Went into a well known store where the racks are sometimes close together.

im looking at clothes and I heard a ‘hello?’ in quite a harsh tone.
I turned around and it was a woman who said very abruptly can I get past?
I said yes but you could e said excuse me.

She muttered something and I said pardon? So went on a rant about how I should respect people older than me (I’m late 40s she was probably mid fifties) and so I said to her it was nothing to do with age.
Then as she walked off she had the nerve to say that ‘You’re privileged cause you’re Asian and that my life was handed onto me on a plate and I’ve had to work hard’
i said ‘Excuse Me??’ and she walked off saying yeah I said it.

She was of black origin but race had absolutely nothing to do with anything- had a retorted back about race which I would never do she would’ve been up in arms about it.

im just seething.

I'm seething too but for a different reason, obviously.

Try not to let it get to you. She was way out of order but she sounds like a twat.

People are vile and getting worse. There’s been times I’ve wanted to go home and not come back out over rude encounters.

Urgh it’s getting worse. Someone had posted on Facebook local groups about a school with a big multi cultural intake doing a Ramadan breakfast with all the pupils- well you can imagine the comments

There are some really weird people out there.

She's probably having a very bad day. It's a shame she had to take it out on you.

She sounds like a sad and angry woman and slightly unhinged, lashing out at you for no reason.

Don't waste any more emotional energy on her, go ahead and enjoy your day despite her. What a horrible woman.
