To think this woman was far ruder than me!

[YeOldeFishWife]

Feeling a bit upset as this took place in front of my DS.

I was coming out of a shop and stopped at the front to put my purse in my bag. A woman approached with her DC to enter the shop. I admit I was blocking the entrance. She huffed a bit and walked around me, this got my back up a bit so as I walked off I said to DS, 'she only needed to say excuse me'.

The woman then shouted after me, 'no I didn't need to say excuse me at all'.

I saw red at this point and shouted that she had no manners, she said nor do you and called me a stupid cow.

I'm rather shocked and embarrassed my comment escalated to this and it shook me up tbh.

She didn't need to shout after me.

AIBU?

Neither did you need to make a comment

Annoying and passive aggressive. You have no manners. You blocked the door, didn't apologise for doing so and then made a sarky comment to your son for her benefit. Username suits you.

Your passive aggressive comment led to this.Do you often shout at people in the street?

With regrets op YWBU. First for standing blocking an entranceway (this winds me up a ridiculous amount) and second for a passive aggressive comment afterwards.

You were twice in the wrong, once for blocking the entrance and again, for making a comment.

Sounds like you both overreacted.

You were wrong to block entrance, then wrong again to say that to your child loud enough for woman to hear

You didn't need to block the door. Or shout, or answer back passive aggressively.

She called you on it.

You started it

It would appear you are in the wrong by bad mouthing her to you ds

a) you are one of those annoying people who stops in inconvenient places to sort yourself out and b) you were totally passive aggressive with the comment to your DS. Look to your own behaviour first.

No, you were ruder then her.

All you needed to say was sorry,and move out of her way. People like you can be scary and intimidating. I bet your son was embarrassed.

Yabvvu. Don't stand in front of the entrance or blocking access. Step to the side or into a wider space first.

You were more in the wrong. Once you'd realised you were blocking the entrance you could have avoided all this by apologising as you moved aside.

I hate it when people block entrances. It's rude and inconsiderate. Just take two more steps and get out of the way.

YABU OP.

Are you always cowardly and passive-aggressive?

You were definitely ruder than her! By a long shot.

You were rude and passive aggressive. Unfortunately for you this woman wasn't afraid to call you out on it.

Oh but passive aggressive comments like your should be outlawed; either speak directly to someone and say "you should have said excuse me" or just pipe down. I hate PA comments; there's just never a need for them.

You didn't need to block the door. Or shout, or answer back passive aggressively.

^this

Why would you block the door and then make a bitchy comment to her.

Is this your normal behaviour or did someone piss on your cornflakes this morning?

YWBU. She did nothing wrong, you decided that 'she got your back up a bit' and you 'saw red'. Sounds like you need to learn to control your temper, especially around your child.

You were making the comment to your son, OP. When she shouted a response, you should have ignored her and continued on your way. It’s never a good idea to shout after people or to get involved in this way.

You were the one in the wrong on all accounts, sorry.
