Run in with a rude stranger

[junebaby2]

So I'm at a small shop today with tiny aisles and cute little mini shopping carts....making the rounds, doing my customer thing. I go down a row and a woman is in middle of already tiny aisle. I say,"excuse me please" and she doesn't even budge. Just keeps on eyeballing products on the shelf with me standing at her side in peripheral viewing area! I say , "or not" in a nasty tone and instantly regret it, and feel embarrassed and prepare to say it must be the lack of lunch and hormones. (What if she just didn't hear me??!!) She still doesn't budge. I squish by her and her mammoth tote size purse barely making it with my belly, waddle and cane (OK even if she didn't hear me,clearly she sees/feels me??)  To get to counter at end of row. My bf is behind me with a mini cart and our son in it who's chatting away. My bf says, "pardon us ma'am" and she doesn't acknowledge at all. I say, "that's exactly what she did for me too" and she STILL doesn't respond. He tries to squish by with the cart, she sees him and pivots about 3 inches, not actually  moving at all,just turning. It actually only made the back of her tote stick out in way even more! My bf scrapes all the shelves on other side to avoid hitting her. He comes up to counter behind me. I unload cart onto counter. The lady walks right up and starts asking questions about a product Like were not in middle of ringing up my order. There is nobody else there. No reason she can't wait one minute behind me. And she clearly had no hearing or sight issues from watching this conversation unfold. My bf says, "she has an awesome personality" sarcastically and I say, "great manners too" ... Still nothing. I'm like this must be punk'd or candid camera wth??!! Nope. She walked back down aisle. And we paid and left. Ive never felt so big and clumsy yet invisible at same time! Lol. So I thought this was pretty funny  because people usually vent about comments that strangers MAKE and here I am all annoyed by her lack of acknowledgment! Lol

Right! I hate to say it too or wish any ill will on anyone, but I agree! I hope there's some underlying reason!

Weird...maybe she has some kind of social disorder or is on drugs? Some people just don't know how to act appropriately. There's an older lady in the town my parents live in who is REALLY mean. She will find something she doesn't like about you, your dog, your clothes, whatever and let you know. My Mum got real offended till she found out the woman had early stages of dementia. Part of me hopes there is something wrong with this person. I really hate to think someone could be OK being so rude to a family like that!
