To think this woman was far ruder than me!

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?

Just had to post to tell you what an annoying twat you are OP. People like you absolutely infuriate me. It’s just the absolute lack of spacial awareness and consideration for others

Why do people stop to sort their belongings out right in front of the last step on the escalators/stairs, in front of the ticket barriers at a station, standing in doorways to entrances/exits etc? Just blocking the path for everyone else - with literally no room for them to go. You’re all absolute fucking losers and should just keep your annoying selves at home if you can’t be bothered to walk over to the side! If I was her I would have just pushed past you and hoped that you dropped something or that my bag scraped you! 😘

I find it very difficult to believe this is really a reverse. You just didn't like the answers you got, that's all.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 30/08/2018 17:18

You blocked the entrance. That's rude and annoying all on its own. Why should your need to faff mean people can't go in and out of the shop?
The other woman was rude, but really what do you expect? You started it.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/08/2018 17:19

I agree fuckme - not a reverse, just a disgruntled OP trying to save (egg-covered) face.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 30/08/2018 17:19

Reverse is a bit naughty

But the women blocking the doorway and being passive aggressive was the rude one...whoever she is

(Im very passive aggressive....its a dreadful habit)

LonginesPrime · 30/08/2018 17:19

Well shoot me down in flames but this a reverse. Sorry

So it didn't happen in front of your DS but in front of your DC as you were the other woman?

How do you know when she saw red? You seem rather retrospectively empathetic towards the passive-aggressive door-blocker, OP, especially given that you're still so upset with her.

CigarsofthePharoahs · 30/08/2018 17:21

X post.
YABU for the reverse. They're nothing but annoying.

spottybetty · 30/08/2018 17:21

People who stand in doorways and block them are bloody annoying and rude. YABU.

llangennith · 30/08/2018 17:21

You're quite a piece of work aren't you OP😬

Maelstrop · 30/08/2018 17:21

Don’t believe it’s a reverse.

Isawthelight · 30/08/2018 17:21

Was it really an issue for her to have to walk around me or to have wait a few seconds for me to move out of her way

Don't block entrances and expect people to wait for you to be ready. YABVU.

JacNaylor · 30/08/2018 17:23

Sorry op but you started this, by blocking the door and by making a comment to your ds. Then you followed up by shouting at her. She wasn't brilliant either but yabu.

2018SoFarSoGreat · 30/08/2018 17:24

This thread has it all - Mumsnet Bingo!

Hannnnnnnxo - tell us how you really feel :)

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 30/08/2018 17:25

Hmm. A reverse reverse?

mingebags · 30/08/2018 17:25

I agree. You were far ruder, and you didn't need to make an aggressive comment. I hope you can explain this to your son.

Isawthelight · 30/08/2018 17:27

Oooohhhhh no-one likes a reverse 'round these 'ere parts.

SassitudeandSparkle · 30/08/2018 17:28

Probably hoping for a deletion, claiming it's a reverse. Don't do it, MN!

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 30/08/2018 17:29

But the OP is telling the 2 sides of the event quite differently

PrivateDoor · 30/08/2018 17:29

Sorry op but I HATE when people block doorways or the pavement or whatever, it is so selfish. I always stand out of the way. I do think you were the one in the wrong here and I can see why your PA commend to DS annoyed her.

Guavaf1sh · 30/08/2018 17:29

If it isn’t a reverse YABU

If it is a reverse YABU for doing a reverse

Queenofthestress · 30/08/2018 17:30

If you were where I lived passive aggressive comments, depending on who you're talking to would have got you punched or stabbed. It's happened before, several times.

PrivateDoor · 30/08/2018 17:31

ARGH I missed the reverse thing, OP why would you do a reverse for this? Why post it at all in fact? FFS.

JacNaylor · 30/08/2018 17:38

Oh, just seen the reverse. Ya still bu, for getting into a public argument and for posting a reverse which has us all wasting time answering it Grin

Thatsfuckingshit · 30/08/2018 17:40

Reverses don't work as you have no idea what their point of view of the story is.

Saracen · 30/08/2018 17:40

You both deserve each other. Each of you escalated matters when you could easily have let it drop.
