Horrid Experience today

Lucky Moonshine, 7 August, 2009 at 13:35 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 17

I have just got back from the supermarket, and had a horrid experience whilst there. I was walking down to the fruit aisle, and noticed an elderly lady doubled-over in the aisle, i went over to see if she was ok (she was having difficulty breathing) and this awful man behind me starting tutting loudly, i turned around and he said to me "move your f*****g trolley out of my way" i explained to him that i had just stopped to see if the lady was ok (whilst moving said trolley) and he just rammed me in the stomach with his trolley causing me to fall backwards into the elderly lady who in turn fell to the floor (which i still feel guilty about)

Security came over to see all the commotion, found me and the lady on the floor and the guy still shouting and swearing at me. Luckily they helped the elderly lady to her feet and i think called an ambulance.

I just can't understand what the guys problem was, i mean it was completley unprovoked and uncalled for, i feel shaky, (but silly for feeling like it).

Just wanted to offload.

    God that's really horrible, poor you and the old lady, I hope you are both alright now. Don't feel silly for being a bit shaky, it's understandable after an experience like that.

    Hope karma come's and bite's the guy on the behind, some people are so rude.

    Eek. You shouldn't feel silly for feeling shaky. The man assaulted you. He could have seriously hurt you or have caused you to hurt the elderly lady when you both fell.

    Hope you and she are both ok and that Security ban that nobber from the shop for his behaviour.

    Sophie - I think thats what shook me up the most, the fact is was just so random, i obviously wasn't expecting to be in the middle of that at the supermarket.

    Toblerone- Yes the security guards really were fantastic, they even offered to drive me home and then walk back to work which was thoughtful. They also took my number incase the police were involved.

    I keep thinking maybe he was drunk/on drugs/not of sound mind, but he did sound "normal" so i really dont know.

    Oh my goodness, what a horrible man. Well done you for stopping to help the elderly lady, shame on him for obviously being "more important" than another human being in need and I cna't believe he actually hit you with the trolley. ? I hope security dealt with this appropriately, have his details and you can press for charges against him? Surely that counts as assault?!

    Hope you are ok and can find something to take your mind off it. I have to say, I worry that my inner fishwife would have awoken had someone done that to me and I'ld have jumped up screaming at him! ? ? (or maybe just as likely sat on the floor in tears?!)

    Thanks all, I hope he gets banned too. The security guard said that they would let me know about the elderly lady if they heard anything, i do hope she is ok, she looked quite ill when i first saw her.

    What an unpleasant vile little man.

    If there was any way in persuing any legal action against him I would without hesitation. No matter how busy/impatient/distracted you are there is no need or reason for unprovoked violence. Please don't feel guilty or silly, that is not a normal experience and understandably has upset you.

    Hope you are okay and the old lady as well.

    What a horrid man, there is no excuse for that kind of behaviour. Hope you are feeling better and glad you had nice security guards that obviously cared, hope you get some better news about the lady

    That's just awful. What would he have done if it was just the old lady in his way, knock her down? That's disgusting behaviour. Well done you though for trying to help the lady.

    Pretty much what I was thinking. It sounds like an assault, and (in my opinion) the police should be involved, sooner rather than later whilst the shop still has any CCTV footage.

    Sorry to hear that you've had such a rubbish experience today. Well done for helping the lady; I hope both you and her are feeling OK now.

    How awful, I am sure anyone would be freaked out by that!

    It sounds like the guy wasn't acting rationally at all, maybe isn't 100 percent

    Wtf? Some peope don't deserve to be here do they?

    Was there any suggestion that he could also have been the reason that the old lady was poorly? Was he already there when you got to her or did he arrive afterwards? He most certainly needs sorting out by some kind of law, karma or otherwise.

    Poor you. I would be reeling from such an experience too. x
