Today, I was riding the subway, reading a book, when a woman suddenly shoved a flyer over my book. Aghast by her rude gesture, I declined to take the paper. I looked over and noticed it was a flyer for a missing girl. FML

Still no reason to just shove it over op's book. I'm sure if the woman handed it normally, op would understand.

What she did was rude. If she wanted to give you that flyer, she would have said "excuse me", tapped you somewhere like your hands to get your attention. But I do feel sorry for the poor girl, suffering away from her parents, or worse.

Possibly even a desperate person with a missing child.. Whom could have disappeared whilst using the subway, or near the subway.

I agree that what she did was rude, OP, but you should cut her some slack, especially if the missing girl is a family member.

I'm with you, OP. There's no excuse for shoving anything in a person's face, regardless of what it is. Excuse me and a GENTLE tap on the shoulder would have been an acceptable way to get your attention, not that. (I emphasize gentle because I've had people practically bruise me to get my attention on the subway before--not cool either.)

Okay.... So something mildly rude happened to you. What about that poor missing girl? :(

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that maybe the woman had tried to be polite handing out these flyers previous to what she did to the op. Maybe many people so wrapped up in their own world paid her no attention because subways are not usually were you want to start talking to complete strangers. so she started the rude approach and looky looky it worked. I bet op and anyone else she did this too will always remember what that poor child looks like.

That's no excuse for rude behavior. "oh they're really involved in a book they're reading... Instead of tapping them on the shoulder I'll just... Shove this flyer in their face cause that's not rude at all...." seriously? I'm betting you would've pushed the paper away as well before you looked at it, too. When someone behaves rudely, the most common reaction is to reciprocate the behavior, not be kind and pay attention after the rude behavior was exhibited.

Her way of handing them out could be seen as rude but put yourself in her situation. If your child or loved one was missing you would be very upset and worried. Sad state of affairs when people are more focused on their feelings and manners than actual missing person

True, a missing person is important but from how I read the fml, it sounds like the lady didn't even say anything about it until after the Op got rid of the flyer. I wouldn't have even bothered with the flyer in that case, fyl Op but I wouldn't feel too bad about it.
