I was doing some shopping yesterday and somehow managed to get my shirt sleeve caught up between the spoke and material of an elderly man's umbrella.
The umbrella was one of these huge ones and was in his shopping trolley,sticking out,the wrong way up/down. Anyway,we were both stationary when the incident occurred,but when he started moving,he took me with him,with force.
I think that I was unsure of what to do at first,so I went along with him for a bit,trying to get out, but I couldn't. So I said excuse me at least five times, before he turned around.
I explained the situation and then he looked and said that I had torn his umbrella (there was a kind of stretchy hole of material between the umbrella-structure and the material).
I denied it,but apologised, and then he did a massive kind of put-out-but-confined type noise and then just carried on,at the same pace,which was fast/medium, talking me with him basically!
Anyway,I ended up having to rip my shirt to get free! I wasn't going in his direction and I had shopping,so I was sweating!!
Was he being unreasonable? Should he have stopped/slowed down?
