Anyone else just going HULK during this covid lockdown

[GinIsHappiness]

Alright.

I work in the NHS, next week Im to be be redeployed to the wards (I'm hca and based in a certain area) I've never worked a ward. So I'm worried I'm going to be crap and they're all going to hate me: I know we have to pull together... but from what I've heard BANK nurses arnt exactly welcomes to the wards it seems. So that's once reason I've become a bit stressed as I'm worried about it

Today I went to the post office to send some letters. They were needed to be sent sooner rather than later. Anyway... the post officer worker saw me read the sign and then proceeded to tap it... tut at me and say 'parcels should only be sent if really neeeded'. So I look at him and say 'yes I see that... but I don't have a parcel I have letters' he then looks me up and down, and at my son and says only should be coming out for essential things really. He's saying this as I'm about to pay. (I'm single mum, that's why son was with me)

*I lost it

Like.. went mental. Telling him I can read and what I'm sending is extremely important and that whilst I appreciate people are still being naive about social distancing I'm not and I bloody work for the nhs so believe I know! I was like those letters are regrading my will!!!!
I stormed out close to tears.

Now o feel so bad. I feel like going back and apologising to him because well why did I get so crappy!

Please tell me I'm not the only person to have just gone from
0-to hulk

Think I'm just looking for some people feeling the same over such little things.

Gin or wine tonight? Or both!

You have my sympathy op it's a stressful time. If you behaved like that and didn't feel bad afterwards you'd be a wanker. Instead you're just human and feeling strain. Funny how people can carry on under pressure then it's something minor that tips you over the edge.

Aww OP I don't blame you. It sounds like he was being an arse to be honest.

Just before lockdown I was with my family and my bro in law coughed and started saying it was Coronavirus, that he had all the symptoms etc. I went absolutely mad and ended up storming out. Sister rang me later and said he was only joking etc but I didn't think it was funny.

So YANBU!

He was an idiot for making massive assumptions.

But also bear in mind that lots of other people actually are total idiots.

Forget it OP, no massive harm done - you probably feel worse than he does.

Tbh I think he deserved that. It's none of his business and I can see why you are so tense. Nothing to apologise for, he kept pushing it.

Power hungry shit got just what was coming.

He thought he had a vulnerable single mother, he had a confident NHS worker, able to speak for herself. Hopefully he'll think twice before unleashing his thick mouth on the vulnerable again.

And DO NOT apologise.
When you need to go back, front him right out.
He got what was coming and you performed a public service in delivering his comeuppance on behalf of all the other Mums.
