I know I have a thing with getting hostile and aggressive at times about my space. But it's been much calmer lately.

Then this morning in Tesco [kind of like Walmart - ish] I was walking around the clothing, which is pretty narrow. I turned the corner to be confronted by a woman with a huge trolley containing a child. She said "excuse me" and the trolley was practically in my stomach! I thought I was quite reasonable, and said "can you just give me some time to move back?" as she was edging her trolley further forward. I thought my tone of voice was pretty polite. But maybe not, because she said "you don't have to be so rude!" I felt ashamed and chastened and sad and hurt. Because the one time I felt I was being reasonable and not rude, I get told I am! And that ... hurts. It wasn't like it was easy to back up, the clothing section being somewhat maze like. It's not really wide enough for trolleys in the first place. Maybe I was rude, even though I didn't feel it, as, after all, I was tired, and had bad period cramps.

Was I being rude? Was I in the wrong?
Or was I actually being reasonable?
