Today, an old lady savagely shoved me out of a queue, after I'd been waiting for twenty minutes. I couldn't bring myself to fight back or say anything, and ended up dragging my sorry arse to the back of the queue. FML

Today, while queuing in a shop, a girl appeared to bunk the line. When I asked her about it, she said it was nothing to do with me. She then asked me what was I going to do about it, before kneeing me in the nuts. I was overtaken by everyone in the queue. FML

Today, I was yelled at by a bunch of angry people because I couldn't physically move out of the way while 10 more tried to force their way onto a subway in Shanghai. Then one old lady started hitting me with her purse to get me to move even more. FML

Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

Today, I went to an over-crowded grocery store. As I reached the front of a long line, I noticed that a cart had been abandoned in everybody's way. Trying to be helpful, I moved it to the side. An enormous woman then shoved me and yelled at me for "pushing her property around." FML

Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Today, I was on the train next to an elderly woman. When I told her it was my stop, she turned her knees towards the aisle, and I, thinking that she was letting me go by, began to edge past. She screamed, "DON'T PUSH ME!" and the whole train turned to look. I was thus the asshole pushing the old lady. FML

Today, the slow, incompetent kitchen staff was keeping customers waiting for their food for 20 minutes. I got sick of a bunch of grown adults with kids my age ganging up on me, so I quit on the spot, and walked. Some guy grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back to the register. People cheered. FML

Today, I shouted, "Fuck off!" out of reflex when I felt someone behind me grab my bag and pull it off my shoulder. It turned out to be an elderly man with a walking stick, who was trying to steady himself in a busy crowd. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I was taking a walk, when an elderly lady in a motorized wheelchair slammed into me from behind. There was plenty of room to pass by, but noooo, trying to run me down like a dog, then giving me the finger and yelling "Watch where you're walking!" is so damn preferable. FML

Take a stand. People like that will continue to think they are the boss of everything if you don't defy them.

There is a logical explanation for this. Clearly this lady (or half beast) had some anger issues, and if the OP retaliated by arguing, she would've probably beaten him senseless with her walking stick.

I agree 1, once an old lady pushed passed me going into a store and turned and made a hissing sound at me.

Easy revenge opportunity missed - coulda said to her "I would have given you my spot if you'd asked since you're old and going to die sooner than me anyway."

There was no way to win in this situation. He makes a scene she playes innocent and then everyone thinks he's trying to take advantage of the elderly / is an asshole. Or he does nothing and wallows in self pity. Either way old lady wins.. ******* old people...

I think #43's answer is the only way to win in this situation.

F that! If the line was so long, someone had to witness her shoving you like that. You should have moved right back in front of her and just gave her a deathly stare.

I bet if you shoved her BACK with equal force she'd think TWICE before doing that to another person!

Sometimes that back fires, and they just want to show their dominance even more.

Who cares if other ppl give u stares?! They probably saw her push u. "treat other ppl how u expect to be treated" so if she pushes u push her back don't be a pussy

I really don't see how you would need to go to the back of the line. Even if the fuckhead took your place, you should still be right after her.
