Why did a woman call me a ***** in a grocery store?

Question

I was approaching the cracker/snack aisle, then a woman aggressively "pushed" me down the aisle with her basket. I kept going, hoping she would go around. I needed to stop on that aisle, so I did. She stopped too. She had plenty of room to go around me, but she didn't. I turned around to acknowledge she was there, she gave me a dirty look and went around. Then I saw her again as I was going to the checkout, she stared me down like a hawk. At the checkout, she was there too, behind me. When I took my items out of my cart to put on the conveyor, she looked at me and said *****. I ignored her.

Answer 1

she must be really annoyed had a bad day then she saw you looking so calm and got pissed off and tried to make you miserable

Answer 2

I can't answer why that person behaved in that manner, but clearly here it was not your fault. Rather, by ignoring her, you're the one who is correct. There are some people who aren't happy for some reason, and some of those people who will push their concerns into the lives of others. There's nothing you can do to stop them. (Imagine trying to calm that person down. Would it work? Probably not.) The best choice is to ignore them; you won't see them again.  

Answer 3

Something was wroooooooong with her.You did nothing wrong.She sounds like she has a mental probelm

Answer 4

She is female,and females do stupid things like that.That"s  why they get beat up alot.Good thing the law protects them.

Answer 5

omigosh! what a miserable old lady.

i used to work in a cafe, and i had one customer like that who glared at me and snapped at me for no reason. I know that i didn't do anything to deserve that, yet she glared at me anyway.

i wouldn't mind her. you didn't do anything wrong, the woman is clearly just unhappy and takes it out on everyone else.

Answer 6

Maybe she was just having a bad day and you were the next person in line.  Good for you for ignoring her - you showed you are better than she.

Answer 7

Because she was stoned.

People create these things in their heads like that you were giving her dirty looks (when you probably didn't even notice her) or that you were trying to cut her off (when you probably didn't even notice her). Some people are just uppity.  

Answer 8

ignorance is blindidng... hatred is also blinding...

some people get their kicks in seeing others upset. dont give them the pleasure in makin u upset.

Answer 9

some people are just naturally nasty.you done the right thing.i totally believe in carma. just imagine what a misserable  existence that her life must be. . get even live a good life.lol

Answer 10

Sometimes people who are a little unbalanced are out and about.  I remember being punched by a wacko in the middle of a department store many years ago, and the store employees did nothing.

You showed incredible patience!!!!

Answer 11

Are you 100% sure she was talking to you.

She could have looked at her phone saw a b**chy message from a friend and said *****  

Answer 12

Because people are getting weirder every day...seriously.

She had the issue, because a simple "excuse me" would have been ALL she would have needed to have done for you to step out of her way, if she felt you were in it.

But no, because you made HER look like the idiot, she proved her point that she was by calling you that name.  Some people!  Sheesh!

Answer 13

omg shes insane! or just in a really really bad mood. was she acting like that to anyone who came her way or particularly you? pretty weird...maybe u...knocked over one of her items or something to spark her off......whatever it was she was pretty weird...

Answer 14

People are rude and ignorant these days!  Don't pay attention to them!!!1

Answer 15

i would have squirted her with my spray cheese if i were you....she was probably already pissy for some other reason, but it's not your fault someone peed in her weeds

Answer 16

Just be glad you're probably never going to see her again. Lots of people take out their pent-up aggression on strangers.
