Shopping Trolley

Gabs, I am sorry that happened to you. I know how much pain you must be in. I know God knows what that lady did to you and she will have to pay later. I hope you get your results soon. I hope it is nothing serious. If it is arthris my husband has had both of his hips replaced. He is fine with them. He had his first on doen 12 years ago and the second one done 5 years ago. He still does all the things he use to. Good luck to you and I hope the pain subsides soon. Jannie

Gabs, You seem to attract bad luck. LOL I dont know why some people are so cruel. It seems that people are just getting worse at being mannerly than better. LOL You are so bad. LOL I hope she had eggs too. I hope her bleach got a hole in it and spoiled all over her car carpet. The carpet will have a permnant discolor there. That will teach her for picking on my friend.

First, you probably should've fell to the floor & screamed, especially because it was that painful. It would have told her the reason you were moving so slowly, as well as at least, scared the living daylights out of her, especially when she found out why. The thought of getting sued would have taught her a good lesson. In my case, being a martial artist, a prankster, & somewhat of a rebel, & having a few lost marbles do have its advantages. I managed to have two incidents similar to this. First incident was when someone got too close to me & I caught my ankle under his shopping cart. (I guess you call it a trolley out across the Atlantic, as well as drive on the other side of the road, & yeah - I know. Screws still turn in the same direction to have its desired effect.) He just quickly backed up & scooted around me. So far, all I had in my shopping cart was a 25 lbs. bag of rice. After I felt that my ankle wasn't as bad as I made it look, with all my strength, I pushed my shopping cart into the guy, & sat on the floor holding my ankle. In any event, the way he would have fell forwards if he wasn't pushing his shopping cart, he had to know I was faking it, & actually, intentionally pushed my shopping cart into him. The second incident - well - it wasn't really anyone in a rush or pushing me. It was two ladies walking side by side talking about (something that made me look like the avatar I am using). They were facing each other, not watching where they were going, & moving at a fast pace. Thinking that they would just go around me, one of the ladies almost rammed right into my right side. Only place to dodge them would have meant getting hit by the other one. I had two options, but I went for the less strnuous & dangerous one & did a ward-off-right & shoved one cart into the other. (The other option would have been something similar, but instead of a circular motion to shove one cart into another, did a linear move & shoved the cart backwards into the lady.) After getting over the shock that I "just reacted when I realized that I was going to get rammed," we just laughed at what the other lady said was "a scene taken right out of a Jackie Chan movie."

First all I can say is "Ouch". I know exactly how that feels and I give you a lot of credit for not saying anything to them let alone not saying it here. Of course the mylot censors might block the words but I can imagine them quite well. I don't know why some do that and cannot at least say sorry for doing such. I'd be mortified if I hit someone like that and I'd have been very apologetic. Some though I suppose have no manners or they are too stuck on themselves to care about others. Make sure you rest that hip ok? Put some ice or heat (which ever works better for you) on it to help. You don't want to make it worse.

Oh sweetie, I do hope it gets better, quickly. Is it bruised? If it is than put a bit of ice on it to ease any pain and swelling. If it is more actual hip pain, a hot bath could be helpful. I hate that there are people like this around. I try to get in front of my buggy/trolley so it is not so bad if a rude something gets behind me. I did have a person behind me keep bumping into me with theirs. I let it go the first two times then turn around and asked them to please step back and stop beating me with their buggy! I was not in a good mood to begin with and I just could not stand one more bump. I was as far forward as I could get with out crowding, I was not going to be so rude as to bump into the person in front of me!LOL

No, you are not terrible. You have every right to be upset, and I don't blame you for wishing all of those things on that terrible woman. If you had let loose with the words that were in your mind, she would have deserved every single one of them. I hate it when people are so rude that they don't care whether they have hurt someone or not. I had that happen to me years ago when I was still with my first husband. I was about 7 months pregnant, so the hormones were in a rage as it was. This lady kept pushing forward with her cart and bumped me at least 3 or 4 times. My temper finally got the better of me and I turned around and shoved the cart back into her as hard as I could and told her to keep her d--n cart to herself. The cashier had even seen what was going on and told the lady to stop being so rude to her customers. And you know what? I didn't feel one bit guilty! Not one iota! LOL

Firstly may I congratulate you on being so kind and nice and refraining from calling her other names which she rightfully deserves, woman is certainly not one of them, you are sensitive, warm and caring and like me expect that in others, but sadly we are disappointed often. You showed remarkable refrain, others would have given her a right mouthful or worse driven their trolley into her see how she likes it! Well if you believe in karma then hopefully that woman for what she did to you will have some nasty karma coming her way SOON! I can think of some nastier things than having her eggs break that's for sure! Here's a hug my friend and wishing you some much needed TLC x

That was unbelievably rude! I can't believe it! I think I would have told her I had just gotten out of the hospital and thank you for hitting me with your cart! I hope she didn't do any damage to you! Get out the heating pad and I'll say a prayer it gets better quickly! I don't blame you for wishing broken eggs for her!

