Roll your eyes and get on with your shopping.

I agree with Pagwatch

Garrotting is too exotic for Asda. Asda would be a basic slap/and or insulting with pushing involved,

Tescos more of your no nonsense punching.

YABU.

Initial comment, fine. But you escalated it and continually had to have the last word like a child.

I would have done the British thing of say 'oh sorry' and moving out of her way.

You'd kill me OP, I move people's trolleys so I can get past!

Haha, me too ChasingHighs

Garotting in Asda? Surely not. It's much more of a slapping and scratching sort of place I would have thought?

If you want a good garott can I suggest the food aisle of a pretensious deli or grocer? I reckon you could get garotted by someone's man in Partridges of Duke of York Square in Chelsea if you crossed the wrong well connected aristo while perusing the jam.

As others have said you both sound as bad as each other

Points for the use of the word kerfuffle, OP - I feel it is a word that deserves a come-back.

Someone briefly reached across you. Who cares?

^^^ This. Absolutely this.

And why the Asda comments?

You escalated this and, worse still, you seem to have an attitude about Asda. If you feel it is beneath you then don't shop there.

As soon as something you do can be called "Asda isle kerfuffle" you know YA both BU.

'Brick shit house son'

That's where you lost any molecule of sympathy I might have held for you.

aisle

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. You were both rude.
