I was in a busy shop earlier trying to get out of the way of shoppers who seem to want the item on the shelf right where I’m standing as usual so I head up to the top of the isle to try exit it and give others and myself room when a woman on my left says “you’re welcome” as I pass her. I’ll be honest I didn’t even see her as I was focusing on getting away from others as quickly as possible, she may as well have been part of a shelf for all I knew but it’s the passive aggressiveness that gets me, why resort to this tactic? Was she having a bad day? Did she not think for one second “he didn’t see me?”. I felt annoyed myself so just ignored her and carried on, next time am I meant to bow down at the feet of someone who gives me some extra room in a shopping isle?. This isn’t the first time I’ve come across this aggression aimed at me for not knowing someone had moved out the way for me, last time it was a bloke who was even angrier than the lady today.