Awwwww ((((Gabs)))), I know how much pain you get from that hip, at the slightest little thing, so that must really have hurt. The "Trolley Demons" are all over the place; they're rude and spiteful. It doesn't take much just to say that one little word, sorry. I don't know what's wrong with some people. A woman did it to me once, in Sainsbury's Brighton; first she ran the trolley into me quite hard, and hurt my heel as well as ramming it into my backside, I looked round at her and she started talking to her hubby, so I carried on putting my shopping on the band, and she kept nudging me with the trolley. I looked round once more, and was ignored again and it was then I got the devil in me and lost my rag. lol. I thrust my backside hard into the front of her trolley so it jerked back and hit her in the stomach. Well, she must have known what she'd been doing, because neither she nor her hubby said a word. I packed my shopping and walked out of the shop... with a satisfied smile on my face. lol. I hope your hip feels better soon. I think you have another week before your xray results, don't you... five days, maybe. I hope you can get through that time comfortably, my dear friend. Till then, I'm sending a BIG (((((((((HUGGGGGGGGG)))))))))), for you. x

It just seems to have become the trend with some people in this country to act as hard as possible and show no consideration towards others. We use to be such a polite nation and were always apologising, now some find it acceptable to barge past people and just be out and out rude. Good job I weren't there gabs, I would have given her a piece of my mind, even though I am very wary of people nowadays. I bet this woman is a complete coward and would never has done this if it were a big man infront of her. People like this make me sick and unfortunately there seems to be more of her breed in our country. I hope you are feeling better now. Its the last thing you needed. I hope her bags did break and she slipped on the eggs and went crashing to the floor and landed on HER hip. Then she would know the pain. Oh, that sounds terrible, but if it weren't for people like this, I wouldn't have these thoughts in the first place. I have an imaginary hitlist and it seems to be growing by the day!!LOL Take care Gabs x

I am so sorry that person hurt your hip. You really sound like the way I was before my complete hip operation. In pain all the time and some of those pain pills just never seem to work. I tell ya, having that surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. I have less pain and never severe like yours. But if that is what your Doc is leading you to DO IT! Try not to be scared because in the long run you will be oh so much more happier! I wish you the best. And blast those nasty people who cant even apologize! lol Lilac54

oh my poor lil sis. that was not needed to you. but like others said, i believe in karma and this woman sure gets her punishment. maybe she has a bad relationship or is lonely or something else. and i agree to lilac, do what they tell you and i hope you get what you need. my dad had arthritis and tuberculose bazyllus in both of them, and they couldnt replace some of the bones, because they where all damaged to much. he did regret because he didnt do anything much earlier. so he had this pain since i could remember. i pray that the time goes fast and you can have a better life, without pain. if i could, i would take the pain away from you. extra big hugs and love sweetie

Oh dear. Isn't it amazing how many ignorant boors there are out there walking around, with manners (or the obvious lack of it) to match! Wolfie is right, karma will make it all even out and that b...h will get her just desserts, don't you worry. If it were me I would have definitely told her off in no uncertain terms! I read your previous posts about your hip and wondering how you got on. I have bad arthritis on my joints and sciatica on my hip. I have found relief by taking MSM and Celadrin. You can buy them over the counter at Price Club/Costco and they have helped me tremendously. My pharmacist was the one who told me about Celadrin when it was new. He told me that his wife has been on it for about three weeks and felt like a new woman! I went and bought a bottle and it is amazing how much relief I experienced after a few days. I am taking it three times a day with food, with a tablet of MSM. I prefer these natural remedies. I do not like taking NSAIDs because of the side effects, like liver toxicity. If you are having a really rough time with the pain, take some dandelion root tea and stinging nettle tea (together in a mug). I have found that the tea helps to ease the pain. I also found a natural remedy that uses sultana raisins and gin to help ease arthritis pain. I got this from a book that I bought online named The Big Black Book. The recipe says to take a handful of sultanas and keep them soaking in a saucer in gin. They should just be barely covered by the gin. Once the raisins have absorbed all of the gin, then you can start eating a few a day. I don't know if they work because I take them with my MSM and Celadrin, but they make a tasty snack! Anyway, I am hoping you feel better. I am sending you loving thoughts and energy and next time you get into a similar situation just let 'er rip! You'll feel better for it. ;-0

Gabs, you are obviously in pain. Why not tell the cashier so when she asked if you are allright. That would have put the lady to shame and made her realised that she has to be more careful in future. She does not know you have hip problem and could think it is only a small matter to knock into you.

You are certainly not terrible. I think that you should have let loose on that woman. That was really horrible of her. Sometimes these kind of people need a wake up call. I am sorry you are in pain...I hope you get better. I am sure that she will get her's one day....

Hello dear sweet Gabs, I just hope your hip is okay after what that woman did to you. Get some massage or proper treatment for your hip and do take good rest so that it heals properly. My dear friend i know and can feel your pain but i would advise you to forget about such rude persons as they don't deserve the importance we give them by thinking about them and feeling bad about ourselves. If at all you should have given her a piece of your mind there itself. I know you are such a positive and delightful person that such things wouldn't deter you. I wish you best of health. good luck. have a nice day folks. :)

Hugs to you. She is a horrid bully. I can imagine her being mean to her family and colleagues. Some day she is going to get back the meaness she did to others. I wish you had turned around and clutched your hip and cried in front of her. Love to you.

I am so sorry that this happen to you. Why some people are so rude, they just don't realize what they did. You should have told her how much you got hurt by her ruedeness. I also wihs that some way she should also get hurt in the way you got hurt, so that she can realize.

Oh my goodness yes some people are so nasty, and they do not realize how nasty they really are to others, I do hope that you are ok, and at least this woman could of apologized for what she did. Yes you get all kinds of rude and arrogant people when you go shopping some of them can be very nice but on the whole I mean. Oh I do not blame you for feeling the way you do as now you have been in more pain due to this woman and I hope that something does happen to this lady and it can make her think twice about what she does to others.

no you are not being terrible sweetheart - when you told me about it I thought a lot worse! Some people are just rude and inconsiderate and should take a long hard look at themselves! xx
