Hello,
I had a upsetting incident at the local supermarket last week and would like some advice. I was in the que and the store was busy so I had a lot to contend with when a lady brushed past with her trolley and patted me on the shoulder. I can not stand being touched by strangers and this made me shudder. I was unaware I was in her way and suggested that excuse me was a polite way of moving me to which her reply was quite abusive and I was accussed of being rude and nasty, both of which are simply not me. I wonder what else I could have done? I would prefer to get along with people but find it hard when confronted with such situations and not knowing how to react. I have had similar expereinces which involve strangers patting me. Does anyone else experience this?
Thank you.
Nick
