I had an argument with a woman in the supermarket this afternoon. Standing behind me in the queue at the checkouts I noticed her looking me in a way which plainly said she thought I’d pushed in ahead of her, and sure enough this is what I was accused of a few seconds later.
Firstly, let me say that I didn’t push in. Quite apart from the fact that this is something I’d not do intentionally, there was no way this woman (I shall for the purposes of this post call her Loretta) got there before me. She had a trolley (I had a basket) and joined the queue from the same direction I did - quite simply I’d have seen her if she’d been standing there when I arrived.
