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?
