Fuming at this guy in the supermarket

I was in the supermarket this evening and I went to pick up a bottle of fabric conditioner. It was from a good brand and very cheap on offer. A big bottle for a cheap price. It was also the last one of that particular fragrance on the shelf. As I reached out to take it from the shelf, I had almost got it when a guy came by the side of me and grabbed it. He then went over to a girl who I presume was his girlfriend and gave it to her. Presumably, she has asked him to get it for her. I was absolutely fuming. I picked my jaw up off the floor said 'You fucking cunt' and walked off.

AIBU for saying that?

Little over the top yeah. I’d have probably said something, congratulations.

Yes

😵

12Thorns · 13/06/2022 18:43

Use one with a different scent?

Bywayofanupdate · 13/06/2022 18:43

Umm... Yes that's a bit of an overreaction

MrszClaus · 13/06/2022 18:44

YABU - that's such an overreaction. He hardly wrestled it from you!

luxxlisbon · 13/06/2022 18:45

Yeah, massive overreaction.

You were clearly reaching for it at basically the same time so it was no more yours than it was his.

There is just no need to be this outwardly aggressive to people.

Heyisforhorses · 13/06/2022 18:45

Over fabric softener, you don't think that was a bit ridiculous?

PaddingtonBearStareAgain · 13/06/2022 18:47

You get that wound up about fabric softner that you swear at other shoppers?

Wow

Giveitall · 13/06/2022 18:47

He was not a gentleman and I empathise with your fury, but neither was your reaction ladylike.

Blossomtoes · 13/06/2022 18:48

Jesus. You know you can get help with anger management issues?

PAFMO · 13/06/2022 18:48

You could perhaps have asked the assistants if there were any more in the back instead of being uncouth and abusive.

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 13/06/2022 18:48

I mean, cunt is used quite casually around my area so wouldn't have batted an eyelid. Probably would have laughed and shrugged if you said it to me.
I also would have thought the same thing. But definitely not aggressively.

The point was that he grabbed something quickly that he could see I was reaching for. I would have been annoyed if it was any product. It was more annoying because it was the last bottle.

Did you ask if they had anymore!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 13/06/2022 18:51

You know when you read a thread and it screams first world problems! 😂

Yh huge overreaction. It's not like it was a low shortage essential item.

He was rude though. I may have just tutted but calling him a Cunt. Sorry OP YABU but I find your overreaction hilarious

frydae · 13/06/2022 18:52

I think you lost the moral high ground hen

Speckledhen2022 · 13/06/2022 18:52

Yes I did.The assistant said no.

YABU

Sirzy · 13/06/2022 18:55

Unless it was the only item on the shelf how did he know what you where reaching for?

TulipCat · 13/06/2022 18:55

Two things : It's not yours til it's in your trolley, and whilst you might think it was obvious you were reaching for it, it might not have been to him. And using such vile language is a massive over reaction anyway.

MaryBeardsShoes · 13/06/2022 18:55

Well, he was being a cunt. Maybe if we told men they were being dicks when they were being dicks we’d all be much better off?

Rosebel · 13/06/2022 18:56

YABVU. Massive overreaction. He didn't snatch from you and how slowly were you reaching for it that he managed to take it?
