Woman walking into me deliberately

[Dontbersorude]

Not sure what to make of this but, I was coming out of one of the main office entrances when I woman marched straight into me very aggressively and actually ended up hurting me. I was coming out but through the door.

I said as much to her and she went off on a bit of a tirade most of which I couldn’t make out but one would have thought she could be a little more apologetic after I told her she had hurt me.

Building security agreed it was all very odd as this sort of thing doesn’t happen here. Ever.

She doesn’t work in the building but all activity is monitored.

I suppose I’m a little shaken and upset at such agression from another woman so wondering if IAM to be so upset by her batshit behaviour.

I hope you have now reported her?

This happens to me often.

DH didn't believe it until I pointed out every time it happens. People will walk around him and barge into me. All. The. Time.
Whether I'm on my own or with others; it's like I'm single out for strangers to try to walk through me. And if I'm not being shoulder barged I'm being whacked with oversized handbags or shopping bags or having my ankles taken out by buggies and wheelchairs.

I swear I must be invisible.

It's rude and annoying and I don't know why people do it.

sorry to hear that OP

I hope you've reported it and can at least be sure she won't be in the building again?

This has happened to me a few times

The last time it happened to me was at Waterloo and I went for the guys’ collar, it was instinctive to just want to plant him on his arse.

Needless to say I missed and on balance probably avoided a situation that would have made me feel 10x worse but every time I’ve been shoulder barged I always have a fantasy hindsight of just getting them in a headlock.

Yes, it is just me....

The proportion of people with SN is far smaller than MNers would you have you believe.

Well said, Running - to read these threads you'd think it was 80% of the population . . .

[gordan]

Yes same with me. It’s like I’m not there

People aren't generally terribly aware of their surroundings, they do bump into people things etc. Especially if they themselves have SN.

OP is herself disabled, though. And I think it's worth remembering that people with additional needs - who are one in five of the population, and as cancer is considered a disability and old age can be it will end up being almost all of us - are far more likely to be the victims of aggression, including aggressive barging, than the perpetrators. Vulnerable people are usually the preferred targets of entitled arses. As here, in fact, where someone rammed into the OP, and when she protested that she'd been hurt she was met with a tirade.

I'm really sorry, OP, and hope something is done about this. I don't care if her day was bad - what she did sounds awful. A lot of the stories on here do. It's depressing and shocking that some people feel so entitled to harm another person at will that way.

Oops, sorry, didn't mean to resurrect! Been cleaning out emails after a week without online access and this was on a Mumsnet link. Again, hope you feel much better, OP.
