I got abused at the supermarket today.
I wanted to move into an aisle, there was a trolley parked across the aisle accompanied by two woman aged between 18 – 25 years of age. I politely said ‘excuse me’ . Neither looked at me. One moved on without the trolley while the other one moved the trolley about half a inch. I proceeded to go past and accidentally knocked her trolley very slightly. Wow, she turned, looked at me and said ‘you rude bitch’. I responded and said sorry but I did ask you to excuse me. She then accused me of deliberately ramming her trolley.
I didn’t say another word. I waited until she had moved on and was well out of my way.
It was an interesting visit to the supermarket. I definitely didn’t let it get the better of me. πππ.
I hate it when people block the aisle like that. Even more important now, to just be aware, so someone can pass.

I agree, also she wasn’t even using her phone.

And to think I see episodes of social distancing and hand sanitizing go amiss and get encounters of another type of rage either.

It was annoying. They were not wearing masks because the location is low risk and not considered to be a hot spot. I wear a mask because I have an Autoimmune Condition.

What is it about the early twentyβs (not all of them) that they are so rude and disrespectful? It really irritates me. We werenβt taught that way and they probably werenβt either. Kudos to you as you handled it well!

I knew if I hadn’t deal with it like I did I would have ended up adding fuel to their fire and I would have lowered myself to their level.

It is very difficult for me to keep calm at such rude people. Useless people without basic manners…

I cannot believe the hostile attitude that people have, and over the slightest things. And to act out in public is an invite of war. Even though meanness and evils have always been around, our world today is certainly different from years before.

I avoid unacceptable behaviour like that whenever I can. Yesterday I ordered online and had my groceries delivered to my home, it’s a great service.
